2024 FFAW Constitutional Convention Video
The further corporatization of our province's fishery must end. Resource management decisions based on votes and international clout must be stopped. Our Liberal MPs have lost all sense of integrity and ethics. They have forgotten who elected them, and they fail to recognize the wake of destruction they will leave behind for our future generations. Music: Zach Bryan, Cold Damn Vampires
