Digby

And this same MP gets alot of support from the ITQ quota holders in our AREA . I see last election every one of them in my area had his sign on their lawns . He use to be minister of Fisheries .

No Proof of my story ? Just put DIGBY WARFE into a search engine . There is a News paper in Nova scotia called the Cronicle Herald. Back a month or more ago they had Story after story about this . Inclueding One front page Article that told the whole Story ,inclueding nameing the liberal MP that got the campain money in return. This Same Fello i Heard a rumer Of was making trips back to the IRVINGS cottage too . If your Going to be A liberal you really should get in there and get something in return !

Cageratler you getting anything back for all that liberal faithfullness ? Down here where i live they gave one liberal supporter our town warfe where 70-80 fishing boats lay for nothing , Then they gave him 3,000,000 dollars to repair the warfe and keep it up (Which he Pocketed ). He never paid a cent in upkeep just put some money back in liberal campain contrabutions . He then raised warfage through the warfe and collected 200,000 or so in warfage a year not putting a cent back in .Then he even started chargeing Fuel trucks and welding trucks that was driveing on our warfe to service fishing boats . Some had to stop coming to our warfe as fees was so high . Now the warfe is falling down and our town got no place to lay its fishing fleet if it does . And the friendly liberal wants to sell the warfe back to the fisherman for 7,000,000 (well i guess he put his price down to 4.5) or else he says he is selling our warfe to the Chinese . I guess he kind of turned on the liberals after it went public , would not even let a liberal cabinet minister on his warfe . Or maybe that was just a Show . Surely as good of a Liberal supporter as you are you should be getting some kind of a deal ? If your not maybe you should be putting in a complaint in to Mr. Martin . You got to get in the IN crowd Of real Liberal party supporters .

True Argus , you hit right on . The sad thing is We probly are headed for more liberal Goverment . Right too the point we see without a doubt the damage that liberal goverment is causeing . And by that time it will be too late . I was joking in the post above , but the scary thing is losening the laws on marijuana possesion is probly enough to keep Martin elected next election no matter what platform Harper and crowd come up with . About 25% - 50% of this country is now smoking pot on a normal bases and the liberals know it and will say what needs to be said to get elected .

Oh Econimcs is covered too . Every seven Years the land had to rest , and men was released from Debts . Every 50 years the land was put back into ownership of the families that origially owned it . Capitalism was allowed , but it was kept under control , it was known that some would gain on others and it up with way more then their share . So precautions was put in to stop the losers from loseing too bad . And the winners From Winning to big . The big thing was it was to be ruled with a rod of Iron , in other words no corruption at all . no lieing , no stealing and very serious penalties . This is whats mainly wrong with our capitalist society people are not mainly gaining from hard work ,or even being smarter . In alot of cases now days corruption has been an asset . In a society where corruption is an asset , the corruption will just keep growing and growing , after a while nobody trust any body , lieing is expected of goverment so we can never get the best man for the job. Corruption Does appear as a usefull tool if only looking in the short term . But the long term it will bring the distruction of our capitalist society . In the fishery the biggest crooks ended up with the most gain , now most the young feel corruption to be the only way to make a capitalist society work . People have lost all care for maintaining the resources for our children , they have lost all respect for goverment as most know Goverment is in most cases where the most corrupt hang out . Lieing is Rampet , its so bad now that most beleave their own lies . Bring on the Capitalism ! but keep it controled and also keep it free of corruption .

To get elected ? Well just dress Harper in a Dress and get him to say not only is he in favour of Gay marriage he is considering partakeing it himself . Then have a national bible burning on prime time CBC , then stomp up and down on an american flag with cow sh-t on his boots . And lastly open up marijuana to not only make it legal but FREE . Oh ya And Start a national Porn Industry . That should get him elected .

