West Coast fish to be tested for Fukushima radiation, CBC News, August 19, 2011:
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency plans to start testing fish off the coast of British Columbia for the presence of radiation stemming from the Fukushima nuclear disaster [...]
Fisheries activist Alexandra Morton with the Raincoast Research Society says she supports the testing, but calls the announcement a political move. Morton says millions of sockeye have started returning to the Fraser River and the fishing season is already well underway.
Salmon are a particular concern to Morton and others because their wide-ranging migration patterns can take them right across the Pacific Ocean to the coast of Japan. [...]
More from Morton
If they were actually concerned about the health of people and the fish, they would have started this actually at the beginning of the commercial openings. But to release this two days before the disease hearings at the Cohen inquiry, to me it’s a political statement, it’s a political effort to appear responsible.

Unless their results can be verified by a truely independent and un-biased lab, gov’t may not be a whole lot believed……

About time. Thanks enenews!

There’d be no excuse left for America not to do the same huh? And we better brace yourself for the results. A profound quantity of ‘white hot” water was dumped into our Ocean.

Their perfect opportunity to spin out some false readings.
Fish testing should have been done the last 5 months if there was any concern for health. So, the motivation must be elsewhere.

I wonder if Arnie would mind if we sent him a dead, and hopefully not two-headed, fish, for testing.
He did offer to accept kleenex wipes (windscreen wipes).

Think I’ll pass on all of the 5 main species (there are a few species that are indigenous to Japan and eastern Russia) of Pacific Salmon this year; Chinook-aka King salmon, Coho-aka Silver salmon, Sockeye-aka Red salmon, Pink-aka “Humpies”, Chum-aka Dog salmon.
There is also a Rainbow Trout strain known as Steel head that migrates between salt and fresh water streams as well…..
Although they may make great gifts to certain fish eating executives whom shall remain nameless………

Dear Majia: welcome to my world. The hacking of my email account (I had my email account as my SN–You were more bright, which is why it may have taken longer for whomever is doing the hacking to get to you) was about two weeks before. So much fun to lose all my inbox, my contacts, my “sent” emails, etc. I’m sorry you’re going through this and I stand, for whatever it’s worth, in solidarity with you.

Dear Majia: Much worse to come. I am not a techie; so, I do not know how much worse or qualitatively what will happen; I just know how history goes so goes the future. We’re currently in a hyper-fascist period in history that is just getting rolling. Another thing you may experience if the same methods at dissuading you from accessing the web for this site or for political discussion in a progressive chat is your aim, is that you will find your internet service, I can only describe it, as “pinched off”. Your connection speeds will slow considerably. I have all the registry cleaners, do regular cyber housekeeping, have the firewalls, etc; but it makes no difference. Attacking, by censors/hackers/government (covert orgs or corporate dorks)is fairly smart, so far on their part, in that they are focusing on individuals so that groups of people can’t resist. It makes denial more plausible for any organized program against whatever it is they find objectionable in our activities. There are diverse other methods by which we will be attacked and information we disseminate “managed”. We will overcome.

I also have a Yahoo account. Yahoo btw, is now regularly interrupting, or outright shutting down, political chats where any hint or whiff of revolutionary or anti-establishmentarian talk is occurring. They used several clever, but obvious to awake people (many defectors to Paltalk are actually from Yahoo political chats). The censorship programs employed at Yahoo have elminated all but the U.S. government approved viewpoints, the fake party polarity gerbil wheel, Libertarians and those who are one of the former in practice but call themsleves, “Independent”…all categories hermetically sealed.

They use a diversity of methods is what my sentence fragment above meant to say. lol

I stopped using Yahoo mail when they said I would have to furnish them so much personal information that my identity could have been easily hacked. Long gone the right to privacy….
I opened a new Hotmail account. Lately, I have noticed, any email with irritated or hostile comments related to the govt pauses so long when I try to send it that I think when it goes, it must have been sent to (or reviewed by) ALL our intelligence(sic) agencies as well. This does not happen with normal correspondence. When I switched back to Yahoo to send a message, same thing.
I am not a subversive. I am not a terrorist. I am an ordinary American. If this is happening to me, I can’t imagine what they are doing to those who are subversive.
Does anyone here know of a secure email provider? Is there such a thing? If not, I will shortly close all my email accounts and they can go to…you know where. I lived without email before and can do it again.

BTW, I sent the EPA many e-mail messages about starting testing for radiation in seafood.
If the U.S. federal reserve is doling out $16 trillion dollars to international bankers and world economies, that’s the least the EPA can do — TEST SEAFOOD, OUR AIR, AND OUR WATER.
Almost all of our salmon’s origin is Canada and our cats’ food has many canned varieties of salmon and ocean fish.
Thanks to you too, Enenews! Your articles are very valuable, you’ve motivated us to do something about dangerous nuclear power, and now I know that I am living near the most hazardous nuclear plant in the world.

Whoopie, I am just amazed at the survival instincts of this cat. We’ve been feeding a feral tomcat that we named Bruno for quite a while. Before Christmas of 2011, along comes this scrappy, long-haired, scraggly, skunk-like-looking kitten that started hanging out with Bruno. They seemed to get along together, sharing feeding bowls and water. I had to laugh while watching Bruno allowing her to eat all of the cat food from the dish.
This poor kitten/cat survived through some of the worst snowstorms imaginable, Fukushima’s radiation, and the heaviest non-stop rains on record this past spring and summer. The fact that she is still alive and has two normal, healthy kittens is truly amazing.

oops! Make that Christmas of 2010.
