Thanks AA-- Seems like they have a bunch of credible individuals on their board. But are they part of the bigger organizations like SFACs , SFAB, SFI ? Just seems like they popped up without a clear mandate to work with the organizations that have been struggling for years to get the attention of DFO Ottawa. If I am wrong, sorry..... please inform me. Cheers Bryan

I haven't encountered them at the SFAB Conference Board or SFI. They could be engaged at local SFAC level as their focus appears to be Port Renfrew from what I gather.

The solution isn't to make a bunch of random noise IMO, but rather to organize a professional delegation to Ottawa to present a sound and positive business case that sets out how the recreational fishery provides a clear benefit to Canada's economic response to this tariff crisis.

They attended the SFI conference and Big Splash last year and our connected to the Area 29 SFAC as I understand it they are very much about Port Renfrew SRKW and Cowichan Steelhead hatchery .

They also have been participating in Public Fishery Alliance meetings. They are doing some good work.

Thanks CC. Sure have a low profile however. They need help putting together a informative website if they want to get peoples attention.

 

[wildmanyeah]

Tbh Websites are kinda dieing form of media

So, same Liberal Government and same Minister as before from the East Coast.

 

[SG2.0]

In fairness this minister was only minster for a week or so before the election.

Agree the fisheries minister is new, and it really doesn't matter where the individual is from.

What does matter is why are they always people who have no fisheries or scientific background in such a high position?

Truthfully I was optimistic until a few days ago, but some troubling developments are just irritating again from fisheries perspective. I can't see how we are going to have progress here.

First off I am seeing a lot of time and effort by this government trying to get a majority by vote recounts to get a power grab. That feels like the old government. They even are trying to get NDP members to cross the floor if you can believe it.

Second I thought we said the cabinet would be different? Oh look the environmentalists are in high ranking positions again. Steven Guilbeault in high profile position in cabinet again? Are you crazy?

 

[wildmanyeah]

Yeah sunny ways cabinet, average span of a DFO minister these days seems to be about two years, not even enough time to learn what IFMP they are approving.

Is what it is now tho

 

[SG2.0]

Was hopeful from things I’d heard and rumours and just common sense about the economy but after seeing ministers comments today on various files. This just seems like Trudeau 2.0 (as predicted). Just insane. How people fell for this bs act blows my mind.

Can you pass along the comments, I can't find them anywhere online. Would be interested to see what she said.

The Island generally did not fall for more of the same. We're just a small portion of the voting bloc. Unfortunate outcome, but at least we have representation in the house that may help increase awareness around the fishery and the data that supports it.

Steven Guilbeault in high profile position in cabinet again? Are you crazy?

Bizarre choice for sure he was spouting off against carneys pipelines ideas yesterday

 

[SG2.0]

I just meant various ministers comments. Not the fisheries minister specifically

He is an absolute tool. Lower than a tool. He can stay as far from our fishery ,whales etc as possible. Let's hope he never gets any of those portfolios.

 

[SpringVelocity]

Sorry guys I forgot he is going to be a pain in butt! This is going to be fun. Steven Guilbeault is in charge of Parks Canada. MPA's here we come.

 

[ship happens]

Yup and once a piece of land or in this case lala land, gets in the hand of parks canada its there forever. Carney is going to make sure it happens. 2030 is such a good plan. Soo goood