Just one more thing I could very easily make a living without the ITQ system . A normal trawler in the 65 foot range Has to pay out 200,000 to 300,000 a year in ITQ fees to rich land loving business men . At the end the year the fisherman is probly more in debt . You could put 1/3 the effort in fishing and leave some for tommorow and make way more money if you did not have to pay these ITQ holders setting ashore . Amost every ITQ holder don't want a boat or a business as they know the 50% they charge the working fishermen is Way more profit then is really in fishing . The fisherman have to cut money out of boat repairs , boat safety gear , as well as their personal income to pay these land based business men. The ITQ system is Modern Day Slavery ,no other way to put it . We have not even talked about discarding , The ITQ system has brought discarding into our industry like the public of CANada would never beleave unless the seen it with their own eyes . Its lied ,and Lied about by these corrupt lobbiest that itq holders hire to keep their 200,000 to 300,000 a year rolling in for Eternity . OR TILL THE FISH STOCKS COMPLETLY COLLAPSE !

Cameron under religous and moral issues i got a post that explains ITQs you might want to read it over . To Make a long story Short ITQ = Individual Transverable Quota . It means the fish are owned by Somebody before they are caught . A fisherman has to buy the fish from business men before he leaves the warfe to go fishing . Every Cod fish or haddock or pollock in our ocean is owned by somebody before it is caught . They usally charge half the value of the fish before it is caught . Some cases they actually charge the fisherman 70 -120 % of what a fish is worth . I know lots of Cases where fisherman have to take a .20 cent a lb loss on fish to bring it to a warfe . One guy i know had to throw 100,000 of pollack back dead as to bring it to the warfe he would have to pay 20,000 dollars as they was charging him .60 a lb for quota and paying him .40 for the fish . Who do i blame? Fishermans greed is a little to blame , but any goverment should know human nature also includes greed and should make laws accordingly. 99% of the Blame should be put on DFO as they are totally incompedent . They know knothing about how to manage a ocean . Most the trouble is the way the power is handed out . Ottawa with the power , then halifax , then local communities have almost no say in how things are done . So the people that actually know whats happening in a area almost always are not heard or even paid attention too . The only ones DFO ever even listens tooare corrupt lieing lobbiest hired by rich powerfull men that care nothing about our oceans future they only want more in their pockets . The ocean should be managed from the communities affected and the communities wo have their eyes on real life situations . Ottawas only real roll in fisheries mannagement should be to keep corruption out , to make sure its done fairly and that certain ones in the community don't use community based management as nothing but a seat of personal gain. Ottawa Just plain and simply don't know nothing about what their powerfull pens are really doing ,and in most cases don't care . Fisheries Beuracrates should of had way more resposibility for their actions .At this time nobody loses their positions if they mismanage a fishery .So i find most of them don't care if they do make stupid laws. Also law breaking fishermen should be more accountable . At this time the biggest crooks are the ones who got rich . Law breaking fishermen should of been removed , the licences that broke the law should be taken and put in a public draw for others to draw for who might be more responsible . This would cut enforcement cost as then members of the community with no licences and no other chance of entry would have every reason to help with catching law breaking fishermen. Fishermen with real life experience and nothing to gain personally should be used in lawmaking as now only beuracrates with no real knowledge and business men with reasons to gain from laws are used. No individual should own the Fish swimming in a area , if any thing let the communities own the fish on their shores . Ownership of fish should only be after they are on your vessel . NO man should be able to make people pay for fish that are still swimming . They may not even exist . DFO science needs to start really working and be accoutable for mistakes . Real fishermen should be used in science also. Maybe DFO should have one or 2 fishing boats on hire to see if other boats are telling the truth when fishing an area . Also no man should be able to own too much of the fishing rights . its every bodys fish , and it should be spread around . Its no place to have 1-5 men owning it all . It make's the most perfect place on earth for laundered money the way things are now ,this has to be stopped.

