Good for Captain Kirk:
Actor lectures reporters at NDP news conference about the importance of the fish to B.C. ecosystem
Gloria Galloway Ottawa— From Friday's Globe and Mail
As Captain Kirk, he often lectured his crew to respect life and not to take things for granted. So it seemed appropriate, if a tad surreal, to hear William Shatner lecture reporters on the importance of salmon to British Columbia's ecosystem.
"Salmon feed and nurture not only the animals that are on the land but the sea as well, and the plants and trees and shrubbery," the 79-year-old actor's disembodied voice told a news conference Thursday that had been organized by the New Democrats.
"The fauna and the flora of the British Columbia river shores and rivers are nurtured by the salmon. Without the salmon, they die. And when they die, [there is] a huge rent in the tapestry of nature in that area. It is a basic species that must be saved."

Yeah, we BC people love it when old Ontario actors lecture us on how to make a living in remote areas after taking advice from left-wing enviro activists who have admitted that don't feel any compunction about telling the truth when they just "know" they are right. Who cares about facts like there is no reliable independent science showing fish farming is harmful? But please Mr. Shatner, tell us what do YOU think about salmon farming?
Fascinating..
