This, is ONLY the very beginning of the battle for control/conservation of OUR resources and the stakes are simply enormous.
I would point out that the accursed Columbia River Treaty, among the most vile "sellouts" in Canada's history is currently being renegotiated...AND, rather quietly.
The effects of both the political process involved and the impact on what WAS the greatest salmonid river system on Earth, will be the defining event of 21stC BC history, well, at least equal to the "Asian invasion" now destroying our traditional culture.
We MUST "grow" our hunting culture and, especially among the educated, erudite and politically astute and powerful segment of BC society and we MUST reinvigorate our sense of nationalist ownership and control of OUR BC.....NOW!
I am heartened by what is happening, but, it is a ripple in a sea where a tsunami is required; let's hope that the movement grows and continues.
