WCVI Communal Sale Fishery for salmon and groundfish

Is there complete fishing closures in the MPAs?

Agree...this government is a joke. Are we all supposed to just sit at home or for some extra excitement, go the local Walmart and do some people watching?

This is getting depressing.

A train wreck in slow motion.

Generally yes

The mpa’s are UN initiative because all over the world they found that complete closures were an effective method in bringing fish populations back. In Africa it worked well because there is virtually no fisheries management.

Well we have fisheries management funded by tax payer $.

If this happens we need a 40% DFO cull (at a minimum) as they won’t have anything to do.

Yup, thanks to the Liberal ENGO government we are importing foreign money into Canada to help fund the MPA process and directly influence our domestic policy. Amazing, now we are a third world country reliant on foreign capital to fund ENGO's to do the dirty work of shaping our domestic policy. What's next?

If you wonder what's going on...here's an interesting read:

You should be ashamed of yourself for posting this nonsense but I suspect you can't be.

And, you are suggesting that the money trail is untrue?

I'm suggesting that leadership doesn't rely on conspiracy theories to lead.
The fact is that she is a nutbar that's funded by the climate change denial machine.

So she is a nutbar because she has a different view than you, awesome, carry on

Like other posters - I neither like nor respect nor agree with the shift from what should be democracy with good governance & accountability to egos and back-room deals with petty Justin & his party cronies. Before this reincarnation of faint hope for change was the exact same situation w Stevie & his band of con men.

Sometimes - the more things change - the more the actually stay the same esp. w parties & politicians.

The issue really isn't this or that government that people like to associate by party (that's how they play people, IMHO) - it's the party system itself that preempts and co-ops what should be a functioning democracy. Nunavut has no parties and is a constitutional monarchy. We should follow suit. Parties are undemocratic and facilitate corruption - which is what the crooks and politicians (same, same) want.

This implementation of this fishery has nothing to do with what current party claims power - it's instead the courts - the important part of our government that can provide checks and balances (sometimes).

There are 3 parts to our government: the judiciary (courts), the legislative (parliament) , and the executive (bureaucrats) branches. Some people seem to forget and confuse what government is or the components - even within DFO or Justin Trudeau's office.

None of this has anything to do with NGOs (which label would include the PSF and many community hatcheries that the sportsfleet depends on); nor is it "race-based", as the odd poster has claimed.

With respect to the "rights-based" fishery that this thread is discussing - it seems few posters are aware of or have yet acknowledged (exceptions powerset, Fistofino) the "Ahousaht Decision" (https://www.oktlaw.com/ahousaht-decision-affirming-aboriginal-fishing-rights-stands/) and the subsequent appeals and spin-off court decisions that precipitated this fishery.

Also maybe nobody knows that DFO has simultaneously yanked the ATP and PICFI licences off the appellants in this case (The Ahousaht, Ehattesaht, Hesquiaht, Mowachaht/Muchalaht and Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations) when implementing this court-directed rights-based fishery.
