If the Cheam are going to file future court cases, they should really rethink their actions and the consequences of doing that. If anything, just watch MORE scrutiny of NATIVE FISHERIES around the province, most importantly them and their fisheries.
If anything, the Cheam think they can ram this down the sporties throats via going to court. I have news for you, it wouldn't be hard to expose the Cheam and other native bands for the smoke and mirrors their lawsuits really are.
If anything, someone should go out there and do a news story, and some investigative journalism into the current state of affairs of the dark side of FN fisheries in this province, and it would really become the talk of the town, and reintroduce the whole Native them back to the spotlight.
If anything, it would be nice to see the Fisheries Minister get off his my friend and get busy. I have written a letter and am just about set to fire it off to everyone in Ottawa.
If anything, the Cheam have no idea what kind of harm they are doing to themselves by taking this to the courts.
If anything, if the Fisheries Minister wanted to, he could start to deal with the Native Issue, and public opinion at this point is that certain bands think they are "HOT SH$$" and can thumb their noses at other user groups. Guess what FN rogues, if the fisheries minister decides he is going to deal with you guys, as public opinion and the other interest groups, particularly the commercial and sport, and other non users such as the general public, the Natives better be prepared to play hard ball.
