yes,but the "our community only has a small clinic therefore we must make sure nothing happens" is the classic example of a specious argument - i.e surficially plausible, but ultitmately incorrect - as ANY covid cases would be sent to PR - hell, even in the comox valley with a brand new hospital, all cases were sent to vict. And to follow that argument even further, I guess the speed limit in Masset, QCC is below 30km/hr - as one accident would fill up the clinic. Hell, I guess no school buses - one accident.......
And as far as the matriarchs "visiting" nearby, why does the cynic in me forsee a CMT, or burial tree being "remembered" as being located at the QCL site?

Wake up, when things feel fishy, they usually are. This crosses all so called races of **** sapiens.
This situation Could be resolved by dealing with true fact and reasonable comparatives.

In terms of the road blocks, saw a few people posted on facebook salmon fishing group but they were deleted eventually because well im sure you can guess where they led to.

Only a matter of time till this **** goes beyond words. One group out on the water trying to salvage a business with a tiny operating time frame and another group out there with nothing better to do than follow those around looking for confrontation, harassing them and trying to block certain water ways. Then lets edit a video and send certain parts to the news outlets. This is out of control

well the issue is the Provence and Canada don’t want step in:
the question is do you want to see the lodges work it out with the locals or have the government come in.
Everyone knows this is a territory issues not a covid one.
personally I don’t think having the liberal government step in would be a positive for the lodges also it really doesn’t help when all your fellow lodges have made the decision to stay closed.
we all feel for these lodges but I don’t see an endgame here.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

STATEMENT FROM HAIDA HEREDITARY CHIEFS’ COUNCIL REGARDING QUEEN CHARLOTTE LODGE
Our people fought over many decades to protect Duu Guusd, the North Coast and the waters of Haida Gwaii. There was no support from the commercial sport fishing industry in any of the work to curb industrial logging nor the effort to ban the supertankers.
Since its arrival, Queen Charlotte Lodge has treated this precious part of our homeland as little more than a playground for those who make money spoiling the Earth. In their lust for profit, QCL has expanded far beyond acceptable limits, trespassing with breakwater and mooring overreach in Needan Gawee Naden Harbour, and now, they choose profit over life.
QCL has shown disregard for any fishing regulation or conservation measures, racking up more infractions than any other operation. The ongoing carnage and waste by way of “catch and release” is taking its toll, not only on every species of salmon, but also halibut and rock cod.
QCL has been dishonest in its representations to the public and its patrons when they claimed to be cooperating with the Council of the Haida Nation in the face of COVID-19.
QCL has shown disregard for marine etiquette and safety in repeatedly charging around in the vicinity of smaller boats at high speeds.
QCL has shown contempt for the environment in placing an old tug-boat which is continually ripping up the seabed and kelp with its anchors and pumping raw sewage into protected waters for the convenience of its clients.
QCL has been disrespectful to the Haida Guardians over the years and the Gaandlee Guu Jaalang Daughters of the River who initially appealed to QCL to remain closed through the COVID-19 pandemic.
If Queen Charlotte Lodge had ever been welcomed, it has lost its welcome on Haida Gwaii.

If Haida children can understand risk and respect, why not a sport-fishing lodge?
