  1. ““In response to the question of why they were fishing there then, the accused, Jack, answered, ‘because it’s my river’,” recounts court records from the case… the court supported Jack’s Aboriginal right to access fish”

    The Hashilthsa newspaper from Nuuchanulth territory has produced a fantastic article detailing the history and current status of the relationship between DFO and First Nations.

    It's still not great.

  2. Jim Shortreed, #VictoriaBC based #herring #enhancement #volunteer , is not fully convinced of the precautionary principle. He said #DFO electronic surveys indicate the returning #biomass is low; however, he claims DFO continues to say the sonars are not calibrated & therefore contain a certain amount of #error in every reading. The only way to know how much #HerringReturns to #spawn is after the spawn when #eggs are #counted

  3. This company's mines are responsible for polluting Fording River, Elk River and its mainstem Kootenay/Kootenai River with selenium far downstream into Montana & Idaho. I imagine the US federal government, as well as the governments of #Montana & #Idaho, will be watching this transfer of ownership very carefully. Call me unreasonable, but #Canada & #BC should be all over this also. #DFO: any concerns?
