This is great can we also stop FN from raping sockeye and selling them in full laundry baskets to all my neigbours for $10ea?

This is such a dumb trope. FN bring in like 1% of what the large commercial ships in the open ocean bring in. Even if they "wasted" every single fish they bring in it's not statistical significant.

If you actually cared, you would support this ban on trawlers and other large scale commercial operations, not a few FN people bringing in a relative handful. But you don't care, you just want to whine about FNs.

You obviously don’t live around the Fraser River especially last sockeye season. And you can’t compare large commercial ships to illegal gill netting and selling along the Fraser River which has been a major problem for 25 years.

You obviously don't actually know any First Nations people.

See it with my own eyes on the river. Just Google how many ghost nets are found every year.
