Nice!
Bien!
I was commenting on the irony of seeking reconciliation when laying charges against indigenous people for practising their rights as laid out by their treaties. Sorry that went over your head.
Hello there, fellow kids. [real]
“We recognize that fisheries … are of great social, cultural, spiritual and economic importance to many Indigenous peoples, and we remain committed to upholding Indigenous fishing rights, including the treaty right to fish for a moderate livelihood,” department spokesperson Lauren Sankey said.
Then why are you charging them?
“Our approach to enforcing the Fisheries Act is based on respect for conservation, transparent and predictable management and reconciliation.”
Then why are you charging them?
The Supreme Court of Canada’s 1999 Marshall decision said the Mi’kmaq, Maliseet and Passamaquoddy bands in Eastern Canada could hunt, fish and gather to earn a “moderate livelihood,” though the court followed up with a clarification two months later, saying the treaty right was subject to federal regulation to ensure conservation.
In my view, that means the colonial fisheries have a set amount, and any other fisheries are deemed illegal in the name of conservation. Rather, conserving the lobster and fish population for the colonial fisheries.
Just another way the Canadian government handily interprets treaties to it's own benefit and oppresses indigenous people. Classic Canadian Government.
Well shit, easy enough to get a machete... That's scary as fuck.
For me at that time, the "inane" activities were sleep, rarely I had time to go on my shitty computer some evenings.
Bike tires made from NASA’s bizarre shape-shifting metal are now available to buy (from Kickstarter)
That makes a lot of sense. The tires I have were the cheapest ones I could find.
Well, yes but I would put freedom from religious persecution up there too.
It's bread all the way down.
I use front and rear lights from MECs (Mountain Equipment Co-Op in Canada, similar to REI) in-store brand. They're not super bright, but they're bright enough so I can see where I'm going in random dark spots and generally be visible at night.
These ones. Though it doesn't look like the rear (red) lights are available any more.
