Action!
Working halibut fishermen are getting the shaft as well. That has been said in a previous post and is worth repeating. They are afraid of losing all or part of their livelihood if there is any change. Sadly they need us to help them, as I believe they have to some extent been muzzled by the money boys. The entire coast will benefit when equity of opportunity is restored, and you and I can have a predicable and fair chance at taking a halibut home. One voice, one organisation? Absolutely!!! DFO and it's political masters are slaves to bad advice and powerful well funded lobbies. At the end of the day, we get what we need, or we all decide that DFO is completely irrelevant and collectively ignore them. Can you say Hali-Day Derby, to be held out of every harbour on the Coast, simultaneously. Can they arrest us all or will we allow them to target a few individuals? The political and legal firestorm would topple the government. Hopefully they get it, and do the correct thing, so this sort of action never becomes needed. Feb. 1, 2012 is the drop dead date. In the meantime, letters and calls to MPs and media, Calls to MLAs to get the province (provincial economy is being harmed by the inaction /bad decisions of the Feds) involved - These are the the things we can and must do as individuals. We are either part of the solution, or part of the problem. I know which side of the equation I want to be on.
