Try coming at it from the perspective of having your employment yanked out from under you to cater to this BS!
Victor says salmon was once so abundant, there would be three or four fish barbeques in the community every weekend throughout summer.
And they wonder where the fish went??
“I can tell you, our value on the fish is much more than any recreational or commercial fish they catch,” he said.
So the fish sold roadside out of the back of a truck is more valuable than troll or recreational caught? Really??
But if they catch one fish that’s Fraser-bound, that’s enough. You compromise the constitutional priority, in my mind.”
Locked down the entire South Coast damn near, while recognizing the majority of those fisheries had no impact.
Under threat that they would fish the stocks of concern into extinction should they not get their way.
And now whine for even more...
Victor says that to uphold constitutional priority, DFO shouldn’t allow any fisheries, catch-and-release or otherwise, until after Indigenous fisheries have theirs.
He also says that Canada should consider giving control of commercial fishing to Indigenous Peoples, who have fished the same populations for millennia.
Bottom Line: We want it
ALL, and we want it
