mowatt does say some very insightfull things about or abuse of the enviornment but he isn't very accurate at times.

i like they guy, i met him a couple of times, and i like the movie.

he was very condemning of the abuse to our ocean resources in his book "sea of slaughter" and that made him very unpopular. " a whale for the killing "made him equally unpopular, but on both cases he was right. i don't think he's right about the seal hunt --they are so far from endangered, that we have much bigger issues, but he can't be right all the time. its his opposition to the seal hunt that made him so unpopular in pei.

he was also right about the famine among the inuit in the district of keewatin in the forties. ottawa was ignoring the famine and he was a government worker up there and kept using government resources to tell them people were starving--he got fired, and the inuit starved. so i try not to be too critical.

in the seventies there was starvation in biafra. the inuit of old keewatin signed over all their money, back accounts welfare cheques etc, to send to biafra, because they were people who experienced their friends and family starving to death. this embarrassed the canadian government to pony up the money and return the inuit donattions. they were poor but remembered starvation well. things like taht should be rememered when you chow down on a gormet meal of mice!!!
