Call a spade a spade and grow some balls!

Why is it the feds are underhandedly trying to starve out NL'ians in the fishery?

We all know the feds don't want to continue paying EI out to fishers and plant workers for working a couple of months a year, just enough to get their stamps in some cases.

There are lots of fish being caught of Canada's East coast Continental shelf some within the 200 mile limit by foreigners with permission, and ouside the 200 mile on the nose and tail Flemish cap by turning a blind eye and not claiming it as our continental shelf like should be rightly done the Federal government is allowing the NL fishery to die a slow death.

The Private enterprise is only interested in increasing profits. They have no concern for the sustainability of the resource for generations to come as seen by the use of bottom scrapping nets to scoop up as much fish as possible with the least amount of capital cost to do so with no regard to the future of the resource. If that wasn't bad enough they want to increase their profit margin by shipping unprocessed fish round to china so they can make even more money all the while the people who lie adjacent to the resource are going bankrupt losing their homes and cars families are being divide because of the need to move elsewhere to find work because the feds want to be rid of the seasonal workers and the corporations want to squeeze every last cent out of the continental shelf with absolutely no regard to the people who live adjacent to it.

So there you have it

The feds want to save money by eliminating seasonal workers. They also want to keep on utilizing the resource of the continental shelf as a bargaining chip in international trade negotiations for the benefit for Ontario's manufacturing sector.

The corporations want to increase profits and have no regard for the resource and are destroying it through bottom dragging AKA Trawling, Dragging and even more by shipping unprocessed to china.

Don't get me wrong I think the fishery should be full time employment as much as the next guy but to go about achieving your goals in this underhanded approach is nothing but cowardly and dispicable IMHO.
Why not start federal programs that will ensure the viability of the resource for generations to come like banning draggers, funding manmade reef projects to be done by the fishers in their off season, or aquaculture which can be done in the off season as well. The old fishermen would be great to sart something like aquaculture because of their knowledge.

Poor old NL and all of the coastal provinces are left wondering what happened when the reality is the people who are supposed to have their best interests at heart are the ones who are out to destroy them.

Why else would Newfoundland and Labrador be discrimated against when it comes to the food fishery? NL is the only province where by it has been made illegal to catch a fish for the supper table.

No man it's time to get the FUCK out of this god dam fucking Colonial/Federation. Canada was our enemy before we were cajoled and duped if not outright criminally tampered with into this British look alike confederation.

How much?

The Private enterprise is only interested in increasing profits.

Shock! Horror! Heaven forbid a company turn a profit. Next thing we know, we'll be like... like... Alberta!

Nope.

criminally tampered with into this British look alike confederation.

What is even remotely British about confederation? Britain is not a federation of any kind.
 
That last paragraph is really ambigious Ex-Pat, could you be clearer on what you think? I'm just kidding, actually, even though you sounded pretty roiled up, it made me laugh.

I don't follow the fishery that closely but do you happen to know what nation's trawlers still fish within the 200 mile limit?
 
It's in here somewhere.

Fisheries Product International.

Or at least they might as well be since they ship out large portions and would like to ship it all to China like ExPat alludes to.
