What a tangled web we weave….that conflict of interest with that guy working for the DFO while at the same time working for the Gitxsan with his California transplant girlfriend is like a Kabuki PLay…..

It seems in a lot of these rural areas there are two type of peoples who have found a way to making a living, those that harvest the local resources, forests,mining,hunting, fishing, fish farming ect and those that mount protests against them.
it rings with the same echos of the SRKW, being the tool to close sports fishing but also the tool to try to stop pipelines and ports.

Well said, wildman…I got the same “Kabuki Play” image of the Kispiox locals stamping their feet in protest of the pipeline when maybe they should have been making that noise a decade ago when the environmental impact assessments were first being generated. The fact that the pipeline is now pretty much finished and ready to pump is besides the point: stamping feet and making green noises funnels in more of the donations which funds more stamping of feet, all for the sake of making more green noise even though the cows and horses left the barn a decade ago

OK-- But what are we going to do about this ? This "lobbying, activist manipulation of our citizens , and those who represent us in Parliament, (BC and Ottawa) " is well entrenched . Where do we restart ? Or do we just sit behind our keyboards and b*t*h ?

It’s interesting that two California transplants were able to land those cushy jobs…I’m guessing there were other Canadian citizens with similar credentials but despite the blatant conflict of interest between working for both the Gitxsan and the DFO, the Californians got the prize.
I tried emigrating to BC in the 70’s as a fisheries biologist and I was told that due to 25% unemployment (at the time) I shouldn’t even bother thinking about it….what’s changed now? …. I’m guessing it ain’t what you know but who you know

Elect a provincial and federal government that doesn't bow down to them! We have provincial election in BC this fall and if we have another NDP Government the Land Act changes that they originally very quietly proposed giving First Nations a full veto on land will be coming back!

I texted a friend and said that he might have to find another place to do his fishing this fall, but he said " Jim, don't panic, I will be fine, as a matter of fact, Jim, you are the problem, you have been scared away"
