First Nations, governments agree to bring salmon back to Upper Columbia River - Haida Gwaii Observer

The three-year commitment is being described as ‘historic’

July 10 2019 | Salmon, once abundant up the entire Columbia River system, have been blocked from their traditional migration routes for 80 years since the introduction of dams to the system downstream in Washington State. The loss of the salmon run devastated Indigenous communities upstream that relied on the fish as a food source and cultural touchstone.

“This was the essence of our culture and life that kept us healthy, not only physically but was the bond of our communities,” said Shuswap Indian Band Chief Barb Cote. “Today we have a duty to make sure the waters are healthy, so when the salmon return they will be able to reproduce and give us the sustenance that is crucial to our future generations.”

A few thoughts on the inflation narrative

As of Jan. 2016 the US and Canada are experiencing 2% core inflation. We know that currency has an impact on inflation. We only have to look at Canada to see that higher inflation is caused by the lower value of the loonie. Just for fun does this work in reverse; does a higher currency lead to lower inflation? What would one say about the credibility of this theory if in a real time test it is proven to be wrong? For example how has the higher US currency affected US inflation? We all know the US must have a lower rate, right? Is this another example of Senior Fellows providing a hypothesis when it is consistent with the credible acceptable narrative but simply ignoring facts were the theory doesn't hold up in the real world? This conundrum would all be solved if there were greater profits for resource companies.

Harper defends push for TPP deal despite looming election

Protest by hundreds of dairy farmers provides preview of possible political backlash if agreement reached

“If they bring in so much milk from the States, our Canadian market will be flooded pretty easily … it’s stressful to think that the government will sell us out to the Americans,” said Chris Ryan, who was protesting in Ottawa with his cow, Ninja.

We all know how much farmers love Harper.  This could be a turning point for some ridings.
