    I'm just doing my family history in isolation! All three of my Great Grandfathers were Captain's of ships! My GGGrandfather came to explore the Salish Seas in 1858 from PEI! He owned many Sealing Schooners & Steamships including the famous SSBeaver that sunk at Prospect Point in the late 1800's! He married my Grandmother a Chief's daughter from the Haida Gwaii! Tutsumutsa Edenshaw aka The Warren William's was interned to Kuper Island during the Spanish Flu! She still is the oldest native today to die on Vancouver Island in 1931 at 104! Thank you for sharing this interesting history!

    In the '70s the mantra was "eat more fish and less red meat, it's healthier." Back then a pound of fish was about 1/3 the cost of a pound of beef or pork, now a pound of a cheap fish like talapia is about $9/lb. in my area and the only way to find cod or the better grade of fish is processed in fish planks or sticks.

    This is a saddening episode, from start to finish. In terms of fishing, a lot of (majority) European... and some Chinese/ Japanese ships would illegally fish in the pacific oceans closest to where I was born that school populations were severely affected and felt by local fisherman. The style of commercial fishing that was/ done using nets by big ships is unsustainable, it literally scoops up everything in its path and in the 80’s they use to sometimes do dynamite fishing which killed off everything.
    And the European perspective of “civility” And cultural conformity has eradicated many of our first nations people and still affecting the tribes who have survived to this day... Claiming of forested areas for farming, missionaries and tourism. There are some countries and organisations that are helping preserve first nations people/ rights but it's not consistent and many governments ignore the injustices, due to profits being made with land acquisitions/ corruption with the use of donations.

      "Viruses were initially discovered in the 1890s. Eventually, a "golden era" of bacteriology ensued," And that was among the scientific community, hardly the average man and woman on the street. Feel free to spout what ever nonsense you like, but real time facts points solidly to the general population being completely in the dark as to how diseases were spread. 'Bad Air' was what they thought caused illness, they might as well have blamed farting. Germ theory to the average person was thought to be a matter of personal hygiene which varied greatly from culture to culture. Look it up. The first antibiotic wasn't discovered until 1928 and wasn't even widely used on people until 1942.

    In Argentina, people eat steak... but in China's over fished waters there isn't enough squid, thus the Chinese names on the squid boats...
    For a country that is 90% landlocked, they get WAY too much meat from the ocean. A cultural shift to goat, sheep, and beef and away from dogs and seafood would be a good idea. Ijs, livestock is easier and cheaper to grow than fish and puppers.
