Canadians NEED to be "less Canadian" about a LOT of things going on in this country!
Too late
Conservatives support salmon farming! Don't support them!
I have NEVER agreed with growing Atlantic Salmon in the PACIFIC ocean!!!!! Why the hell are you doing this !!!! STOP IT. No apology needed!! Just fricken stop it.
They tried that with lobster years ago but the dumbnuts forgot to remove the elastics from the claws and they couldn’t feed themselves so they all died.
@@kevinleblanc8279 Most salmon don't require elastic bands.
Lol. Love it. I’ve been a diver on those “farms”. The fish are sickly and I wouldn’t indulge in one even if I was desperate. And why should myself as a BC taxpayer supporting foreign corporations like Stolt? They were booted out of Norway for the same reasons that are causing problems in our sheltered seacoast. Viruses, lice, excrement buildup in the tidal zone
Norway has many farms. You can Google
@@shaylafied and they have the same issues. Harper and then premier Clarke exacerbated the problem by allowing unfettered expansion of these feedlots with no oversight or environmental protection
@@adrianpoesiat Literally no oversight.
@@shaylafied They have different practices and their disease monitoring is much better. Not to mention the impact on the Wild Pacific Salmon stocks. The Canadian government already dropped the ball on East Coast Fisheries.
Don’t support the sale of salmon in grocery stores like the Harper government did and then silenced scientists.
@@adrianpoesiat Exactly. And silenced the scientist. They were banned even from testing wild stocks in Canada. They had to send samples to Europe, while diseased Atlantic farmed salmon was being sold in grocery stores.
Get rid of those lice farms
Absolutely!
William Shatner is amazing let’s not forget he’s 93 years old.
...and STILL goin' like a locomotive! He powered by Energizer™ up his butt or what?
@@user-wg2vw3mz1vWeed
He also REALLY went to space. Just once.
93 and he is right!
Put that kind of auxillary power up your phaser bank and you'll ve fightin' ready in no time!
Facken-Eh. Time to stop the insanity and shut the down the open-net salmon farms. It's damage to the natural salmon is brutal.
Time to stop the insanity and shut down pesticide and spray chemical companies. Its damage to life is brutal!
What damage?
@@jasonkiomall-xh2wx I'm not going to do your lazy-butt research for you.
I've seen it when I lived there.
Tell everyone that you’re deliberately uninformed.
@@TobiasC-mg4zk Who are you replying to?
We stopped buying salmon when all we can get is farmed salmon! The taste is not the same… terrible actually!
What are you talking about. Grocery stores sell wild caught salmon everywhere.
@@alextaylor8776 Do they sell fresh wild Pacific salmon?
@@Ketowski I’m sure they do here in Canada.
@@alextaylor8776 Why so snarky? Maybe in your world!
@@alextaylor8776 you’re “sure” they do!! I thought you said they sold wild caught everywhere! Know before saying!
"Dammit Jim....those colorful metaphors "
Not Canadian spelling!
*colourful
@@mallinen0777 👍🏻👍🏻
i heard from a bunch of workers at the Seaspan docs in Nanaimo that a few weeks ago a farm in Nootka sound had a complete die off of over 2.2 million pounds of Salamon, this was the result of 'a low oxygen enviroment due to a change in currents in the sound'. They sucked up all the dead fish and were taking it to a rendering plant at Duke point, tranfering the dead fish from the trawlers to the plant using hydro-vac trucks. over 5 trawlers full. I cant beleive this was not reported on.
MMMmmmm corporate "food" product.
@@brycedery9596 food-like product
Probably turned into pet food.
@@saintejeannedarc9460 those poor cats do not get a choice in their diet. Clay
We gotta stop this Canadian is nice nonsense. Not true.
It used to be. Before the internet algorithms. Aside from hockey and soldiers.
Yeah we are real badass..
Rude and insulting? Because they are telling the truth? Nobody likes to hear the truth especially when it is pointed at them. If the shoe fits folks…if the shoe fits.
