So why don't you advocate the federal government subsidize the conversion of open net fish farms to contained fish farms if it is so bad? The federal government pays billions for EV plants and other things in Ontario and Quebec. Why don't they treat B.C. the same way?

If the Toronto police or some Islamic association want to take Rebel News to court for driving a truck around displaying a few things about The Religion of Peace and the militant Palestinians, I am all for it. Let's see what kind of claims they can make in view of the endless list of terrorism and savagery of many followers of Islam in the world. Hopefully Rebel News will load up with information and present it in court. As long as both sides have the right to present their information. A good source is The Religion of Peace (TROP). Let the truth be said. Islam: The Politically Incorrect Truth (thereligionofpeace.com)

You obviously have not done any studying of Islam. Study the The Religion of Peace (TROP) website to learn the truth. Your comments show you are completely in the dark. TROP is a non-political, fact-based site which examines the ideological threat that Islam poses to human dignity and freedom.

What exactly are the comments that you say are "spreading hatred:"? In a free country supposedly with freedom of speech, would you say everyone has the right to oppose Islam just as much as you oppose Bible thumpers? Opposing freedom of speech for some but not yourself is called hypocrisy.

Ontario and Quebec receive billions in financial support of their industries. What about the B.C. fish farm industry?

If the government wants to get rid of open net fish farms the solution is obvious. The federal government should put up the money to convert them to close, containment fish farms. That is an expensive thing to do. It is a total rebuild of the fish farms and the open net fish farmers do not have the money. The government gives billions to build the EV battery plants in Ontario. Why don't they similarly help the fish farm industry convert their fish farms? That would be the logical solution. The government gives billions to build the EV battery plants in Ontario. Why don't they similarly help the fish farm industry convert their fish farms? That would be the logical solution.

Actually the government announced they are shutting down fish farms. So yes, they are talking about it and beyond that they have decided to shut them down. I think the government should subsidize converting the fish farms to closed containment fish farms. The federal government gives billions of dollars to subsidize the auto industry, and billions for new EV battery plants being built in Ontario. They give Quebec billions of dollars for various things. So they should help convert the fish farms if they are opposed to the open net fish farms instead of just shutting them down. There are thousands of jobs at stake.

Interesting article.

Who said farmed salmon were supposed to be a benefit to wild salmon stock? Nobody. What benefit are wild salmon to fish farmed salmon? None. People buy farm raised salmon instead of wild caught salmon because it is much less expensive. I doubt the taste is that much different than wild caught but I have not compared them myself. Canada imports a number of different fish and people buy it all. The availability of fish-farmed salmon at a lower price makes it more affordable for a large portion of the population who would otherwise not buy any salmon. Not everyone can afford the high cost of wild caught salmon. It is quite expensive and only caught during a short period each year. There are many foods we eat that are not the healthiest foods in the world and too much of certain foods may be bad for our health. That probably goes for salmon and other fish. But eating it only occasionally is probably not harmful. Should government intervene in the market place and ban all foods that are less than ideal? I doubt it. If they did, they would probably have to get rid of a large part of the foods in the market. If government should get rid of foods that are not too healthy for people, they would have to get rid of all fatty foods, all deep fried foods, perhaps many meats that are loaded with fat, perhaps many baked goods, and foods with cholesterol and many other things. Liquor can be a bad thing and is very harmful to many people. Why doesn't government shut down all liquor stores and ban booze? That is something that is far worse than any fish from a fish farm. The question is how far do you want government to control everyone's life? Government is supposed to be a servant of the people, not a master. The cabinet ministers are called ministers and not masters for a reason. The word minister means servant. Therefore the Prime Minister is supposed to be primarily a servant of the people.

I am not the creator of the laws. But I just believe a lot of them are extreme with no proof. The carbon tax is the most obvious scam imposed by a radical extremist government. Putting an environmental extremist in charge of an environmental department of the federal government doesn't help either. A guy who illegally climbed the CN Tower in Toronto for Greenpeace is put in charge of the environment and climate change. What do you expect would happen?

The fact is overfishing is a major problem with the wild caught salmon fishing industry. They need to look at themselves for a change. Are they themselves depleting the fish stocks by over fishing? The Consequences of Overfishing and its Impact On B.C. Salmon – Blog – Evergreen Collective

Every industry that man is involved in has some effect on the environment. The energy industry, forestry, fishing, manufacturing, etc. all have some effect on the environment. The same situation exists with fish farming. It may have some effect, but just how much is debatable. Those that want to get rid of it claim it is having a dire effect on wild salmon fishing. Just how true is that and how serious is the effect? Wild salmon fisherman have a reason to be biased because farmed salmon are a fraction of the price of wild salmon. They are a tremendous benefit to society and producing them creates a lot of jobs. But of course it is some competition for fishermen. But is that a reason to ban an industry? I don't think so. How is it possible to get an honest opinion on this subject. Not very likely. How many or what percentage of wild salmon are actually affected by the fish farms? That should be the question, not whether a tiny percentage may be affected. As I said, everything man does has some affect. Just how much of an affect is the real question.

