Draconian Fisheries Closures

[IronNoggin]

Two more, week long FN openings for Chinook just granted on the Fraser.

Brings us to a total of a dozen openings for them since taking pretty well everyone else off the water...

DFO.

what is the rational behind it?

Reconciliation & UNDRIP are what the government spews while doing this.
In actuality, it is an appeasement of sorts to try and win back pissed off FN votes.
And it will not work.

Simply makes a running joke of all the minister's bleatings regarding "conservation".

This is complete and utter bullshit!

[ratherbefishin]

How about an opening for the rest of us? I would certainly like some ‘truth’ and ‘reconciliation’ for the way they completely blew our Chinook by doing NOTHING

Now up to SIXTEEN Openings. This time the Lower. The 24 hour canyon opening will be nothing short of a slaughter.

Someone needs to head down there, film it, ask some questions about sustainability and responsibility and put it on social media..

Likely pretty bloody dangerous methinks.

Just posted this on Wilkinson's FB Page:

Hasn't even been a month, yet SIXTEEN openings you have let, many of them a week's long duration, on the most endangered runs of Chinook the Fraser has??!! That works out to nets in the water more often than not since you told us all that was the EXACT reason you were forcing everyone else off the water!? You are indeed "rising the bar" as you so eloquently put it. In the highest achievable level of HYPOCRISY possible that is. :-

Make that SEVENTEEN (see previous link above) as another canyon 24 hour opening was just announced.


Starting to get the gist of this bullshit yet?
