Double standards continue!!!

[Weatherby Fan]

For the last 40 or so years they have been shooting what they want when they want and with the lack of government support in this Province for Wildlife enhancement we are seeing the terrible results in the lack of animals in this province, throw in the lack of predator control and you have the perfect storm

somewhere along the lines we will have to fight back or have nothing at all for our future generations to hunt.......

Thats the trouble A.L. if we say anything we're "racist white privileged trash" regardless of how wrong the situation is, I really don't know what, where or how to begin as a tax paying citizen, We all know NOT ONE POLITICIAN will say what needs to be said.

If you haven't already, have a read of the BC Together for Wildlife Strategy, as well as look who is on the Council.

Then embrace the label and press our rights. Appeasement and good faith have come to naught.

This is the same fight that is being played out over the Salmon Allocation Policy (SAP) only with fish.

The Salmon Allocation Policy "SAP"
a) This policy is being totally rewritten after the Ahowsat decision for a "native commercial fishery for five native bands off the west coast of Vancouver Island" in a completely biased policy that does not recognize you the non-native public. This may get me called racist but it is anything but. DFO does not represent us as the public, the politicians only want re-election and to look like they care and the native bands obviously represent themselves, we need to be involved.
b) The federal government is including "UNDRIP" in this new policy even though it is not Canadian law.

The terms of reference are being rewritten by a committee chaired jointly by DFO representing the Federal Government and the Native bands and the Native bands obviously representing themselves. No one is at the table representing the non-native Canadians.

The Fraser River fishery and the Fraser River Sportfishing Alliance.
a) This is a group of dedicated people working to returning this fishery to its previous glory for future generations. The provincial BCWF had staff attend and monitor these meetings but that was where it stopped, (that is my understanding). This is predominantly a Region 2 fishery and Region 2 BCWF is now at the table. This is our public fishery, be it bar fishing, fly fishing, bottom bouncing or any other method you prefer, this is where the public fishery in the Fraser River is being fought for. This is not a fight between sectors, native rights vs. non native, but the battle to get recognition for the public fishery and fight for the recovery of the fish stocks.
b) This is your fishery and the fight includes you. There is a go fund me account set up for all to help, this is not looking for big dollar donations but for what you can afford. Be it $10 or $20 dollars or more it is your fishery and not the time to let others carry the load, GET INVOLVED!

This is not a fight between sectors but between us, the public fishery and the politicians who are DFO's task masters.

I spent about 10 years working with the native bands here in the Fraser Valley as the Fraser River Peacemakers and have found that that was the one way that DFO could not play the sectors against each other.

As for this particular case:
From one side there is a respect to those CO and RCMP in Okanagan but from another side they have limited power to the North of Smithers and even afraid to approach the FN when they hunt or blocking roads.

Can I “identify” as a status Indian? Hahaha

A bit of a read, however well documents the illegal (recognized) activity of the FN's once that racially based commercial fishery was put in place (see Section X Enforcement & Compliance Concerns page 21 forward).
