    Lobster issue

    Has the federal government really put in an effort to solve this problem?

    It seems they have to take some of the responsibility for what is happening by not getting everyone at the table for a fair deal thats good for all...

    Marc Miller said the commercial fisherman shouldn't be at the nation to nation meetings....thats a bit discriminatory considering the resources they have put into the industry..

    While there has to be a respect for the indigenous people and their ability to fish lobster...it seems no government has put an effort into being proactive...

    Anything concluded now is just reactive and may not be in the best interests of the parties involved...

    Sort of marketing related as to what happens to the price of Lobster in the next few days.....

    I haven’t followed this issue closely. I could be completely off base here... So we allow some members of society to catch lobster as they wish but shut down another segment that catches lobster.... hmmm I see no issue here please move along folks

        Life in Liberalland doesn’t sound so good especially if your lobster quota is determined by the pigment of your skin. Nova Scotia votes provincial Liberal and also for Trudeau.

        Get out the popcorn and see what lack of leadership will lead to.

          Probably worth paying attention to. Considering that according to the woke, us farmers are using land that belongs to the natives. Will this issue empower them to extend their claims elsewhere in the country?

              I think the natives should be able to catch and hunt all they want. The only stipulation needs to be with equipment before the big bad white man showed up. Means no rifles and pick up trucks!

                You mean no more cherry picking the best of both worlds.

                  And that needs to be applied to everyone. The Antifa protesters, pipeline protestors, the anti-capitalists, the eco-warriors etc. It would solve a lot of problems in a hurry. Imagine if Chuck had to live by what he preaches?

                    Did anyone consult with the lobsters about their preference?

                    After all, they have an an established hierarchy.
