Alexandra Morton on Fish Farmers’ Charge of “Unwanted Trespass”

Share

Read this blog by Alexandra Morton on another recent development at the Cohen Commission – the charge that she and others observing fish farms up close are somehow trespassing in open waters.

“How dare these Norwegian corporations suggest ‘unwanted trespass’!!!! If
we do not stand up to this now, they will erode our freedoms until we
are all serfs of the corporations. The ocean waters of Canada are not
the private property of anyone! The chiefs of the Broughton have given
me their blessing to travel freely through their territories. I rarely
get angry anymore – it takes too much energy to stay in this fight – but
this is so fundamentally wrong it needs strong opposition.” (Sept. 5, 2011)
