I heard a rumor that PEI is now allowing a recreational lobster fishery, any one have a confirmation, or info on this fishery?
I am going to strongly disagree with your thoughts on this issue!!!!!Here is how I see it, many of the lobstermen I know in area 34( I live here) already want the traps dropped to 300 as they fear the lobsters can't withstand the pressure also if there is less supply in the market the demand and the price goes up so I can't see them giving up 100 traps only to have joe blow set them. I can also see an even bigger paoching and black market prob that could arise. And I don't know if we would all benefit b/c the lobster fishery is the one last thing we got going here in this economy. if the lobstermwn don't make money they don't make boat payments which hurts the local credit union etc, they don't purchase new trucks they don't buy as many groceries they don't buy new boats or make alterations which will end up in shutting down shops which employ alot of ppl. , they don't go to the dentist the hair dresser as often etc you see my point. Their money is what keeps us going they spend so we get a cheque to spend. As much as I'd like to go catch my own feed I think I will be better off buying a few than losing a job and a steady paycheque, I think I would come out farther ahead.
Gee, SM, how do you know the wording of my epitaph?fueled more by alcohol and boozy bravado than sensibility and fact
I am not quite sure why you are accusing me of "TROLLING" when all I did was make a statement concerning a guy I met a few years ago?????? Is this the same guy as mentioned previously in this message thread? I am not sure, and I can only speculate to that!!!!X,
Not at all! No booze! No bravado! Just common sense. You must not have noticed the ?? marks at the end of my sentence?? I may have made an assumption that I shouldn't. The reason I asked if he had been charged was because, in order to change the Act, your friend "Al"(of Meteghan??) will have to challenge it - on what grounds, I do not know. The easiest, and least expensive, way to challenge legislation is to offend the legislation as it is written and then proceed as I have described earlier in this thread. (This is a long and arduous process. It is not for the faint of heart or the impecunious!!) The Federal Dept of Fisheries and Oceans will not change the statute just because you and "Al" think that it is a good idea - no matter how politely you present your idea. With the greatest of respect, you of all people, ought to know this. (If you're just trolling - Congrats! - you got a bite!!) Regards.....
The FACT of the matter was stated in post #19 in this message thread: http://novascotiafis...dpost__p__24638The fact that he has all the data etc, etc, etc and could not change the system while he was part of it, (by either logic or moral suasion), continues to butress the position which I have previously stated. IN ORDER TO CHANGE THE FISHERIES ACT ONE WOULD FIRST HAVE TO VIOLATE IT AS IT IS WRITTEN. THEN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE MINISTER (BUREAUCRATS)TO CHANGE IT.
I think I'll set up a troll booth to collect money for my next toyDebate be damned!! I just told you the facts on how the system works. Looks like GF is in schooling/spanking mode!!! BTW, now, I AM trolling!! Have a nice week....
Here is where YOU are 100% incorrect!!!!!!Some industries need to be controlled inorder to keep order in the world. A friggin free for all like there in the states as you mentioned obviously doesn't work. Maybe if there had been checks and balances they wouldn't be in the mess they are in. I for one would not want to mimic anything the states does here in canada, thank you very much, they obviously made a lot more bad decisions than our gov.
