Rawlogs and Sea-Lice Salmon...In the name of Market Share...

It's a record: in the first six months of this year, more than 40 per cent of trees logged on the B.C. coast were exported as raw logs, says the union representing thousands of B.C. wood-industry workers.

A month ago people started telling me about an unusual sea lice epidemic off Nootka Island. People are saying the lice are drug-resistant which is one of the things ex-Attorney General of Norway is trying to warn Canada about last week. (see below) People from the Discovery Islands, Jody Eriksson, Farlyn and Tavish Campbell, began investigating and this video by Twyla Roscovich is what we have learned so far. The statements by the provincial government of British Columbia do not correctly describe what we are seeing. The looming question in my mind is whether the provincial government is covering for Grieg and by so doing risking our wild salmon, including the Fraser River sockeye?

If this concerns you, contact your MP and demand that DFO enforcement officers or the RCMP be tasked to pick up this investigation into how the Province is handling this. If these lice are resistant - they should not have been allowed to spread into the Discovery Islands....