You can speak the truth without being vulgar.
Calling out greed isn't nice? Oh no 😮
William Shattner's net worth? $100 million. Him and his Hollywood buddies should buy all these fish farms and shut them down if it's THAT important to them. No?
30 billion in JT pocket eh not greedy
Can anyone afford wild salmon?
@@MrMasterman6969 huh?
@@sommebuddy I can. But I work hard. Most folks seem to have forgot what this means. Thanks.
I'm Canadian and I approve this message. All the way Bill! ❤
Only he could get away with it. Bravo Captain Kirk. Salmon fish farms are a threat to our wild salmon populations.
How?
@@MgtowRubicon Spreading infectious diseases and sea lice to wild salmon.
@@MgtowRubicondo a small iota of research, Atlantic salmon are disease ridden who are destroying pacific salmon.
@@MgtowRubicon🙄
You tell 'em, Bill.
He’s right. Canadians are generally polite and kind but we’re angry. Why won’t Public Officials listen to the Pubic? Those farms should already be gone.
Real Fish _DON"T_ Eat pellets!
@mikeymike758
pellets ! stuffed with antibiotics !?
Why?
Did come some fish asking for medical help ?
Got it
But you still eat modified everything else.
@@jasonkiomall-xh2wx Most commenting on here don’t.
@@jasonkiomall-xh2wx
They eat whatever i give them! No desert until they eat all of their pellets!
Salmon farming is rude and brutal.
Rude and brutalized feels your wallet when you have to pay twice as much for wild salmon.
Eating lead paint chips is cheaper than eating organic. It’s better for your wallet too. Therefore we should eat lead paint chips and add it to baby food.
Farmed or not I can’t afford them anyway
Seen the price of canned salmon? Its dirt cheap. Because its dirt.
Someone got a fat paycheck for reading some pre-written lines.
So? He's well-known worldwide and this ad by him may actually enact change.
You will address him as Captain. A solid 93 years old sir
He's not wrong though
I couldn’t agree more with the Kirks! Bravo! I never buy farmed salmon.
*Thats not responsible fish farming.* You go Canadians eh, give them heck!
KHAAAAAANNN't you please stop the salmon farming, eh?
"I canna do it captain, we have not got the power"
LOL! This is the news I like. Go Jim!
Gov leaves farm open because they invested in them 😮
I love salmon. I buy fresh, wild salmon when possible and wild canned salmon in a pinch. I will never buy farmed salmon. Ever!
Is eating them saving them?
@@shaylafied if the thing is dead and in a package already does it matter whether someone eats it or it goes in the trash? It's already dead and in a package.
@@shaylafied Potentially. It's about sustainability and reducing environmental impact.
@@karenshaw7807 ya, exactly like farming. We can't reply on wild harvest. I work at a hatchery.
You want farmed salmon, put them in a farm, as in, on land. ANd have the tanks be maintained at least as well as the poorly regulated animal husbandry industry.
In switzerland ALL animals have to be allowed outside and exercised daily.
Nobody with any taste buds eat that crud twice.
Rude and insulting? Fackafff!
Atta go Captain !
Norway knows all too well about farmed fish and so does Canada but no one does much
Norway is required to put "eat at your own risk" warnings on their farmed fish. The food they feed the fish is toxic.
bill the canuck has been living in L A for 60+ years. there's a lot more drama in his country of choice that he should be more concerned about.
Fish farming is nasty and why i do not eat fish. I miss fish. They die them pink to look like normal salmon because the fish meat is grey.
Did you swear off grammar class also?
@@justsayin5609ahh yes, when there is no meaningful responce drag in their grammer
fish processors do not directly dye the meat of fish. Instead, they rely on methods like diet supplementation with natural pigments, as well as other processes that enhance or preserve the natural coloration of the fish. Specifically:
Diet Supplementation: In farmed fish like salmon, processors use feed that contains natural pigments like astaxanthin and canthaxanthin. These pigments are found in the diet of wild fish and help maintain the pink or reddish color that consumers expect.
