If they didn't feed in our waters they would never return to spawn --

How do figure that fish taken from their feeding waters will ever get to spawn?

but where they spawn is not an issue.

Not to American fishermen, of course not. Neither to you. But Canadian fishermen on the West Coast must adhere to government quotas to the point where many cannot make a living off fishing anymore. They let fish go so that they'll return, then the Americans take what the Canadians have left behind.

If you want a fishing treaty there are better ways to go about it than by blockading boats.

Yeah, they should just ask the Americans to not overfish.

They won't. Any fish taken from water will never spawn again whether it is salmon, or halibut or carp. That's what I'm saying -- spawning is a non-issue. The issue is over-fishing. If an area is being over-fished, get a fishing treaty. But don't say the fish belong to you because they spawn in your river. People will just laugh at you.
