And; it’s a case that could break new ground in the titanic battle to remove Atlantic Salmon fish farms from the waters of the coast of B.C. Right now, Don Staniford is being sued by Mainstream Canada, a subsidiary of Cermaq, a fish farm trans-national whose single majority stock-holder is the Norwegian government. Mainstream lawyers assert Staniford “disseminated and published defamatory and false statements about the company”on the Global Alliance Against Industrial Aqauaculture, or GAAIA site. GAAIA’s web server dropped the site under pressure, but it has now been replaced by the less noxious(?) Salmonfarmingkills.com. Don Staniford and B.C.’s “Salmon versus Goliath” in the second half. And; Victoria Street Newz publisher and CFUV broadcaster, Janine Bandcroft will join us at the bottom of the hour to bring us up to speed with the goings on on Victoria’s streets and beyond.
