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.
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.
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:
$1:
"It's a major concern right across North Ameri c a," said Mark Mattson, president
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.