Oh don't worry It will get better someday . Rev 11:15 And the seventh Angel sounded :and there where great voices in heaven saying :The Kingdoms of this world Are become the Kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ:and he shall reign forever and ever . Micah 4 tells us he is going to stop all greed , every man will have his own vineyard . That Image in daniel 2 is not far from being struck with the Rock . I see we are now looking for a new pope , will this one be the last ? will this one help the beast come to power ? Will this one be the false prophet who will be put to death at Christ return? No Goverments of man going to work , we was suppose to leave the tree of the knowledge of good and evil alone. Leave the law making alone . Im probly off topic , But i just noticed the Pope died today .

Your right about lobster fishing , its now big bucks . But its impossible to get into , lobster licences in my area start at 850,000 dollars more then ever could be repaid by normal fisherman . The only buyers of licences is goverment , and people with laudered money at hand ,and maybe people who already have 2 lobster boats paid for . Lobster , And snow crab is big bucks . and its mostly privately owned there is no itq quota in this lobster fishery . Almost all my comunity is lobster fishermen ,most boat owners make 200,000 or more a year after every thing is paid . District 34 lobster is where the big bucks are made and also district 35 . Pei is minor compared to south west nova scotia . Lobstering use to be a job you could hardly make a living at , but now it just keeps getting better and better , more lobsters every year and if they get scarce the price goes high , 2 weeks ago they was getting 10 dollars a lb out of the boat . most small lobster boats gross between 300,000 - 400,000 a year around here about 1/2 profit . Its a 6 month season mostly just the winter months ,and they usally spend their summers camping . Most fisherman now days don't want the cod back as they beleave an oncean depleated in cod is a lobster crab factory . This is how the Goverment keeps the wrongs of the east coast fishery quiet as alot are making more money then they ever dreamed . Snow crab is made newfoundland fishermen alot of money more then the cod ever made them . but licences are unbuyable in these type of fisheries . actually the rich ITQ holders been trying to buy up lobster licences with their ITQ money also , one big ITQ holder now owns 20 lobster licences even though the law is one per man. Also a good percentage now is all native owned the normal small native band here has 15-20 of these lobster licences given to them from the goverment . Thats why most fishermen are not complaining the majority are lobster fishermen , but if your not already a lobster fisherman , and your not native your chances of entery in this fishery are 0 . All bothers me is the money is there in my industry too ,but im forced to give it to others just because of goverment . I could easily beat a lobster fisherman if i was not in a ITQ system , but sence i am i'll be lucky to make any money this year. Might lose my shirt. Another point ,every day i fish i throw back 10,000 -20,000 dollars worth of lobsters (a trawler can catch what 5 lobster boats catch but we throw them back), You can imagin why some fisherman like me are not complaining , they can be sold for about 2.00 a lb less then lobster fishermen get cash if a fisherman was to sneak them in and steal them . I suspect i know why alot in my situation remain quiet to all our wrongs . Our ocean is produceing lobsters like never before in history ,every where i tow my net i get them big time . Maybe im better off just becoming Corrupt and shutting my mouth about this landlord peasant system i have to live in. Just be a Crooked Peasant . Thats my real problem I truely desire to make an honest liveing . I don't want to cheat lie and steal . I can get 1.30 a lb cash for cod if i want to steal them and no itq fees . No enforcement much either . i probly can catch about 30,000 lb on a good day , do that 2-3 times a year and just shut my mouth then tell every body the goverment knows what they are doing all is well on the east coast ! Thats why you don't hear no Complaining we only got 1-2 honest fishermen left and i just happen to be one of them . Most think i'm a fool ..........just shut your mouth go at it , get your share most tell me .

Could be they know about 60% of canadians would rather have Sadam Hussain on their border then america . I sometimes just wish they would conquer us ,I suspect they still got 3-4 wisemen in their goverment . Something we have not had for a generation or so.

