Create a system with catch limits and a season to ensure the lobster population is able to replace what has been harvested. Have all fishers licensed and compliant with the system and enforce big fines on those that don’t comply with the system.
Then declare that some people are allowed to ignore the rules that everyone agreed on because of their race. Canada 2020.
It's almost like giving people special economic privileges, based on their race, inevitably leads to violence? Is that even possible?
Dont forget, they are shipping the lobsters to china - its supposed to be a treaty for ancestral rights to fish and eat. They end up using most of the lobsters for fertilizer. They dont give two shits about anything. Didnt even fish or eat lobster until europeans wanted them.
Lobsters were considered rats of the sea and food for peasants and prisoners until the mid 20th century.
So..... civil war? Please say yes, please say yes!!
Natives have no respect for conservation of nature, they just hunt species to extinction and then whine about some treaty or colonialism when they face pushback.
You bums wouldn't have your modern fishing equipment without settlers.
Racial politics leads to violence, most people have known this forever.
Based!
You have to love how the fishermen only stole their catch to return it to the sea.
They shouldn't have to do that to ensure the viability of our lobster industry.
The government needs to get its thumb out of its ass and oppose the natives when it comes to their hunting "rights" because this is beyond ridiculous.
I'm team fisherman on this one.
I live close to the area and this is a video live stream from the commercial fishers pov , gives more insight into what's going on

Sorry for the fb vid it's the only one I've seen
Interesting video, so the natives just leave the lobsters to rot? Why don't they process and sell them?
My prediction is someone will end up shot sooner or later, fishers don't fuck around then again neither do the natives here, just a matter of who snaps first
As for what's happening when they refer to cedars those are females with eggs and right now is spawning season that is why the commercial fishery is shut down, to ensure that these stocks are not overfished so there can be a fishery next season.
Tinkers are undersized lobsters ,
And it's all rotten, just fished and not sold.
Apparently the natives sell a lot of it to china then whatever they don't sell goes for fertilizer, or so I've heard
The big issue is they are self regulating so basically doing whatever the fuck they feel like, all the while the commercial fishers season is closed and they're worried that there won't be any lobsters next season due to the way the natives fish, and also given it's spawning season.
That's the basics behind it, I'm not a fisher so I can't say what all the details are however
Settler , Can we call them larper's yet?
It’s great, isn’t it? They want to use all of our technology and know how and infrastructure to make their supposed ‘moderate livelihood.’
...But when it comes to anything involving building anything in this stupid country we have to use ‘traditional indigenous knowledge’ for EVERYTHING regarding the environment. : /
We’re fucking doomed.
