Alexandra Morton may soon give up her campaign against fish farms

After almost two decades campaigning against open-net fish farms on B.C.'s coasts, biologist Alexandra Morton said Thursday that she is nearly ready to throw in the towel.

Morton said that with the election of a majority Conservative government in Ottawa, which she claims is in support of the fish farm industry, she can't see how she can continue her campaign.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Actually, wait. What the fuck? So, Morton, you wrecked the system, handed all control of regulation and enforcement over to the FEDS, now you're going to shrug your shoulders and say, 'fuck it'.

You lame ass useless excuse for a scientist. Way to go. Thanks for leaving those of us who are responsible scientists with your clean up bill. Thanks for nothing.

They blew that one out of the water, it is impossible for Alex to give up. We just need more people to come together. Sometimes it is exhausting work but the Wild salmon people are strong.

To be honest, I'd take Canada's problems over the U.S.'s any day. At least they have a healthcare system in that country. We're over here squabbling about dumb shit like birth certificates.

JC, you appear to be a rare form of excrement. If I were webmaster here I'd find your chicken shit ass and make you bleed from your eye sockets. You can find me here: 503-523-8387 cell

Alex, you did what you could for a long time. You are a living saint, in my opinion, and I hope you can get your life back after this fight. The human machine is out of control, and it's not your fault.
