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.
