Thank You Alexandra Morton for 20 years of advocacy for wild salmon, whales and our Planet’s oceans.

There doesn’t seem to be much mainstream media reporting of the Harper Government’s most recent scandal at the Cohen Commission.

  • Withholding information from a Federal Commission of Inquiry
  • Intimidating Scientists who are trying to work within an International regulatory system.
  • Congratulating themselves on keeping the information out of public view
