    Re: Draconian Fisheries Closures

    Ethics take a back seat to cheap fish or meat...FN are supplying a market demand and its as simple as that. The feds could set up a sting ,but they don’t have the political will to do it. Easier to turn a blind eye and talk about ‘truth and reconciliation’ Unfortionately all this creates a backlash against FN who do not act this way

    The answer is "I'm taking my football and going home"?

    neither of these help......
    His soap box and there "taking the football home"

    he is pissing of possible support, they are taking valuable knowledge and help away........

    Answer to it all?
    a damned organisation like we all thought BCWF was to stand up and mobilize us...... individual we all do this.... What do we have now? We have a half dozen small organizations that are trying to build so they can do something.....
    but no one knows about them, who they are... if they can trust them....
    That is exactly what the soap box stander needs to do and that is a half near impossible task because it involves more money than anyone has..... And that is why I think the BCWF totally dropped the ball. They should have changed their "mantra" and stepped up to that plate.... but instead we had "The resident hunter" issue.... then the " change of the guard" Scandle...... and now 50% of the trust is gone....... Just like the fish....

    Everyone knows the BCWF, they have a board stood up already... they have a bank account already.....I bet most people would jump right back behind them if they actually became a "Spear" and not a bystander....
    but what do I know.... I have no volunteer experience...... but F uck... I have killed more fish than many people ever have or will..... So there is that

    Who the hell mentioned ANYTHING about stepping away?
    Certainly NOT myself, nor a great many of my Buddies who are directly affected by this bullshit.
    In fact, we are ramping up our efforts immensely, and are going full on to ensure these bassturds pay in full at the polls this fall.
    And we are already in discussions with those we expect to replace them...

    So, beyond holding another self back-patting dinner and belittling potential allies via social media, WTF else are YOU personally contributing??
    Nice divisive tactic. By any chance do you work for the department? Your rants might suggest so...

    First time in his entire reign I have heard anything I can agree with slip out of Horgan's yap:

    “Their livelihoods are now compromised because of these decisions and I know the federal government understands that,” Horgan told CTV. He went on to say, “I would love to see a compensation package for those that are being adversely affected but at this point I haven't seen that.”

    https://bc.ctvnews.ca/plan-to-help-c...rmen-1.4392094

    Doesn't mean I will ever change my mind and vote for him, but I do find it interesting that a Lefty actually Gets It.

    BTW: The Feds are ducking and running as hard as they can from any thoughts or considerations of compensation. While they quite often immediately jump to the aid of those their gross incompetence pushes off fisheries in the east, out here we are simply collateral damage.

    In another turn, certain well placed academics at UBC are now calling for whales to be granted the dame rights as humans.
    I kid you not:

    Scientists and environmental lawyers agree that whales need the legal rights of personhood to give them a voice in courts and legislatures, and to secure their continued survival and well being.

    Steve Rinella commented how we have a hierarchy of animals, people have talked about doing all sorts of things to bring back salmon numbers including killing seals but no ones talked about killing a few whales lol

    Whales as people, interesting concept.
    Might be supportable if their rights Trumped Fn .
    The transients could ease our overburdened cabinet by holding meetings in the pool, when it came to all in favour time the transients could eat who ever pissed them off!

    Re: Draconian Fisheries Closures

    If only Liberals were an endangered species,they sure aren’t starving ,that’s for sure....the tough part about all this is,there’s really nothing we can do.The Government holds all the cards and they can do what they darn well please... we can rant and rave all we want but if Trudeau decides to shut down the whole fishery and give to the FN* he can do it.Personally, I think that’s his agenda anyway, costs him nothing ,it’s no skin off his backside and he gets a photo op with his smiling face out of it for ‘Truth and Reconciliation’ .Does the rest of Canada care if I can’t go salmon fishing?give your head a shake, I doubt it....
    * and yeah,I got FN blood in me too,I have adopted several FN kids and my FN son refuses to go hunting anymore because his relatives were convicted of killing cow elk just before they calved,he said ‘if that’s what they do,I want nothing to do with it and I don’t want people thinking I do that stuff if they see me carrying a rifle’...he never went hunting with me again..

    Your son is a fine young man, maybe he should lead by example and still enjoy what are his and our rights.
