  1. Why are they asking a lady from Winnipeg to comment about a situation that is going on in N.S? I say let them live off the land all you want. But no more financial support from the Gov.

    1. Gman, you are a dim one.

      Sure, give them back their violently expropriated homeland land and they’ll do fine.

  2. November 28 is the 332nd day of the year (333rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. 33 days remain until the end of the year turn off all internet for 3 days and live The Holly Trinity!

    1. @Kyle Erickson-Ó hUiginn Yes 333 the Holy Trinity 33 day’s before the end of the year the years Jesus lived.

    2. @Steve M and how did you come to that conclusion? I believe in prophecy but I’m not so sure about that.

    3. @Kyle Erickson-Ó hUiginn The Nova Scotia killers cop car that the News kept circling for no other reason 28B11 the 333rd day of the year Holy Trinity and 33 days before the end of the year 33 the years Jesus lived.Cheers!

  3. This is what happens when you have two set of rules… how about you grow up and play by the same rules instead of crying about how you deserve privileges because you got taking over 200 years ago

    1. Spoken like a true European. You’re pretty dumb when it comes to the history of Canada and how it came to be. If you don’t like it here…..Go back to Europe.

  4. All of this anger is being fueled by Rona and the force lockdown and government over-reach. We need to fight the government at every turn on this fake plague

    1. Interesting thought. I wish you didn’t have to present it with what feels like an attack. It’s true that lack of diversification has killed old business, but I’m not sure if it’s the same thing here. Very complicated issues. But we need to have open and chill conversations. I hope your day is great.

  5. Okay, then any lobster fishermen who want to catch lobster outside of the lobster fishing season, should be expected to catch lobsters like their forefathers. No gasoline boats, and handmade nets. But that isn’t what is happening here. There shouldn’t be violence, but if you want to fish like the generations before you, then fish like the generations before you.