I suppose your right But . I'm only educated in fishing . It's all ive ever done ,back then i never in the slightest thought that some day our goverment would actually give ownership of the fish swimming in our oceans to crooked friends who help keep them elected. I would of thought that the men with the fishing history would end up being able to keep fishing the fishing grounds that they and their fathers before them have always fished . I never in my slightest dreams ever figgured that ome day the fish I make my liveing off would be given as gifts to friends of goverment who in the majority of cases never been on the water in their lives . I know people that as of yesterday took 85,000 dollar losses from being forced by goverment to buy the fish before they went fishing . It turned out the fish was not there . They had bought fish the goverment said existed ,but reality proved did not exist . You lose what ever you buy every year on april first , you catch it before then or lose it . Its hard for a man to change his career at 40 when you have no other training . I actually would of left the Country and fished in a other country ,but my wife refused to leave Canada and after 18 years of liveing to gether i really did not want to leave her behind. Canadian fisherman can find it much easier to get fishing rights in other countries then they can get rights to fish in Canada . I know fishermen that have already left Canada to fish other countries oceans because of this ITQ quota system . I think if you study it you will find an exact repeat of the Landlord peasant system that drove people out of England in the middle ages . History does repeat itself , because of Lack of history being remembered . Generations of young Beuracrates and law makers have forgotten what a mess the Landlord peasant System was in history so they allow history to repeat its self . The big problem now days there is no more new worlds for the workers amonst us to run off too ,to Escape being peasants.

I beleave the power of advertiseing is a proven fact ,if companies will pay thousands just for brief perriods of time to inject thoughts in our minds . Then we know the human mind can be affected to take a different course with a little exposure to the way they want us to think . I just don't know how a tv ad could be very powerfull even to adult minds . But the TV program , The Movies ,the video games ,the music are suppose to be harmless . To me it just don't make sence . I honestly beleave we are being brainwashed to be a violent culture .

I guess we are mostly throwing the book away Maybe that old book did have wisdom in it . Maybe its going to get alot worse with it Gone . And Argus we all know the liberals can't stop the corruption as its whats keeping their engine going .

Well its not really the same I Miss Trudeau , As I have to buy the business and take all the risk . I have the boat payments , If no fish I still get the bills . ITQ holders don't have any money invested what so ever , most their money is invested in golf clubs and homes in florida . Most of them have not worked in a decade or Two . Some never worked in their lives . About the only expence they have is to hire crooked lieing lobiest to hang around goverment offices . And to brainwash the gullibul Public . Some of the really good set up ones draw 100,000 dollars a week some weeks off many modern day slaves like me .] Some of them own 20 or more of these ITQ quotas. All they got to do is help crooked goverment get elected in return . Give a cut to their crooked politiceans in the form of campain money . They pretty well own the politiceans.

Hugo My Son is 16 going on 17 in a few months any Ideas how long i should Watch what games he plays ? It was not his game either ,a deranged friend of his from down the road brought it here . I think the other kid has been extreemly affected by these Games he plays already . A few months back he broke in a cottage and completly distroyed it ,no motive what so ever . tore the cottage apart to just studs left in the walls i think it was like 25,000 dollars dammage to a complete strangers cottage and no motive what so ever , i guess he called it the distruction mode .Nobody can even figgure in the slightest why he done it . I always said some never grow up . So if you got an adult with a mind of a child should we let him Kill people on video games? Or should we just let our adults with the mind of grown ups Kill innocent people in their leisure time on their tv ? Now whats wrong with me i can't be normal I got no lust what so ever to shoot innocent people in my games?

I guess maybe im Guilty of not paying attention to every thing my kids do . The other day I walked in a room where my Son was playing a video Game . I COULD NOT BELEAVE WHAT I SAW . The game was he was playing the bad guy and just shooting and killing as many innocent people as possible . Is this world really that SICK ? To make something like that for Kids to play . What kind of Sick Bas---ds Is making these Games?

I actually blame the Homosexuals in our country for all the Foolish things like ITQ quotas ,and Native rights issues . How it works ? They stacked our Courts and public offices with fool judges and fool beuracrates . Just so they could get things like GAY marraige through . Now the result is Our law makers and judges are mostly fools and we are doomed !

