Man was it ever warm today, 19 degrees, 17 yesterday. It was warm enough that there are enough biting flies around to bother you. It never stops blowing, at least not for very long.

Internet and phones was restored over on the other side of the harbour after a week or more. If this happened down on the island portion of the province it wouldn't have been nearly so long to get services restored.

The lobster dispute continues in St. Mary's Bay, NS. A fish plant was burned down, lobster pounds destroyed, many people assaulted, intimidated and harassed. Even people's families and their children were harassed. I had some sympathy for non indigenous fishermen at first but then as time went on I realised it's all rooted in racism. So I have absolutely no sympathy whatsoever now for the non indigenous commercial fishermen. Non indigenous fishermen are claiming the fishery is illegal despite the supreme court ruling which states indigenous fishermen have a right to fish wherever and whenever they want. Non indigenous fishermen are also saying the indigenous lobster fishery will harm the lobster stock and is a threat to their livelihood despite the fact that there are only 11 indigenous licences issued compared to 979 commercial licences issued in the area to non indigenous fishers AND the fact that there is a year round fishery in the state of Maine with no apparent harm to the stocks.
