Fantastic documentary. Thanks for sharing. Maybe also post in leftist/liberal Canadian subreddits like r/onguardforthee r/CanadaLeft?
Some updates -
So the website has a slightly longer version of the documentary. It includes clips the Vancouver Aquarium had tried to remove from the documentary.
Feb 2018 - CAN bans capture, import of cetaceans
Green MP Elizabeth May also wanted investigation into Marineland and VA as failing to register as lobbyists wrt. their outreach to Con. senators.
Monterey Bay Aquarium was mentioned near the end in contrast to Vancouver Aquarium and others as a great model for combining animal welfare and research. Here's their channel and the channel of their research institute. In addition, here is a cool video about the aquarium. And a couple (1 , 2) of SciShow videos they helped make. Finally, a video about Mola mola.