Just want to comment on the education . I think its discusting the difference in what some races pay for educating our children. I have a daughter (who is a good Child and deserves a good education) who is trying to get a education . Ive helped her some but because of ITQ Quota fees our goverment forces me to pay to the mofia and to native bands (you can get better deals from Natives then the mofia). I was not able to help her much . So she will be in debt up to her ears when leaveing school . And then she could not afford the school she wanted .Probly when she does get out ,she won't stand a chance at a Job any way as most jobs will probly only for other races by that time . I also have friends that are native , one told me the other day that he made 90,000 thousand dollars last year All tax free . His boat was bought by the goverment , and free licences and quotas . He said his daughter was going to colledge next year and his daughters education would be 100% paid for .(He don't live on a reserve) So here I am forced to pay 1/2 every thing I can catch fishing to natives who now own the ITQs quotas. So I really can't make a cent any more , and if I do im taxed silly so they can buy up more of my rights for natives to sell back to me with my tax money. And my Daughter don't stand a chance of being equal no matter how good of kid she is or how smart . The Natives Daughter (might be good kid too,i don't know) could actually go to colledge just for the party if she wanted ,who cares its all free . Almost as bad as moose hunting . The other morning reading the paper i seen where they caught 2 white men shooting a couple moose . Was chargeing them under Indangered speices act and talking 250,000 dollar fines . A while back I was in a natives house ,he was cutting a deer up on his kitchen table that he jacked the night before . He told me the next day he was going to shoot a moose he had shot one 2 weeks or so before but it had rotted and so he wanted to go shoot a other one .Said he might shoot a other 2-3 . He was actually lauphing at the fact that sometimes he just shot deer to hang in front of his house to tease game wardens .

Are you sure US teritories are not citazens of the US ? don't sound right to me . I was in peurta rico last winter and I if i remember right a fellow told me they was U.S citazens of course i could be wrong. Also I know in california alot of the crews on boats was from american somoa and i know they could come work in the mainland US with out visas.

They are talking that haddock prices will stay at .30 to .40 a lb all summer this year because of a large increase in Quota on Georges Bank . Fuel now is sold for .60 a liter and i hear going to .65 . I burn 70 liters an hour and i only got half the power of some boats . ( I think the Native boats get their fuel paid for by goverment though) ItQ holders are wanting at least .30 a lb for the quota ,some still want .50 lb . Id say that the most a fisherman could hope for would be .20 a lb if lucky for haddock this summer after the ITQ holder is paid . So even if a fisherman was good enough to keep a catch rate of 10,000 lb a day average ,which is probly high for an average . ( the itq holder ashore gets 3000-5000 a day clear profit) thats 2000 a day and about 1100 will go in fuel .then you got crews , and supplies . a engine job is about 40,000 . nets 10,000 , ect ect . Maybe i better head for alberta . I hope things are better on the farms or its going to get hard to find food someday .

As a fisherman im Glad to hear the Goverment is helping our farmers . I just hope the money goes to where it really is needed . I expect if we had a package of fishing aid it would end up in the hands of about 10-20 multi millionairs ,and thise who needed it would see nothing . I don't know any thing about our Farm industries but i hope the little honest hard working farmers still have a chance of getting the help our goverment is trying to give them. If they was to help Fisherman ,I suspect it would all go to ITQ holders who own no boats , no expenses . no payments . And who just set Back and draw the profit of the working fisherman . I find as a Fisherman The ITQ fees that have to be paid are unbearable along with our high fuel cost and low prices for fish . I now burn 1000 dollars a day in fuel and have to pay all expences . I have to pay half my catch to ITQ holders before i can start paying any bills . These ITQ holders have no expences what so ever . Ive made 3 trips in the past two weeks and i don't think i paid my fuel after i pay the ITQ fees . Because alot of fisherman paid the ITQ fees upfront and they lose the quota on april 1st . And lose the money they paid out . People got desperate to get some of their money back . Last couple trips I beleave some was forced to tow small codends to try to get some of the money back paid to ITQ holders back . There was boat loads of Very very small fish landed . the prices of haddock went from 1.20 a lb out of the boat to .30 a lb . they had paid .50 up front for the quota to these rich ITQ holders . I just hope things are going Better on the Farms!

