In The Case of the Missing Sea Lice, an op-ed published in The Financial Post on June 1, I reported that according to internet archives, the David Suzuki Foundation removed 23 press releases and web-pages about salmon farming. Of these, 14 press releases and web-pages were last registered in internet archives on Feb. 3, 2010. Two more were last archived on the next day, for a total of 16 press releases and web-pages that have not been archived at the David Suzuki Foundation's website, since February of 2010.
Feb.3, 2010 is the same day that I posted at my blog, an open letter to Dr. Suzuki. In that letter, I asked Dr. Suzuki whether he and his foundation had, in essence, manufactured the salmon farming controversy in order to please the foundation's pro-Alaskan, American funders - who have funded the foundation to the tune of $US 10 million since the late 1990s.
In an article published yesterday on the foundation's web-site, the CEO of the David Suzuki Foundation disagrees that it intentionally removed web-content that was specific to salmon farming.
