For years the Liberals have known that Indian-only fishery regulations are discriminatory and illegal, and two recent court rulings confirm this fact. Judge Kitchen called the regulations \u201cgovernment sponsored discrimination\u201d and Judge Saunderson called it a \u201cpolicy of political correctness\u201d.</p>\n<p>Why is the government appealing court rulings that restore equality to the west coast fishery to prop up a racist Indian-only fishing scheme?</p>",