Another point I want to make is when the goverment set about buying up the licences and quotas for these native bands ,little care was given to keep communities equal . The area im from Digby County Nova scotia was in history one of the main areas for ground fishing .We use to have many ,many plants operating with hundreds of people employed ashore in fish processing . Trawling in Canada actually started in this area from a norweigion coming here running from the German army during the second world war . In the past i would say Digby County had as much fishing activity as any other County of Nova Scotia . The problem in Digby County was back when trawling started their was no restrictions on who could own fishing licences or how many they could own . So most the fishing licences ended up owned bye a hand full of fish buyers .As the fisherman just fished the boats for these fish buyers . But this made a very good target for the goverments check book . the majority of groundfish quota bought was bought out of Digby and Annappolis Counties of nova Scotia . I know one man who personally owned 3,000,000 lb of ITQ quota the goverment paid him 6 dollars a lb or 18,000,000 dollars , an other got 12,000,000 some got 6 million .a handfull of men owned all this areas history even though hundreds and even thousands made their living off this quota . Now Digby County looks like a goast Town in its fish plants . you can find probly 30 plants all fallen down in ruins . Nothing was put back to replace what was taken out by goverment . What was taken out was given mostly to native bands in cape breton . So the fishing rights of Digby County now are mostly owned by natives in cape breton . They would have a 2 day steam in a boat to even get to the fishing Grounds of Digby County . So the natives mostly just lease the quotas and boats to people from yarmoth county . So millions of tax Dollars was used to put tax payers of Digby County out of work . The Money now goes to non tax paying natives in cape breton . Digby Countys residents now mostly just watch trawlers from other areas now just clean up their fishing grounds .that their ancesters fished for the last few hundred years . I know if it was recorded by DFO (which they would not dare to record ) Digby County probly was number 1 in fishing activeity in the past (before 1990) And now almost every plant is in complete ruins and Digby County might come in last Place in groundfish activity now . ALL DONE WITH GOVERMENT MONEY ! The result is ALBERTA bound for alot of our young men . Other communities where the natives have set up to lease out their fishing rights . had almost no Groundfishing in the past before 1990 . Now they are thrieving ,building new plants . ect . Goverment money was used to Completley put one community out of work and transfer the money to different communities . I think when it all comes public the native buyback program will make quebec sponser ship look like small potatoes . I suspect hundreds of Millions of tax dollars have been wasted in this field . but the scary thing is Now the new owners of the resources won't even have to pay taxes , so if 50% of our resources are now in the hands of non taxpayers . by tax dollars won't that mean somebody in the future will pay alot more . Or else our Country is in for alot less money in its bank account . Another thing to remember these natives are all duel citazens . They might not even be spending their dollars back in our country . Alot of them are from Boston . They come here from Boston and get local Bands to adopt them. Every fishing boat once its Native owned is a part of the reserves . And no Taxes , Not even aloud to look at their books . So we will never even be able to find out where the money is going , It could all be going to Bahamas in offshore Bank accounts . I just think we have lost our Wisemen in Goverment!!!

