Expect more clashes like the Nova Scotia lobster dispute as Canadians’ rights collide

The ongoing dispute between a Mi’kmaq community and non-Indigenous lobster fishers in Nova Scotia seems like a throwback to a darker and more racist time. We were supposed to have come a long way since that time. So it might seem like this fishery dispute is a throwback, a sign of how far we still have to go in order to truly end racism towards Indigenous peoples and protect their rights in Canada. But unfortunately this dispute isn’t a throwback; it’s probably a look-ahead. This is because the Canadian approach to equality and Indigenous rights, an approach that is baked into our difficult-to-change Constitution and which has been taken up with gusto by the Supreme Court, is based on two opposing views of rights. >click to read< 09:45

    There is a season for a reason..the dispute has nothing to do with race but is fully focused on conservation of the lobster stocks…

    Now they have the UN involved… Obama had agenda 21 on his mind early on that pretty much killed the N.E. fisheries… Then the Obama Ocean policy where he stole our Oceans and sold us out Leasing our fertile sustainable Ocean bottom… The future Green abandon Wind-Farm dumping grounds… I’d much rather see Canadian Hydro-Power here!!! Watch your back!!!
