To be clear a harbour blockade was never my idea. I was in favour of letter writing lol. My last couple of posts merely pointed out that if there was to be a blockade Victoria was a poor choice to get Federal Attention.
In regards to getting boats out, as I said earlier the average law abiding Canadian citizen is so used to getting screwed over, that they will likely just take it, unlike the special interest groups,and the powers to be know that.
By the way, don't assume the media will ignore or deride a small protest. If you ever notice on the news, the shot of the protesters is usually close up,because a wider angle shot would show just how few there are. Very seldom are the protests major events, but watching the news you'd never know it.
The point about conservation is a valid one. If however Canadians are educated as to how the current quota system works, how the government gave their resource to a handful of non fishing fishermen and the fact that no one is asking for a bigger harvest, just a realistic reallocation of the current one, I think they would come onside. I think our main goal should be to inform Canadians about the ITQ system, most people are blissfully unaware.
Vic would garner media attention obviously.
