Aboriginals in Nova Scotia are claiming an unrestricted ‘Treaty right’ to fish whenever they please – in this case, out of season and violating fishery conservation regulations — and they say that this ‘right’ is guaranteed by the Supreme Court’s ‘Marshall’ ruling. They are getting away with this LIE because media, like the CBC, are either too ignorant, or biased, to tell the truth.

–‘R. v. Marshall, 1999 CanLII 666 (SCC), [1999] 3 SCR 533’,
