"According to MacDuffee, one of the most important things cabinet could do to protect the whales would be to change the minimum-approach distance for small recreational vessels to 1,000 metres, to match U.S. laws passed last year. "


are they honestly saying a bubble approach is now what they want after lobbying for area sanctuary's.

i cant even with these people
 
Just a distraction to the real objective. Raincoast has made it perfectly clear it's position in last 6 months:

From a recent article at same timing of lawsuit:

Ask an old time fisherman about Chinook salmon today and they will tell you stories about the size of these fish in the past. Nowadays, Chinook are much younger and smaller than a century ago. While several factors are at play, one reason for this is ocean fishing. Unlike other salmon, Chinook can feed and grow in local waters where they can be caught while they are still growing, sometimes years before they would migrate home. However, moving fisheries from the ocean to rivers can allow big, old Chinook to recover. An increase in their size benefits the fish, terminal fishers, and hungry killer whales that eat Chinook.

God! So tiring hearing all the BS constantly being pushed by certain ENGOs & their shrills. Hard to even know where to start in any rebuttal.
 
If many of the chinook are now mostly 3 and 4 year spawners and with not many 5 or more year fish left...... l don't follow the logic of them getting any bigger. As AA said it'd hard to start. A good reminder that Most ENGOs are not recreation anglers friends.

I don't know if there's a better bullshitter than MacDuffee! I guess this is how you keep the donations going.
 
Sad and unfortunate that DFO wont support the Sooke Net Pen so no net pen this year, think this was a great idea .Feel bad for the hard working people that have put so much of there energy into the pens inspite of incompent political decicions.. those are the real core volunteers
 
Not enough food still?
Then a bigger pinniped cull, that would have immediate results.

I thought there was an independent UBC study on this. Not paid for by any self interest group.

Are any of these groups going to sue FF's for polluting vast areas of ocean? They even admitted to killing herring, damaging the food chain.

It's called making-up a cause to get money from little ol ladies with too many cats, and from men with manbuns and 's' size jacks shirts getting a latte in Starbucks. Steps include:

1/ Seeing an opportunity to identify a cause;
2/ Use the CBC & Tyee and other reactionary left-leaning news sources to spin tales of death & destruction (AKA fire & brimstone in earlier times);
3/ Tell everyone you have the answer and it's simple only if you just believe me;
4/ Set-up a shell NFP ENGO with tax-deductions;
5/ Get ahold of David Suzuki's daughter and pitch your campaign to be covered on the Nature of Things;
6/ Set up a donations page on your website & distribute to your email list & social media;
7/ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
