Interesting Developments Alberni Sockeye & FN's

[cheech]

On the news last night they were saying that FN had no right to sell fish and that it was fine-able with $5k. $10k second offense. Now is that on the res? or if FN is peddling fish off the res??
Driving through the res it is pretty hard to NOT SEE what is going on. IS DFO going to hand out FINES? I doubt it. Like to see them do something 'cause in 4 years guess what FN is going to be whining about...

IM sorry unknown, but what you just wrote was complete jibberish. Thanks for the heads up though.

Uknown you sounded more intelligent when you were stoned on pills!! Just like any topic where an indian is mentioned you jump right to protection. From the start of this subject about FN reaching their quota if the first nations showed a thing about conservation just like any other group would quit fishing till an upgrade was announced. They were told they had reached thier quota and thumb their nose at the notice. Is this a people at one with the earth or just greed and making a quick buck. Keep crying your indian tears and bleeding heart ways, so I can keep up on the ways of the first nations blah blah blah it makes me want to puke can I have some pills too!!

shake it up...the rattle will slow down soon enough...i know who and what i was responding to, you obviously missed it!

edit to add: hey "Quickdraw"! you will also notice that i am one of the first to rally for commercial rights and sport along with battling the bureaucracy of dfo. so - tell some one who cares! Oops! you just did - wanna ride with me tomorrow morning and we can discuss this in person? Yes on a bike from Nanaimo to north of Parksville - i do it every day if tomorrow is bad for you.

I dont know what to say other than this and a bunch of other posts lately have been a little off. Seems to coincide with some recent information [?]
Thats fine, but back your words up mang

The case in point here continues to be a working example of the summary I posed above. The Tseshaht have publicly denied DFO's demand to stop fishing, noting that they "refuse to recognize DFO's Management Plan for Alberni sockeye" and "will continue to operate based on the Fishing Management Plan of their own design". The Hupacasath have publicly stated that "they will discuss the matter with their Elders and Chief in an upcoming meeting". Both continue to fish.
DFO's answer has been to engage in a PR Program designed to inform the general public that they would prefer if the FN's stop fishing, and warning of the dangers associated with purchasing "illegal" road-side fish sales.
At this juncture, there appears to be no forthcoming resolution to the issue at hand. Fishing continues, and frustrated DFO personnel sit on the sidelines (as they have been directed to).

It is quite the contentious issue here, heating up more each passing day. Personally I see no easy way to solve the divisions between the Management Authority and the First Nations Sector. The only real way to address this matter in anything resembling a permanent fashion is to get on with finalizing Treaties with both the local First Nation Organizations. Won't happen obviously in time for this year's run. I sincerely hope it can be addressed before too many more years' runs pass by...

I wish you had taken that bet Nog. I would be $0.25 richer right now.
