It's pretty obvious the fisherman are getting screwed over.
Yep - that's BS. The government has a right to limit the catch from the environmental stand point, but within these limits, no one should have a right to tell you who you can sell your catch to and for how much.
They make $2.20/lbs for snow crab? I would love to see a cost breakdown for bringing them to market. The cost is so high at the grocery store that I don't even look any more.
2.20 a pound?? Highway Robbery.
I now understand, the harvesters are being held hostage, fix it.
Good on them. The government has been out of line for too long.
So... fishers get screwed while processing plants and later grocery stores massively get the profits which also screws the customers. Makes sense.
If there's only 5 companies that can process the seafood, then it's a cartel. It's like the telecommunications industry in Canada. A few companies run the whole show and there's no real competition.
That's exactly whats going on in Quebec with the Maple Syrup. It's not fair and is not free enterprise!
govt is dysfunctional in this country.
One man was trampled buy a riot horse and is now at the hospital with a broken hip.
As someone who works in the restaurant industry, id love to ve able to go buy fresh local seafood from the fish harvesters....
Power to the people of newfoundland. Respect
For decades the gov't has screwed up the the east coast fisheries... i remember this similar type of unrest 40 years ago.
The RCMP are BROWNSHIRTS, Canada!!!
well my east coast friends stop voting Liberal
It was such a short time ago that the capelin stocks were so seriously over-fished off Newfoundland, that other species which rely on capelin, especially Atlantic cod, were seriously threatened. Has that situation changed in the past five years?
Man we need to get the government out of the economy somewhat. They're messing it up
You forgot the clip of the horses backing into the group of people knocking down a man and breaking his hip. Typical cbc reporting.
More government b s. These fishermen have every right
