Nova Scotia's lobster industry faces violence, with 51 charges in two years linked to fishing disputes.

In Nova Scotia's lobster industry, intimidation and violence have surged, with 51 charges laid by police over two years, including four shots fired into homes. Lobster buyer Geoffrey Jobert faced a shot through his home, amid tensions over illegal fishing. The conflict stems partly from government inaction at Saulnierville wharf, where a Mi'kmaq fishery began in 2020 outside regulated seasons. Jobert calls for Ottawa to increase enforcement to restore peace.
