They clearly state in the video that the fisheries act does not apply to them and it’s their land. That’s their believes and they will continue fishing where and when they feel like it.

Nothing to argue about that’s their believes as stated in the video

sure. It was just a couple of guys not every member of the Sto Lo.

Anyone know the relation between 'generalization' and racism?

The FO having the melt down was just interested in the one FN. The other FO didn't seem all that interested in either FN or that his partner was supposedly 'in danger'. If his partner was don't you think he'd draw his firearm?

FOs can arrest people who they have a reasonable belief have contravened the Fisheries Act. I didn't hear either FO say "You are under arrest!" It's all a very strange exchange...unless you are bound and determined to shape it to a specific narrative; you know the one where FNs are responsible for all evils that have befallen our salmon fishery for which sports anglers do only good and no harm.

Oh yeah there could have been a nuclear bomb in the backpack. Some of the assumptions here get close to that ridiculous.

Sorry for the sarcasm.

Please explain Ralph.
 While you are at it, please go back and read this thread, and ask yourself who is generalizing? You Ralph somehow turned this into a FN and Sto Lo issue. Not one member before you said anything or generalized who the person(s) involved where. You brought the fact up that these where Sto Lo First Nation men, which most of us here could care less. These officers where again up holding the fisheries act, nothing more nothing less.
Please stop generalizing by turning every topic into a racist topic of discussion.

Actually in fairness to Ralph I bought it up that these were Stolo because they are and frankly without the leadership help from the Stolo a lot of our runs will suffer. Early Fraser Chinook is one of those runs.

Cowichan Tribes have agreed to not to fish/voluntarily made reductions along with all the other groups and as a result Cowichan Chinook numbers have really started to build in recent years.  Its that kind of leadership from FN locally that we will need to see if we are going to rebuild some of our endangered runs.

Cowichan Chinook and Harrison Chinook have a similar range in the Strait of Georgia.
