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!

Chris
