]]> Comment on Restore Canada – reject Harperland by Judyth Mermelstein http://www.priscillajudd.ca/thexpress/?p=4501&cpage=1#comment-358 Judyth Mermelstein Mon, 14 May 2012 05:51:51 +0000 http://www.priscillajudd.ca/thexpress/?p=4501#comment-358 Please bear in mind that the Canadian people have entrusted you with the powers of government so that you may act in the interests of *all* Canadians and the longterm wellbeing of the nation. To that end, please consider withdrawing the very complex and contentious Bill C-38 so as to divide it into separate bills, subject to the scrutiny of the appropriate parliamentary standing committees and a full and fair discussion in Parliament.

I will never forget it ever - not till the day I die. I am one of the privileged to see such an amazing feat of nature... I will keep on doing my small part in the the International campaign to save our wild salmon, the ocean and with the ocean our planet - since every second breath comes from the ocean. There are some great leaders doing great things in this campaign. Please check them out and support them 100.000 voices for wild salmon might indeed make the difference. Thanks for your support. <a href="http://salmonaresacred.org" rel="nofollow">www.salmonaresacred.org</a> <a href="www.salmonguy.org " rel="nofollow">www.salmonguy.org </a> Hi Julie,

I was just a young girl back then but I remember being amazed by their number and how strong and fast they were. I'm not too crazy about salmon but good job in doing your best to save them. -Julie Hi Priscilla,

In all my 27 years, I’ve only seen a salmon run once, in Idaho. I was just a young girl back then but I remember being amazed by their number and how strong and fast they were. I’m not too crazy about salmon but good job in doing your best to save them.

As it happened Janet Green sat on that Council and I don't remember Ms Green telling everyone in the Village that their water rates were being hiked! "No one said a word" because Ms Green was busy promoting a different conflict in Lumby - that time it was over a prison. Personally I believe Ms Green has had her share of Lumby's attention. Ms Turrell was able to be at the meeting - she could have spoken for herself.
