DFO should send cover-up COs for this one. Shouldn't they?

It would be nice if they did.
But my gut tells me that it is a troll.

I might give that numer a call if the ad is still there tomorrow. Haven't done investigative reporting in a while.

"Social"

Speaking of which, this came up using a facebook search of the phone number in the craiglist ad;

Ya, we all know that. I am a bit sarcastic there but they usually just sell it to known connection of stores and restaurants. at the backlane or at the river. DFO is not doing anything nowadays at the weirs of the Cap and fishermen are not pushing a solution to those weirs. But to advertise on CL is a bit unusual and a bit sarcastic and sad to think that we have just been denied to fish pinks on the Fraser after 2 years' wait and this guy is selling his surpluses just because of his ethnic background. Well at least he is not discarding them like the male pinks on the Fraser bar. Lol.

I don't see a problem. He is using traditional methods, harvesting coho, releasing pinks.
This is a sanctioned fishery for the Squamish Nation under their communal license.

The "for sale" ad on Craigslist is a different story altogether.

Not to mention the slew of "Wanted: Salmon" ads. I'm surprised that people are so brazen about it  :(

I feel sorry for the kid.  A few months out of the year he has to sell salmon to support himself.  Thank goodness the salmon he sells is not leading somebody to overdose like street drugs.  Not all natives are well out off millionaires like their chiefs and counselors.  A lot of them don't have enough education they can leverage into well paying jobs.

Do you know something we don't or are these assumptions? How do you know the money he is making off selling his salmon harvest is not going towards buying drugs?

I don't feel at all sorry for him. Going off by what I've read on that Facebook pic, that "kid" went to Carson Graham (educated and I assume graduated - likely no longer a kid), lives in Burnaby (off the Rez) and works for the Squamish Nation (employed in a likely well-paying job).

I wonder how the Squamish Nation Council feels about seeing these ads.

Your assuming a lot in this statement... and sorta stereotyping also.
