    Eric Pelkey on BC's Fishy Herring "Fishery" - "SHUT IT DOWN!"

    Let the Herring Live! Eric Pelkey is done pretending BC fishers should still be capturing herring. The Community Engagement Coordinator for the W̱SÁNEĆ leadership council talks about a proposed boycott, over-fishing, under-enforcement and the disappearance of a keystone species with significance to the W̱SÁNEĆ Nation and the entire eco-system of the Salish Sea. "Without the herring the salmon can't live. The sea lions can't live. The seals can't live. And if there's no salmon, the killer whales and the larger sea mammals can't live either. No salmon, no killer whales... The herring is a keystone species for the survival of life within the Salish Sea." Shownotes: 3:11 "The importance of herring to our people is immeasurable." A trade item. A food source. And more. 6:31 "Herring and other fish provided a really substantial part of our diet... Not having that seafood and herring has really had a detrimental effect to the health of our people. Especially the First Nations women." 10:20 How real is the herring "fishery" as an industry? 11:30 The history of herring fishing and when the herring were everywhere. 14:09 The Canadian government allowing over-fishing. "They went in there and took whole communities at once. And wiped them right out." 15:10 "Without the herring the salmon can't live. The sea lions can't live. The seals can't live. And if there's no salmon, the killer whales and the larger sea mammals can't live either. No salmon, no killer whales... The herring is a keystone species for the survival of life within the Salish Sea." 16:28 "The DFO is supposed to be the protector of the fish, of the sea... but the DFO speaks only to the commercial industry and listens only to them. And doesn't listen to us." 17:45 "They're gonna do the same thing that they did on the east coast with the cod... it's like you're putting another arrow into the backs of the First Nations people." 18:30 "They're willing to wipe out the herring for a few dollars more... for a few dollars." 19:40 "Let the herring live!" 23:33 "Talk to your MLA or MP about the importance of herring." 24:19 How long the moratorium should last - 20-25 years. Real science vs. pseudoscience. 25:32 His herring necklace.

    Dr. Andrew Rosenberg on Trump vs. Science, Facts & The Planet

    Talking Trump vs. science, facts and the planet with Dr. Andrew Rosenberg.  The former director of the Center for Science and Democracy at the Union of Concerned Scientists and former director of NOAA on Project 2025, popping social media bubbles and why it is so friggin' important that Americans vote... And not for Trump. “Whatever your issue is, should you be concerned? Yes! ...This is not a time to sit it out.” On Project 2025: “It’s worse than you think it is. No matter how bad you think it is, it’s worse.” Shownotes: 4:11 Andrew Rosenberg explains what the Union of Concerned Scientists is concerned about and how the focus shifted from weapons to using science to spin for politicians. 7:00 “Everyone will ask what are you concerned about… until Mr. Trump was elected and then nobody needed to ask that question anymore because it was pretty obvious what we were concerned about.” 8:00 Trump’s wasn’t the first administration to distort facts. “Everything that was talked about the facts became whatever Mr. Trump said they were at any given moment and that was not the same thing from one moment to the next. And in our current presidential campaign that’d gotten even worse.” 8:52 The futility of fact-checking when “everybody’s in their little bubbles in the social media age.” 11:06 Why the Trump administration kept losing their challenges in court and how Project 2025 will stop the courts from ignoring laws. 11:51 “We also leaned into the ideas that scientists can and should be much more active in the political process.” And the resistance to that… 16:45 How to challenge lies. What works, what doesn’t and why. “We’re not going to turn everybody into scientists.” 22:07 The impact of COVID and isolation on fact based reality. 23:10 “Anybody can say anything on social media.” 28:45 On Project 2025: “It’s worse than you think it is. No matter how bad you think it is, it’s worse.” 33:41 “President Trump was frustrated that people didn’t just do what he wanted.” ‘cause laws and consciences… 35:20 “It’s 900 pages long and covers every agency.” The end of NOAA… the end of science and research… and privatizing the weather service and…. yeah it’s worse… 37:00 Everybody becomes a political appointee…  You’re fired! “You would choose people based on their loyalty, not their expertise.” 39:15 Sharpiegate! How Trump moved a hurricane - so he could send money to a state he liked. 43:25 You can imagine what it will be like if he’s back in office. It will be worse… things will get a lot worse.” 44:00 "There’s no tethering to facts at all… it’s just whatever he happens to think about it at a given time. 48:04 BC water moving to California? 49:00 “I don’t believe he understands the sovereignty of other nations. Or cares.” 55:00 What you can do… 51:25 “Whatever your issue is, should you be concerned? Yes!” 51:52 “This is not a time to sit it out.” Skaana podcasts connect you to news and experts and their discussions about environments, oceans, and orcas. * Skaana homepage * Mark's homepage * Join and support the Pod at Patreon * Subscribe to the Skaana newsletter * Subscribe to Mark Leiren-Young's newsletter * Spotify * Apple
