Why do we give another government our money for their killing our fish in our ocean rather than raising their fish on land in closed containers?

It is being poorly done with anyone who speaks out against it being labeled as some kind of nut by government and those involved in the industry. There is money to be made so it will continue. If the wild stocks disappear will Norway be obliged to pay us? Edited by Dana, Feb 19 2016, 07:01 AM.

These are world wide entities who know no allegiance to anything but the almightly dollar/euro/sheckel/ruble/yen or renmibi. People are foolish when they start thinking of large corporations as "ours or "theirs." Like U.S. financial laws, your Canadian laws are written by and for these worldwide conglomerates. "Laying off 60 people just before Christmas?" THat is the normal way it is done. I don't know WHY but I have seen that timing repeated SO often that I kinow it cannot be coincidence. (A skeptic would dsay it is to avoid paing for two holidays which might mean 3 days pay saved by the Legree Corp.) Edited by Trotsky, Feb 20 2016, 02:35 AM.

Here the actual stat days are Christmas Day and the day after and New Years Day and the day after, but most businesses close down for the entire time between and holiday pay is paid for that period.

That's a part of what we call the work-life balance. Work-life balance in New Zealand Work-life balance is about effectively managing the juggling act between paid work and other activities that are important to us - including spending time with family, taking part in sport and recreation, volunteering or undertaking further study. Research suggests that improving the balance between our working lives and our lives outside work can bring real benefits for employers and employees. It can help build strong communities and productive businesses. If you are looking for ways to introduce and manage work-life balance in your organisation take a look at making it work for your business, practical ideas for small businesses and case studies.
