I hate to have to tell you this, but it’s looking unavoidable. Open-net pen salmon farms are going to outlast the current federal government. Going into the next election, we will have nothing to show for the promise to “transition open-net pens from BC waters” except a further promise to ban them in 2029. 

All well and good, if the party that made that promise prevails in the next election. My crystal ball is giving long odds on that happening.
