A law was passed some years ago that stopped foreign fishing within the

government now *rents* Canadian flags to foreign vessels, so no law is
being broken.
Then there is the matter of the ships dumping used oil into the
shoreline waters to save money in port. The Minister of Fisheries
doesn't gave a crap.
The bottom dredging is another sign of corruption in the highest levels
of our Bush-Lite administration. These people are killing all life in
the oceans for the sake of a few cents a tin.
It's sickening.

Sickening indeed, the oceans and seas of the world have become toxic
waste dumps thanks to the actions of humans. Not satisfied to merely
poison the waters with our toxins, the navies of the world
irresponsible use of sonar also kills millions of dolphins and whales.
Recently the US Navy was ordered by the courts to cease sonar training
exercises because of the devastating effect it has on marine life. Per
usual the fascist Bush/Cheney regime ignored the decision and
exempted the US Navy from complying with the order - shouting "9-1-1"
and "national security" no doubt. How much mileage they are going to
get out that canard is unfathomable evidently.
Today I saw another news report of dolphins beaching themselves. This
time in Madagascar - 55 dolphins died.

pretends not to know why this happens but it is naval sonar. The
painful high pitch of the sonar is so painful to marine mammals it
literally drives them crazy and they lose their navigation ability.
The more I observe the actions of human beings, the more I am
convinced that the specie is the result of a cosmic mistake. The
universe will rejoice when we finally succeed in driving ourselves to
extinction. Good riddance. The tragedy will be that we will have
committed omnicide enroute to our demise.
