LOL. Just in case you decide to eat salmon ALL farmed salmon in BC and east coast are harvested and processed in Canada (there are packing plants near the farms). Been to the packing plants many times over the years for biz.

i read something about 70% of east coast fish being caught, are shipped to china for processing then shipped back to capt highliner?

just about all alaskan fish are sent to china, taiwan, vietnam etc for processing, i would be supprised if BC wasn't doing the same!


lol, ya right, bc processes about 6% of there fish caught according to this news video.

fresh would be processed in canada, otherwise it is asian countries my friend. other than a few that are trying to hold on

personally the worst thing we can do as a country is outsource our own friggin jobs. just don't make sense to me.

You think it’s bad now, wait till the TPP is fully implemented. Jobs are gonna evaporate out of Canada at a tremendous rate.

The provinces can fight. But. If the feds say punch that line through. It will go. Cutting each other off I don’t believe will do anything. Notley might get a few more voters for her stance. Maybe.

There is no practical way for me to punish the moronic, granola crunching idiots that are at the heart of this ridiculous charade so I have no plans to boycott. Im letting my diesel idle right now in preparation for a trip to Valemount in the morning.

If only BC Alberta and sask could succeed. Manatoba would be there in a heart beat and the rest would follow ... Well except quebec. But that's the general idea rellyr

its all about bs politics anyways. notley needs to worry about getting re-elected and horgan needs to keep his greeny partner and all the enviro hippies happy, especially after putting site c through and pursuing lng interests. give it a bit and the feds will enforce their decision. i think these two are more worried about their jobs than any pipeline, but i don't blame you for running outside and dumping your kokanees. i'd do the same :)

this is for wild fish not farmed salmon. There are 35 processing plants in BC for farmed fish and that number hasn't changed in years since I was exporting farmed fish to Asia (all processed ready to eat).

i read something about 70% of east coast fish being caught, are shipped to china for processing then shipped back to capt highliner?

just about all alaskan fish are sent to china, taiwan, vietnam etc for processing, i would be supprised if BC wasn't doing the same!

Just plain stupid BS... All it is doing is hurting both AB and BC residents by doing what has already been posted. Lots of residents work in both provinces that are from the other province. Whats going to be next stop all veh at the border and refuse them entry?

If you're planning to boycott BC in any way then I suggest having a look at the electoral map. Boycotting the people who voted Liberal is counterproductive and hurting the people who oppose the NDP. Instead boycott the areas that support the NDP and Green party. I could be wrong as I'm no wine expert but Notley's wine boycott hurts strictly Liberal ridings and does nothing to threaten any of the NDP supporting areas, she wouldn't dare risk losing the support for her BC NDP cousins. Just my opinion.

Just left the island. Really surprised at how hard it was to find WILD salmon froze. I ended up finding it and single handedly kept the bc fishing industry in business haha. Had to though. Hard finding any thing remotely fresh in grande prairie.

Haha.........I had the same experience a few years ago. Asked a butcher at a grocery store about the lack of salmon in the display cases and his answer was, "there are two many other outlets where the locals buy salmon at reduced prices". Meaning down on the wharf and/or from the native fishermen.
