If this is fact.. you all had better run, not walk, to the nearest
Canadian Embassy and apply for citizenship. Act now...beat the crowds.


The province of New Brusnwick has a law which specifically permits
fishermen to use the bank of any river or stream in the province. It
was a reaction against the laws in the old country (Great Britain)
which kept the public off riverbanks flowing through private land,
mostly owned by the aristocracy.

I can't see this US jusdgement holding up against popular outrage.
They'll find some way out of the situation. eg pass a new law.
