  1. why dont you ask her....... http://www.moldychum.com/home-old/2010/7/1...l.html#comments
  2. the EU is banning seal products not the americans
  3. I am angered by how ignorant and self centered the americans are, to think that they have a legitimate reason to come and terrorise our politicians, as if they have absolutely nothing inhumane happening on their own soil. I'm inclined to agree that this was a form of terrorism based on just that argument alone. If this was a canadian tossing the pie, yah give them a slap on the wrist, but because it's an american who has ABSOLUTELY no right to cross our border and assault our politicians, toss her in jail and keep her there for as long as possible. And I would think canada should blacklabel her and her ENTIRE family as terrorists and not allow them in the country. blaming a whole country for one persons stupidity is the stupidest thing i have ever read on this site (that is saying a lot ). wait sorry including the individuals family in this persons actions. jesus i knew there was reason to stay away from here. this statement just rectorates it for me. im going back to the drake
  4. Federal fisheries minister Gail Shea’s comments about Skeena River sockeye salmon returns show why regional management is needed, said the New Democratic Party MLA for Stikine, Doug Donaldson. “Maybe the salmon will return a year later,” Shea said in an interview on CBC radio’s All Points West during her visit to Prince Rupert yesterday. “Nobody knows what’s happening in the marine environment.” To suggest salmon might be a year late returning shows a lack of knowledge, said Donaldson. “That’s absolutely asinine,” he said. “It flies in the face of how the migration cycle works with sockeye.” The fish have always returned on a four-year-cycle and are not likely to suddenly change, he said. “Evolution just doesn’t quite work that way.” In July the Department of Fisheries and Oceans predicted Skeena sockeye returns would be average, but by December local news reports said the returns had collapsed. The federal government has launched an inquiry into the collapse of the Fraser River sockeye run and Shea said in the CBC interview that maybe some of the recommendations will also apply to the Skeena. Donaldson said it’s time to act on a January, 2009, report from the Pacific Salmon Forum, chaired by former fisheries minister John Fraser. It recommended considering a watershed governance model that shares decision making between provincial, federal and first nation governments
  5. this is why you never trust oil companies or the people that work for them. my favorite line in this video is you are lucky. just like the oil companies tell the people of alberta and fort mac ........................................................... http://vimeo.com/3213063 ...........................
  6. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has estimated that a collapse of this ice sheet would raise sea levels around the world by about 16.5 feet, on average, and that figure is still widely used. However, that theoretical average does not consider several key forces, such as gravity, changes in the Earth’s rotation or a rebound of the land on which the massive glacier now rests, scientists say in the new study. Right now, this ice sheet has a huge mass, towering more than 6,000 feet above sea level over a large section of Antarctica that’s about the size of Texas. This mass is sufficient to exert a substantial gravitational attraction, researchers say, pulling water toward it – much as the gravitational forces of the sun and moon cause the constant movement of water on Earth commonly known as tides. A study was done more than 30 years ago pointing out this gravitational effect, but for some reason it became virtually ignored. People forgot about it when developing their sea level projections for the future.” Aside from incorporating the gravitational effect, the new study adds further wrinkles to the calculation – the weight of the ice forcing down the land mass on which it sits, and also affecting the orientation of the Earth’s spin. When the ice is removed, it appears the underlying land would rebound, and the Earth’s axis of rotation defined by the North and South Pole would actually shift about one-third of a mile, also affecting the sea level at various points. When these forces are all taken into calculation, the sea level anywhere near Antarctica would actually fall, the report concludes, while many other areas, mostly in the Northern Hemisphere, would go up. If the West Antarctic Ice Sheet completely melted, the East Coast of North America would experience sea levels more than four feet higher than had been previously predicted – almost 21 feet – and the West Coast, as well as Miami, Fla., would be about a foot higher than that. Most of Europe would have seas about 18 feet higher. If this did happen, there would also be many other impacts that go far beyond sea level increase, including much higher rates of coastal erosion, greater damage from major storm events, problems with ground water salinization, and other issues. And there could be correlated impacts on other glaciers and ice sheets in coastal areas that could tend to destabilize them as well.” It’s still unclear, Clark said, when or if a breakup of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet might occur, or how fast it could happen. It may not happen for hundreds of years, he said, and even then it may not melt in its entirety. Research should continue to better understand the forces at work, he said. However, these same effects apply to any amount of melting that may occur from West Antarctica. So many coastal areas need to plan for greater sea level rise than they may have expected. A significant part of the concern is that much of the base of this huge ice mass actually sits below sea level, forced down to the bedrock by the sheer weight of the ice above it. Its edges flow out into floating ice shelves, including the huge Ross Ice Shelf and Ronne Ice Shelf. This topography makes it “inherently unstable,” Clark said. There is widespread concern that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which is characterized by extensive marine-based sectors, may be prone to collapse in a warming world. the researchers wrote in their report.

  7. if you know how to cast you dont need a guide you can always just . DIY .it is the only true why to fish. i have traveled to many places around the world and always diy fished. even if it is hard. the ones you do catch will be worth a thousand times more then some paid dude kissing your :$*%&: for a tip. the second money exchanges hands it loses its purity.(even if you get skunked. you can take some pride in that you are not just another :$*%&: paying for a fish)
  8. if you caught any one of those fish with a guide they are not your fish they are the guides, i love people that go to the salt and brag about all the fish they caught. when all they really did was listen get pointed in the right direction and cast. you should rewrite your list on diy only fish caught. in salt that means reading your own tide charts,reading your map picking location , picking your fly , seeing the fish your self , making the cast , catching the fish. these are the only pure fish caught .

  10. We need the food. We need the fuel. What is the difference? IMHO whats the difference lol
  11. we can not stop the fish farms or the commercial fishery. those people jobs and pay checks are why more important then the preservation of the natural wilderness. i think it is just a cycle we should just continue on and get paid.there is just why to many jobs at stake to change.
  12. all of your arguments are based on money and yes i am aware of its importance but it is far from everything, stop believing there is no other way then oil.yes we are all linked in someway, but that does not mean my job is balancing on the oilsands. come to my house and hit me with a bat of reality. 535 8ave se buzzer 082 oh yea im pretty sure sl wont be back. now you in the oil industry rickr can go unchecked on here and can dominate these debates with your superior writing skills.he said what i wish i could. just like you did for your side only he uses facts oh guess you rick couldnt let sl have the last word.
