PIK Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 http://www.ottawasun.com/2012/04/08/blizzard-taking-charity-out-of-politics This is good news. Should have happened along time ago. Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.
eyeball Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 Talk about putting politics into things... “The Packard Foundation was very responsible for demarketing Canadian B.C. salmon,” Eaton said. “It had links to Alaska ranch salmon. Ranch salmon...this means hatcheries for wild native species of salmon. “It in effect destroyed Canadian BC salmon, and it increased the value of Alaskan salmon,” she said. Canadian BC salmon...this means open net pen raised invasive species of salmon, which threaten wild Pacific salmon no matter which country they originate. Wild Pacific salmon will always command a higher price than farmed Atlantic salmon for the same reason a prime rib roast will a wiener. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

Good news for legitimate charities, bad news for Tides and other manipulative groups trying to shape Canadian domestic policy through foreign donations. I agree, should have been done long ago. Quote
