Canada is alright with PNW salmon farming, but the US is not. The biggest concern is protecting the native salmon runs, especially against the risks of disease, drugs, and general filth building up in the farms and contaminating things.

Canadians are NOT alright with this practice. Corporations from Norway have industrial pens of Atlantic salmon in Pacific waters within Canada. This is not just a concern, the items you list are problems today, as well as pollution from the pens, and over-fishing of traditional stocks to provide feed for the farmed fish.

Without the public's knowledge because these deals and the details within these documents that are being signed are kept secret, and without the consent of most Canadians, politicians in Canada have signed off on foreign corporations extracting resources and exporting profits from Canada -- and if we try to stop you, you can sue our government and collect even more money.
