Bob Hooton,
A sign of things to come. If anyone dares challenge such unilateral pronouncements the usual labels come out - racist, bigot, re neck, etc.
When do we begin to hold First Nations feet to the fire? When do we expose the fish carnage atrocities they never admit to and are never held accountable for? How much longer does the fastest growing segment of the BC population get a blank cheque to exert whatever pressure it likes on a supply of target animals that is trending in the opposite direction as its own numbers? When do the spokespersons for this new government, empowered by far off Ottawa, begin to walk the talk about conservation and sustainability?
Is anyone paying attention to the proportion of that evil commercial fishing sector now comprised of First Nations vessel owners? I once wrote in a book the FNs don't get to kill the same fish twice. Either they are commercial fishers or they are food, social and ceremonial fishers.
If the people behind this latest unilateral declaration think they're doing anything to promote a brighter future for themselves they're living in another world.
