Rafe's most recent column for _The Tyee_: "NDP Is Right to Call for
Sockeye Inquiry"
Excerpt: "The sockeye situation is ludicrous. We know they're gone but
we don't know all the reasons. However, we do know one reason -- the
migrating sockeye smolts (salmon babies) must run the gauntlet of the
Broughton Archipelago fish farms, and the sea lice from those cages
kill them. But fish farmers are contributors to the pockets of both
governments. And the claims of independent scientists are ignored."
