--Apple-Mail-240--1043129740 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=WINDOWS-1252; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi folks, Any anglers on this list? If so you may be interested in the following =20= story: Praise Queen Victoria for our right to fish = http://www.vancouversun.com/life/Praise+Queen+Victoria+right+fish/6669043/= story.html Our right to catch fish goes back to 1215 AD and the Magna Carta. The =20= public fishery is one of England=92s great legacies to the English-=20 speaking people of the world. Magna Carta is why, unlike forests, =20 minerals and land, the people of Canada own the fishery, not the =20 government. Why is this suddenly of interest? Hidden inside the Harper =20= Conservatives' budget bill are changes that will terminate the =20 public's right to fish. As Phil Eidsvik, a commercial fisherman and =20 former executive director of the B.C. Fisheries Survival Coalition, =20 writes: "If the budget bill becomes law, the fisheries minister will be able =20 to take fish from the public fishery and give it to his friends =20 through so-called fishery agreements. The budget bill even lets the =20 minister finance his department with the people's fish. Crafty use of =20= fishery management agreements may even close certain waters to anyone =20= but the friends of the minister." If you're concerned, read this article - and then contact your Member =20= of Parliament. Cheers!
