Why do yall allow others to rape your reefs?

Our government sold access to the fishing grounds under our control in
exchange for those countries purchasing wheat and beef from the prarie
provinces. Then when the prarie provinces found oil and the fish stocks had
declined.... they told the east coast provinces to go "freeze in the
dark". The remaining fishing areas were quickly overfished to the point they
had to place the cod under protection. It destroyed the lives of many people
here who had been telling the government to stop and had curtailed their own
fishing.

Sounds like good fishing,

Fishin' is fishin... I do it to catch fish... not for the pleasure. No catch
and release, if you don't want to eat them ... leave them the **** alone.
I'm totally opposed to commercial fishing by large corporations... same
thing goes with farming.
