"Who gets to catch the last salmon? If we have to ask that question, we have failed."

"70 per cent of B.C. salmon populations are in decline. Aggressive forestry leads to landslides and flooding. Poorly regulated mines pollute waters. The federal government recently passed legislation that can fast-track major projects and bypass environmental assessments, and are also talking of more pipelines. Continued inaction to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is making the ocean increasingly inhospitably warm for salmon."
