    These are tough money times for everybody in the industry, whether it be building houses or in fisheries. Lobster will always be delicious, but we all got to learn how to take less and get on with less. I'm quite sure that the Canadian Governement will tax you folks to death. I mean, with the Alberta Oil Tar Sands monetary boom, and all of the fat-cats in Ottawa and Vancouver and other Canuck cities like Montreal and Ronto... methinks that you little guys are gettin' swindled. Cut out the greedy Canuck middleman and sell your catch direct to the roving factory ships.

    Why not sell your lobsters to the floating factory ships? The Chinese and Japanese steam into your waters and they have the money to buy.

    I don't think staying in is the answer. I think its time to show the industry who holds all the cards or lobsters. A buyer is only in business if the fishermen sell to them. So the fishermen need to pick a buyer and no one sell to him. Maybe when they see who is boss and their living is on the line they will pay a fair price. Take the buyer out of the business one at time until they learn.

    Staying in is not going to help. What needs to be done is fishermen need to realize they hold all the cards or lobsters. If all the fishermen were to get together they could decide who stays in business and who goes out of business. They could sell all to a selcted buyer or buyers cutting out any buyer they dont like. Pick a buyer if no one sells to him he is out of the industry. A buyer standing on the wharf getting no lobster for an entire season. Show the buyers who is boss.
