The Salmon People podcast – the Game Changer
EPISODE 4: The salmon had been returning to the Fraser River for hundreds of years. In 2009, they didn’t. Or barely did. Nine million sockeye salmon were missing. Stephen Harper, prime minister at the time, was not a man known for promoting science, but the catastrophic loss forced him to call an inquiry. For the first time, there would be money, time and people testifying under oath about events leading to the disappearance of the wild salmon.
The Salmon People podcast is a co-production between award-winning journalist Sandra Bartlett and Canada\’s National Observer.
