‘We are not racist’: Nova Scotia fishing communities call for action again from feds to resolve lobster fishing dispute
By daybreak, they numbered in the hundreds. Men and women from coastal communities throughout southwestern Nova Scotia gathered in the parking lot of the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans building in Barrington Passage on Monday morning to once again ask for action from the federal government to resolve the ongoing lobster fishing dispute with Sipekne’katik First Nation. They also wanted to set the record straight. “We want to have dialogue. We need to have dialogue and that’s not happening.

We want to be able to prosecute the fishery under the same rule of law.” >click to read< 16:54
