Can you believe that the price of Lobsters is so low that we were shipping them to Canadian processing plants? Our fishermen are on the edge of going under and Canada was importing our cheap Lobsters because their season is not yet open. Yesterday, a gang of NB Lobstermen stopped an American truck and kept it there with the fridge doors open for 6 hours! The driver was threatened with bodily harm if he ever comes back. The Police stood there and did NOTHING!
Our fishermen didn't raise hell last spring when we were importing cheap Canadian Lobsters! We don't raise hell when we see fleets of trucks hauling Canadian lumber into Maine! As you know, some of my favorite people are Canadians, but none of those vandals qualify.
