We all have a pretty good idea who was behind this. Nearly $50,000 worth of lobster taken from the ocean out of season, yet no name released. Apparently, accountability in Canada depends on who you are. Don’t expect much from this investigation.
FISHERY OFFICERS SEIZE 3,806 LOBSTERS IN NOVA SCOTIA ENFORCEMENT OPERATION
MARGARETSVILLE, N.S. — Fishery officers arrested one individual and seized 57 crates containing 3,806 lobsters during an enforcement operation at a storage facility in Margaretsville, Nova Scotia, on October 18.
The individual was arrested for allegedly making a false or misleading statement to a fishery officer.
During an inspection of the seized crates, officers determined that some of the lobsters originated from Lobster Fishing Area (LFA) 29 in Cape Breton, where the commercial lobster fishery is currently closed.
Authorities confirmed that the crates contained 3,311 live lobsters and 495 dead lobsters.
The surviving lobsters were transported back to LFA 29 and released into the ocean.
The seizure raises concerns about the possession and movement of lobster originating from fishing areas outside their authorized commercial seasons.
An investigation remains ongoing, and fisheries officials have indicated that no further details will be released at this time.
No charges or court outcomes have been announced in the information provided.

Three white women could face expulsion from the University of Mississippi after two allegedly made offensive noises and gestures outside Black students’ apartment. Apparently, being white and making noises is now grounds for ending your education.

The majority of real Canadians don’t want mass immigration. We want immigration from the nations our founding ancestors came from, with people who share our values, heritage, and traditions.
Handing out pieces of paper granting citizenship to people from the Third World doesn’t mean they share those values or speak on behalf of Canadians whose families have been here for generations.

OTTAWA COMMITS $32 BILLION TO FIRST NATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE AND ANOTHER $3 BILLION FOR HEALTH SERVICES
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government has announced $32 billion over the next decade for First Nations on-reserve infrastructure and housing, including $18.5 billion for roads, bridges, schools, healthcare facilities and water systems.
An additional $2.9 billion over three years is earmarked for the Non-Insured Health Benefits Program.
Despite the funding commitments, the Assembly of First Nations says considerably more investment is needed, estimating the infrastructure shortfall at approximately $375 billion over the next decade.
Housing shortages, inadequate infrastructure and ongoing drinking water advisories remain major challenges in First Nations communities across Canada.

“Trouble” was originally written and released by Cat Stevens in 1970. But some songs take on a whole new life when another artist gets hold of them. And when Eddie Vedder covers your song, somehow it becomes his.

Days before the U.S. midterms, Carney says Ottawa is "not at that position right now" and will only sign the right deal for Canadians. Talks collapsed in August, bringing 50% U.S. tariffs.

EU DROPS PROPOSAL TO GIVE CANADA ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP
The European Union has reportedly abandoned a proposal to grant Canada associate member status following opposition from several major EU countries, including France, Germany and Italy.
Instead, the bloc is looking at strengthening political and economic ties with Canada without offering formal membership.
Further details on the proposed relationship are expected ahead of the 2027 EU-Canada summit.

This could be one of the most unpredictable lobster seasons we’ve seen in years. Between tariffs, rising operating costs and uncertainty in international markets, there’s no telling how things will play out for harvesters or what shore prices will look like.
SOARING FUEL COSTS RAISE CONCERNS AHEAD OF NOVA SCOTIA LOBSTER SEASON
Nova Scotia lobster fishermen are facing mounting financial pressure as preparations continue for the upcoming season in Lobster Fishing Areas 33 and 34 along the province’s southwestern coast.
In a CTV News report, fisherman Michael Larkin says his fuel expenses alone could jump from approximately $30,000 last season to $55,000 this year, an increase of $25,000 over the six-month season.
Diesel isn’t the only concern. The cost of rope, traps and other fishing gear continues to rise, leaving harvesters questioning how much profit they’ll actually make.
The two fishing areas landed approximately 22,000 tonnes of lobster worth nearly half a billion dollars last year, but strong landings don’t necessarily translate into strong earnings.
Larkin warns that fishermen may have to reduce how frequently they haul traps if fuel prices continue climbing. He’s also calling for a federal fuel rebate to help offset rising expenses.
The Lobster Council of Canada says the competitive global seafood market makes it difficult to pass increased costs along to consumers.
With another season approaching, fishermen are facing higher operating expenses and no guarantee that shore prices will be enough to cover them.
