In this episode, Curtis and Mark are joined by Jesse Zeman, Executive Director of the BC Wildlife Federation. Jesse explains the situation with the current proposal to reduce hunting opportunities for moose and caribou in the Peace Region of northeastern British Columbia. As a backgrounder for listeners not from Canada, Mark provides a synopsis of First Nations rights in Canada with respect to hunting, the amount of unceded land in the province, the BC treaty process, game harvest priorities, and obligations of government to consult with First Nations. Jesse explains the Yahey v BC court decision and why First Nations' rights under Treaty 8 were deemed to have been violated by extensive resource development in the Peace Region. The guys discuss why hunting regulations are being used as the solution for habitat impacts caused by industrial projects, the danger of divisive issues, and what the next steps should be regardless of whether the government's moose hunting proposal is approved or not.
