Global Alliance Against Industrial Aquaculture

Staniford Dept: VANCOUVER - Only days after he was removed from Canada for overstaying a visitor's permit, a controversial salmon-farming critic says he has settled in Norway to "slay the dragon in its own lair.", according to Winnipeg Free Press. But supporters see him as a tireless critic and Staniford is promising to take his battle against the industry to Europe, where he'll serve as the global campaign co-ordinator for another environmental group and don Staniford, of The Global Alliance Against Industrial Aquaculture, poses for a photograph in Vancouver. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck Since 2005, British-born activist Don Staniford has been a divisive force in British Columbia's ongoing salmon-farming debate. He has been accused by the industry of going beyond rational dialogue and distorting facts and has twice been sued by B.C. companies for defamation. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
