    Alexandra Morton kicks ass.

    The B.C. Supreme Court ruled Monday the federal government — not the
    province — has exclusive jurisdiction over the management of salmon
    farming, a landmark decision hailed as a victory for the future of wild
    stocks.

    “The regulation of fish farming by the province is ultra
    vires, beyond its power,” said a triumphant Greg McDade, the lawyer who
    pursued the case on behalf of independent sea-lice researcher Alexandra
    Morton and others.
