Akhenaten says Kennedy's statements are "incredible".
Yep...no point in fishing in Alberta...especially up in the Peace Country....can't eat em, might as well fish somewheres else......Nope, no point in going out to the lakes, rivers and streams around here....(Or around Grande Cache either....Oh no...really bad there....)
OHHH, now I understand what you're doing.
......I won't say a word if you promise to take me out there.
I have eaten fish from several Alberta lakes and never had a problem at all. whatever, more fish for the rest of us I guess.
I'm not defending the bozo, but as a kid growing up, the city did not recommend eating fish caught in the North Saskatchewan River. I honestly don't know if that's changed in the past couple of decades.
Well, they say that in a few cities I've been around, I think it's more to encourage fish population growth than actual health issues. I mean, considering we get warnings about mercury in tuna and salmon, it can't be that much worse...

Hmmm....take you out to those lakes that are no damn good to fish cause the fishies have three heads and you can't eat them, those places?....Oh No, can't be doing that!
The boat trailer will be hooked up the second the water becomes un-hard...

You're not going to have a problem from eating the odd fish. It's the build up of mercury that will get you, as with the Grassy Narrows reserve in Ontario.
But this isn't an Alberta problem, it's a continental problem:
and waterkeeper for Lake Ontario and secretary for Waterkeeper Alliance. "Alberta is no different." Mattson said eating freshwater fish from virtually anywhere is risky because of a variety of contaminants, particularly mercury. In Alberta, most mercury accumulations in fish appear to come from natural sources in soils and sediments, according to the government's fishing regulations. Mercury can be passed through the food chain and become concentrated in fish-eating species such as northern pike and walleye.
Maybe Kennedy should look at his own backyard and tell us just how good the fish are to eat in Massachusetts.
If Sara Palin was a cougar these two would make a perfect pair as opposites attract.
Both of them scare the hell out me that they might get elected to something important.