There is not alot of wide open fishing at this time by native groups , There is some lobster poaching done in summer months under native food fishing rights . A few years Back a Native was charged with fishing eels in a brook with out a permit . When DFO took it to court the natives won as some foolish judge ruled that natives was garenteed the right to fish in a treaty wrote in the 1700s . So then Our goverment went in a panic as they figgured their would be no way to ever stop natives from fishing no matter how distructive they was to a fish stock. So the goverments only hope of stoping it was to reign millions of dollars on our local native bands in return for them signing to come under DFO management . At this time almost all of the MIc Maw bands have signed in return for millions of dollars in boats in licences . I only know of 2 bands in Nova scotia that have not signed . Indian brook and Bear river . When a band signs DFO rewards them with millions and millions of dollars in licences and boats and gear all as gifts . I suspect hundreds of millions of tax dollars have been spread here to put out this fire which i beleave was created by a foolish judge . As in star treck Captain Kirk and crew was not suppose to use his power to change the course a society was taking . DFO did the opposite and this 1 percent of the population that never fished in history mostly because of their own will . now owns i figgure 30 -50% of all fishing rights ,given to them as gifts to sign up under dfo management . But its completly distroyed the future of most of the white community who now have little hope of fishing the ocean like their ancesters .Now they can only hope to fish and pay royalties to Native bands . Along with the free licences came millions of dollars in new fishing vessels and gear mostly as gifts also .. Some native bands have been made extreemly wealthy from this . In most cases this new found wealth only finds a few pockets and alot of natives remain in poverty. Now we don't have an equal society we have people coveting native blood , people fighting for status . The Young White community is loseing hope of ever being able to fish like their ancesters have , so they mostly don't care for the resources and turn to total disrespect of goverment and fishing laws. What is not owned by Natives now mostly is owned by a small handfull of men . Goverment money has been used to totaly disrupt the natural flow of society . In my opinion its going to lead to a big mess in Canada in the future . In the 1700s All men was aloud to fish the treaty was to make them equal not set them high above every body else . I beleave our Goverment and its judges to be fools on the way they handled this matter .

I truely am not a racist person , i invite all races and nationalities in my home and i actually enjoy friendships with persons of other races . I myself am of white ,English ,french ,jewish decent . In the last few months ive had much envolvement with persons of other races espeically first nations peoples ,as in my fishing operations now i very often am involved with business relations with first nations peoples . Ive actually had 2 natives liveing in my home as guest and i found them both to be out standing guest . So i have no problem with first nations peoples or any other race for that matter. I am wondering if our goverment is not going to far in racism against certain races . I as a White man feel that im becomeing the victim . I know that it is very hard to get sympathy as a white man when talking about racism . One time i actually called the provencial department of human rights and told them a story about being discriminated against . The Answer I got Shocked me ! A man on the phone said yes sir you are being discriminated against but you are not black , nor native or a woman and we are only here to serve miniorities . So then I asked , what I would do as a white male , the answer was I don't know sir . My question is ? does any body beleave our forfathers when writing our constitution actually intended to put certain races above other races ? Or was their goal to make all Equal ? Like this native fishing right thing , Do you think Natives should have gareenteed rights that others don't have , or was our for fathers wishes to keep every body with equal rights? At what point in Canada did one race ever have more rights to fish then a other ? now days millions (maybe even hundreds of millions are being shelled out of tax payers money to buy up the fishing rights for the native community. In Nova scotia i think native population runs about 1% of our population . and i suspect at this time the goverment has bought about 30% -50% of all fishing rights for our native community . At no point was any race ever given more access to the ocean ,the native community just was not interested in fishing untill recent years . and even now its not about fishing but collecting royalties . Isn't the racism being commited against the white community ? In my comunity a lobster licence cost 850,000 to buy In a native comunity the goverment has bought more then natives can even use , alot are leased back to white men for 30% . A boat cost a member of the white community 400,000 -1,000,000 or so . A native community pays almost nothing , the first 200,000 usally a grant ,if not all . We have to pay taxes . In most cases they don't A young member of the white community has almost no hope of entering the fishery . In the native community their almost being drug out of their houses to go . Maybe their was some wrongs commited against our native comunity in the past . But why is it right to make this modern generation pay for all past sins? I honestly think this Country has lost its wisemen and judges when i see the reality on this topic . I honestly beleave this approach our goverment and judges have taken is racism at the highest degree , and some day its going to add up to big troubles in Canada .