Smoking and Curing: These methods can enhance the natural color of the fish. Smoking, for example, can give fish a more vibrant hue due to the chemical reactions that occur during the process.
Packaging and Lighting: Techniques like modified atmosphere packaging and specific lighting in display cases can help preserve and enhance the natural color of the fish without the need for dyes.
Directly dyeing the meat is generally not a common practice, especially given regulations and consumer preferences for natural and minimally processed foods.
So let's stop fish farming, drastically decrease salmon supply, prices will sky-rocket even more and common folks will simply stop eating salmon. A very sound strategy. Oh, and did I mention that wild salmon would go they way of the dodo?
That's true. Also farmed fish have higher fat content because they aren't swimming in the open ocean.
When is the last time Shatner lived in Canada ?
Way to go Bill!
Get those pens out of the Sea!
Now!
Perfect infomercial, funny and informative. Love it.
I don't eat farmed fish....
Definitely something fishy going on there.
Do you think greedy ceo's are polite... some times you gotta speak their language.
I can't help forseeing this will lead to even higher foods costs for our country...
We have bigger fish to fry.
😂😂 we do.
yes , its the fish species known as invasive asian trudeau carp and the always detested species , the snakeheadfreeland !!
Afraid to try the farmed salmon as I might get hooked…..
Shatner is right to condemn these farms. I wish the BC government would listen.
I enjoy farmed salmon. Consumers will decide if the industry survives. If it's not one thing you don't like you move on to the next target. GFY activists.
Your lack of critical thinking is astounding.
@bullcrap9409 lol, you won't be eating wild salmon either. Because the price will be doubling after this.
@@saltymonkey8874 So what? Eat something else. There's plenty of other fish in the sea -- uh, maybe not the best cliche to use!
well we love salmon wild or farmed and my doggy eats fish so goaway star freak
Thank you captain(S) we know fish farms are bad for the environment and wild salmon
They are reporting a massive die off because of lice and low oxygen as we speak. Local fish could be in the area.
Seems pretty corrupt to me. The industry/ political mix… not the ad.
They’ve known for decades that these farms were a bad idea after they were removed in Norway but I’m sure a crooked bureaucrat took money to look the other way. I scuba dived on a salmon farm on the inside passage once and haven’t eaten farmed seafood since.
I refuse to buy farmed salmon or any farmed fish! These farms need to be closed by the original date 2025!
I won't buy it either.
Farmed salmon is ... not salmon.
Not only are they not as nutritional....but they cost just as much...they grow five times as fast on just one third the food!!!! Think about it.
Are they labeled as such when it reached the stores?
@@YYC403NOYPWild fish is usually clearly labeled as such. If it's not labelled as wild then I assume it's farmed.
Love it!!!
we must protect this traditional fishing technique
Wait, I thought William Shatner died a few years ago? 🤦♀
Follow the money.
I would argue you aren’t speaking canadian if there aren’t curse words peppered in. What we have been known for since ww1
With the LEAST population and we still known
Rivers are also poisoned by Companies. Better safety regulations are required.
There is a huge billboard in our city "Go wild for farmed salmon". I wouldnt touch that with Captain Kirks stick.
couldnt he get scotty to beam up the fish??
Do not buy Atlantic Salmon, it's farmed😢
We kayaked to a salmon farm when we were in the Broughton Archipelago. They are slammed in there. Gross.
June 30 2024 sounds better than 2029 .... yeeesh .. drag it out
Let’s not forget, he endorsed Trudeau
Noooooo!!!! 😢
Let's not forget - Conservatives endorse salmon farming!
I mean the farms could be better tended and filtered so the fish are both healthy and clean but the pens are disgusting and fish look unhealthy
Anyone who works at these farms knows not to eat the fish.
That baby shooting the bird 🤣
I dont want my cat food prices to go up!
Get the farms out of the ocean
I bet we've eaten way more farmed salmon than we think... sushi restaurants... 😂😂😂 dont think to ask if its wild there do ya?
