So they caught the criminal who did it ? Any reason why they don’t show them ?
@tishwitch Prove it. Liar.
@Alex Dicintio prove what? Confederation and the big discovery that is our land? Go read a book 😂
@tishwitch do you know what has been going on?
@tishwitch and before it was yours it was somebody else’s…read a book.
@Janelle Niles How dare you….?
Get over yourself you self righteous drama queen
Trouble with human beings as they all need equal rights or one side feels screwed
I can agree with this.
the treaties say they aren’t
@Jay Matchen
Treaties are created by the Queen.
Go take it up with her, don’t take it up with your neighbour.
That’s the problem both sides have.
The “enemy” is the British Liberal Aristocrats.
@IXOYE Britain isn’t involved anymore. We have to solve this. The problem is that ‘opening dialogue’ doesn’t matter.
lobster – the most overrated and overpriced food.
put your pp in the tank at irvins b’y
Obviously, you’ve never eaten live lobster. Run along and stick to your McDonald’s.
@kickyouinhalf excellent choice Ms Kick, fillet O fish always a solid bet for quality and an affordable price.
@donald b. pardy crab legs are much better than lobster imo
Agreed
Fishermen. They’re called fishermen.
@Wingnut Base
Shocking indeed.
Nouns can have adjectives before them y’know.
@BigSteveJohnson take your PC crap somewhere else, the ladies are proud to call themselves fishermen
Not only are you racist for not condemning these actions you’re stupid for still calling women fishermen
@C.F. big steve couldnt catch a minnow if he tried! He prob refers to blinking as blinkqueen lol
“Peaceful vandalism”
Mostly peaceful vandalism 👌
Same rules for everyone OR..this is inevitable….and it will get worse.
@Abdel Habib moron.
only the right thing one Law over all one rule over all also if someone screaming it is our way of life then no use of machines not even a synthetic filament what a hypocrisy way of life with machines when there were none
Basically i do not like your way of life but i will use your ways and tools you use as your way of life that i do not want and use them for my way of life ???!!! EUUUUH what type of a law is that ? and who brought it forth ? that means give more rights to some while depriving the other and rubbing his nose in it by oppression and force
So allow fisheries to strip the from local indigenous communities? No.
Have you ever been to a reservation?
Also, “The Dept of fisheries also said that the number of traps they are dropping won’t have an effect on lobster conservation. Their *entire fleet* is dropping 350 traps. A *single* commercial ship can drop 400. Federal fisheries licenses say there are 979 lobster licenses in the Area. That’s almost 400,000 traps.”
Make Canadians equal
@Brittany Wickert Because they don’t?
Are you admitting racism
@Troy Larocque Equal rights for all. You know deep down how this ends.
Let’s be equal
canadians are equal…..dont confuse legal binding recognition of sovereignty between nations of canada and first nations. they are two different entities in this country.
@Troy Larocque They lost the war. “woe to the vanquished” – Brennus 390 BC
@Drinkin’ Bleach what war? There was no war. There was a signing of treaties! That’s not a war. And in this signing of rights were given.
I like Lobster.
🦞 👍
@Con Derry put some garlic butter mhmm
@Aoru mmmmmmmmmm
MMMMM YUMMY LOBSTER MMMMM DELICIOUS
The supreme court and the federal government need to sort this out as soon as possible, we don’t want to see the dispute getting out of hands. Politicians, this is the time to try to solve the problem.
Ha Ha Ha.
The treaty that was written needs to be interpreted properly. Does it allow for catching lobsters to make money, or to catch a sufficient amount to feed your community?
This is horrible!! 🙁
the deep strikes again
She actually said “heating up”… they just can’t help but speak in headlines.
Guess that’s what happens when one side has 0 rules
They have 0 rules and are untouchable.
Like the liberal trainwreck thats ruining this country!!
The rules that let Indians hunt and fish with zero limits and zero repercussions? Where they get cheaper fuel on res land? Where their college tuitions are covered because of how they were born? Or were you meaning someone else
So the “non-indigenous” are demanding equal rights now.
Nobody see the irony in this?
no, elaborate please
Canuck Crusader if u cant see it u are part of the problem
@Mattessj sounds like you dont know what youre talking about. just clarify for me please, if you know, instead of insults
@Canuck Crusader unfortunately they do not explain, simply become enraged
😇
Fight back .. government is out to decimate the Indian culture… going on too long .. it has to stop 😇
government is on your side moron
And China is fishing out entire ecosystems and no one is saying nothing
Then China will starve
saying anything.
More division within Canada. personally I’d prefer to see more proof , either written or video. Don’t like when accusations are thrown into the news feed. Could lead to lawsuits if not reported properly and then no one wins except the lawyers
The problem is that the Supreme Court ruled that the First Nations could make a moderate living, not massive profitable. The Supreme Court also added that such fishing would be subject to federal regulation.
Jennifer Burke needs to learn and Indigenous issues before conducting an ignorant interview.
NS has to be returned to its real owners. Renaissance is very close.