No, what I am saying is I don't accept the decrees and findings by completely immoral and untrustworthy people. "Canadian actor William Shatner has waded into the debate over open-net salmon farming with a profanity-laced video for Pacific Wild." It would be foolish to take seriously anything coming from the mouth of someone who made a profanity-laced video. Environmentalists are worshipers of Mother Earth and blame anything man does as immoral or wrong. Every human activity has some side effects on the environment. Simply living affects the environment. That is the way the world is. Mother Earth worshipers don't accept it. There is no science that proves man is causing excessive CO2 and excessive climate change. There is no scientific proof that man can control the climate. The majority of Canadians do not belief the government is taking foreign interference seriously. The majority of Canadians believe Canada's bilingualism is a myth.

I would say there is no absolute rule but when people like the dishonest politicians claim that man is causing climate change and man can control the climate, I would dismiss that as a fraud. There is no justification for carbon taxes. Fish farms fall under the same category. I doubt it is the fish farms that cause the variations in the number of wild salmon to go up the rivers and the number being caught. This again is most likely built on speculation. All the environmentalists and some commercial fisherman jumped on it and make the phony claim although they themselves know nothing about it. They are just parroting what they heard some say. Many of the government actions are built on the herd mentality. The carbon tax is the biggest fraud going and proves the government can't be trusted. This government has proven it's complete lack of morals with the endless scandals, foreign interference, abortion, MAID, lack of support for the Canadian Armed Forces, and waste of billions of dollars of taxpayer money. The just can't be trusted with anything.

Tragically the federal government announced they are shutting down a large number of open net fish farms on the B.C. coast. This will put thousands of people out of work. One native village said 200 of the 1200 people in their village work on the fish farms. This will be a big hit to the BC economy and put many people out of work. The rationale is that fish farms spread disease to wild caught salmon. But I think this is very hard to prove and even harder to prove that it is causing any significant harm. The fact is the wild salmon numbers vary greatly every year. Since these salmon go up rivers on the coast to spawn in large numbers and some years in smaller numbers, how could anyone possible prove it is caused by the open net salmon? Secondly, and perhaps more important, wild caught salmon can only be harvested for a small limited number of weeks per year. The cost of wild salmon to the consumer is I understand it several times the cost of fish farmed salmon. For the rich people, this is probably no concern. Famous people like William Shatner, who just came out with foul language condemning fish farms will never worry about the cost of wild caught salmon. He is probably loaded with money as a movie star. But ordinary people who do not have that kind of money should be able to access salmon from fish farms just as they do in the rest of world. There are fish farms around the world. Canada's governments ordain that driving a gas or diesel vehicle is bad because it causes more CO2 gas to be emitted, while our illustrious leaders jets around the world emitting more CO2 than anyone else on the planet. Intervention is the energy industry is causing great harm as well and could cost Canadians billions in lost revenue, jobs, and prosperity. These radical interventionists worship their god, Mother Earth, and have been able to cause great harm to the forest industry in B.C., the energy industry in western Canada, the general population through carbon taxes, and now they can add the fish farming industry to their list of victims. Who is next?

" Prime Minister Justin Trudeau plans to publicly apologize for the discrimination faced by First Nations children and their families because of the federal government's child welfare policies, CBC News has learned. Trudeau outlined the government's plan for the apology in a June 17 letter to Assembly of First Nations National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak. " PM says he will apologize for First Nations child welfare discrimination (msn.com) How many millions (or billions) of dollars have Canadians already paid through their taxes and government payouts to FNs for claimed mis-deeds of the past? Seems to me vast sums of money have already been paid out for the so-called Sixties scoop and many other things.

With all you commenting to try to explain away your statement, you have not succeeded. You could much more easily have simply said what you meant and why your conversation with Dougie somehow clarifies it. But you haven't done so, which means you have nothing to offer to change your statement that said you are atheist.

Yes God is morally superior. The Bible is God's revelation to man whether you like it or not. Atheists reject it because they supposedly don't believe God exists. The Bible is absolutely infallible and inspired. Atheism is something you created in your mind unfortunately. It is a dead end, a hopeless existence with nothing to look forward to. You said you were atheist. What more needs to be read? Nothing else you could say changes that. You are grasping for straws to try to escape.

I do not have to read the posts between you and Dougie because I am speaking to your claim of atheism and the topic as it relates to atheism versus the Bible. Quite simple.

You continue to try to divert the topic. Christianity and the Bible are central to the topic. You as an atheist of course would deny that and claim it has nothing to do with the topic.

I will agree that people are born with a conscience, but that is very limited. Many people who had consciences also did many evil things in the world and continue to do so. So God gave man his revelation with commandments, laws, and the gospel. Atheists reject all that which means they only have what other people say as some sort of guide.

No diversion at all. It is all part of the same topic. People who are atheists or claim to be have no moral compass or foundation because they don't believe in the God of the Bible. Therefore they don't believe God has ordained certain commandments, laws, and principles. If in their mind there is no God, why would they? They don't believe in God so why would they believe in his written revelation, the Bible?

You don't make sense. You are the one that professed to be an atheist and I simply replied to that. Your statement saying you are atheist says it all. Nothing else changes that.

Of course your claim of being an atheist has something to do with the topic at hand. The gay-pride issue is a Biblical issue of right and wrong. Atheists try to ignore the Biblical commandments and teachings on Biblical morality. So if one is a claimed atheist, he can claim he is not under any Christian or Biblical moral principles. He can far more easily go along with gay pride practices and agenda. It's as simple as that. Claiming atheism is contrary to reason and logic as I explained. Your only argument is "its not the topic at hand" even if it has a direct bearing on one's lack of moral or Biblical beliefs.
