That's not real. You are not educated at all in Canada's history and how the UN is forcing Canada to change. Canada is guilty of monetizing fish as a currency for paying a debt recognized by the UN and enforced by said. Guilty is guilty. Why not simplify it all and pay it out fully and completely. 17% of Canada's population, 5% of British Columbia...assimilation failed demonsterously. Given 'em fish. F*ck Off Canada. Equal opportunity is all we really want. History tells us that you'd rather see me dead.
I am HAIDA status Indian. The Government has still not provided me with an official card after numerous years...each year I must apply for a temporary status document which is only valid for one year , I have a number that I must apply for every year. I pay income tax at my job every month, everything I buy I pay PST and GST, I buy a sport fishing license to fish in Tidal waters in BC. I have a Aboriginal Commercial License that I pay for, I am required to report. I have a personal commercial fisher license that allows me to fish with regular commercial fisheries and I have permission to fish with a local band as a food fisher. Failing these documents I then contravene the fisheries act. This said, why the f*ck do I want to be part of Canada's Indian Act? Because If I am, then I am simply a child of the state unlike every other free living Canadian Citizen of Canada, all restrictions under the act I must abide. ******' BS. Do you really feel that 5% of BC's population is f*cking you over? Grow up and join the humans that really want to develop change. Start the dialog...its up to you Canada. The opportunity continues to be available for all sectors to form an equally beneficial mandate toward sustainable fisheries in British Columbia. Just do it. Ask me. I ain't special, but I know the right people in every sector. If all you want to do is bag, then just go away. Let us build positive solutions for all of our shared fishing opportunities. All fishing sectors required.
