I’ve had the chance to speak with the CBC and CJNR radio stations on the north coast of BC. The current topic involves the Department of Fisheries and Oceans monitoring a facebook exchange/trade page and then arresting one of the people who posted to it and confiscating their harvest.
The CBC interview was Thursday January 14, 2016
The CJNR interview was posted online January 12, 2016. You can go to the story here.

Liquid ‘Natural’ Gas (LNG) production and export is a major issue that touches all the hot buttons: environment, jobs, money, First Nations, and provincial elections.
