Dougill, Ashleigh
On August 19, 2017, a net-pen fish farm belonging to international fishing company Cooke Aquaculture collapsed. The collapse released as many as 263,000 non-native Atlantic salmon into the Puget Sound, which significantly affected the surrounding environment and beyond. In the months that followed, the state of Washington and the province of British Columbia (B.C.)—the two most directly affected regions in the Pacific Northwest—responded both legally and politically. Although the collapse had similar ecological and environmental impacts on Washington and B.C., each region’s differing legal responses directly affected its ability to mitigate future fish spills.3

Daigle, Suzanne K.
Recreational cannabis’s recent spike in popularity necessitates cannabis law reform, especially in regard to cannabis banking services—in both the United States and Canada. Canada’s legalization of recreational cannabis could help inspire cannabis law reform at the federal level in the United States, thereby increasing cannabis business (cannabusiness) owners’ access to reliable banking options in both countries. This Article examines how the legal, regulatory framework for providing banking services for cannabusinesses in Oregon and Canada prevents legitimate cannabusinesses from thriving and suggests future possibilities for improving the existing framework.