I ask.
Inventing and breeding Salmon that is genetically crossed with eels isn’t kosher with me
Greedy corporations it is all about profit they don’t care damage they cause to humans nor environment.
You'd think he saw a salmon pen out on the wing or something...
When wild caught salmon is on the menu at a restaurant, how can we tell it really is wild vs. farm raised?
Beam me up Scotty. I canno' Cap'n, the whole crew fell ill after eating salmon farm salmon.
"rude and insulting" HAHAHA ...that is the point .. they are bad news all around for the Salmon, the waters, humans, etc. Someone's gotta do it so kudos to drawing attention to it.
Because the Shat's the only Shat who knows where it's at
Sometimes I still can not get over the fact that "Captain Kirk" and "Scotty" are Canadian. How Cool is that!!!
If Kirk is mad, you better pay attention.
Well Captain Kirk just made a fool of himself.
He's at that age, and he'll get away with it. Let's not confuse his fictional character, with the actual lunatic that played him.
Ya not ............ he stood up for what is right. Maybe your fool for saying this!
"Who da cap fits - let them wear it" - Marley Will not consume farmed salmon on a boat, with a goat, with George Takei or Sugar Ray (the boxer and/or the band - even if they are buying). Nice work Bill - it's not like this is a new issue - been going on forever.
Even Spock can see the logic in this ;) .
Nobody wants to buy this gross salmon. Poor unhappy diseased fish. What an ecological disaster. Why did we even say this was ok?
I was looking for a news agency to ‘report’ the news, not trying to influence how I think about it. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 Why are you trying to influence my feelings?!?!?
Then look for other articles or videos. There are plenty of them about the issue. It’s been reported on for a decade or more.
@@Ketowski another one who doesn’t get it. Why are you trying to influence how I feel?
They seemed to just be reporting this one.
It poisons wild salmon and destroys their numbers.
William Shatner is a elder you should respect him and listen to him Canada
Well....he's right
Can you stand up for other species as well. As a Canadian, i think it is beyond fantastic you are speaking up!!!!!!!
Shatner has shat.
Never buy 'Farmed Salmon'. Never..... !
Shatner for PM
Get real!!
I have a funky pet coho I walk daily. I call him Salmon Dave.
Why Canada doesn’t have inland fish farms, I don’t know. Easy solution, you’d think.
Try getting a permit to build anything in Canada. There's 17 layers of bureaucracy to navigate.
Pleading ignorance here. How are these aqua farms detrimental to the environment? They seem to work really well in Japan afaik
They’re not. Environmentalists just want to shut everything down. Especially meat production.
😂 I think it’s great !
I wouldn’t feed that to my dogs
Salmon farming on BC coast will be the end of the pacific salmon.
He's been passionate about salmon since taking Alan Shore up to Nemo Bay to go fishing.
Canadians don't swear? The Canadians I've worked with for 10 years certainly do!
All 1st world countries should invest heavily in hatcheries. The necessary investment would pale in comparison to other expenditures. Put back what humans take. Like planting trees after logging. "It's complicated...." no, not really.
Farm the fish in pools on land and filter the recycle the water.
The technology is there.
But they won’t because it costs money
Sorry Captain, but the world must be fed.
wrong. Disease and selective farming will destroy the food chain, ending up with less food in the longer term. You're a noob in this subject
Why does modern farming always have to ruin everything? Why can’t we have better standards for our farms and farmed animals? Why is it always either cheap crap or nothing at all? If the standards are better, the quality will be better, the price might be higher but there will be more nutrients in the food and less waste, ppl have to actually appreciate the food and not waste it!!
Modern farming ruins everything because of GREED, GREED and GREED.
Wetiko - it's the same reason for most of humanities problems now.
93 and fit-fit.
(He probably never ate farmed fish)
He can afford eating wild salmon. How many Canadians can?
Is this considered isalmonphobia? Are hate crimes investigating this ad?😂
