This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Herring is also a major staple food for us on the east coast of Canada. Stocks of Mackrel are at the lowest points ever recorded and the fishery has been shut. We all know about cod and Wild Atlantic salmon almost do not exist. Yet we are allowing ocean based fish farming companies that were shut down elsewhere to open all over the place here. Our politicians are courting these environmental disasters to create a minimal volume of low paid jobs in favor of destroying the very thing that keeps humanity alive. It's insane.
