Operation Roll Call: Royal Canadian Legion hopes to connect all remaining WW II vets in N.L.

May 31, 2021 Canada, International News

Eight decades after the Second World War was in full force, how many veterans of that conflict are left in Newfoundland and Labrador, and how do we best make use of the time left with them? Those are questions that Jenn Deon hopes to tackle this summer. Deon, volunteer secretary for the Royal Canadian Legion’s Branch 56, in the Pleasantville neighbourhood of St. John’s, is overseeing Operation Roll Call, a project to contact all remaining veterans, whether members of the legion or not. >click to read< 10:41

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing.
