Liberals face headwinds in Atlantic Canada fishing communities
Can Liberal Leader Mark Carney shed his party’s handling of the fishery in coastal Atlantic Canada? “We tried everything to get a meeting with Sean Fraser, our Nova Scotia representative in the Liberal cabinet, and he would never meet with us,” said Colin Sproul, a Delaps Cove fisherman. “After having rebuffed all our attempts to meet with him, we were in Ottawa last year and he came out of a room and literally ran right into me. He then turned and ran the other way without even acknowledging our presence. He didn’t make time for fishermen, and he didn’t speak up for the great concerns with his government’s handling of the fishery.” Sproul is also president of the United Fisheries Conservation Alliance, which he noted is an apolitical association and that he doesn’t speak for the political views of his membership.
