There are ALWAYS jobs on the other side of the table working for the affected industries. And they are eager to hire.

2 boats had holds full of turbot, 1 flooded due to a faulty seacock. Free-surface effect w/ turbot (arrowtooth flounder) is a motherfucker

Also, as a former salmon farmer, at the time i was working (~11 yrs ago) 85% of my company's product was exported to the US. That's probably gone up since then*. Similarly, well over half of BC's groundfish trawl catch (rockfish, pollock, hake, pacific cod, sablefish) etc is sold to the US.
Lentils aren't on here, but if you're into lentils, Canada is the world's top producer. USA gets almost all of its imported lentils from us, and the next biggest importer of Canadian lentils is India.
We are BIG on lentils. (i am also personally big on lentils)

The start of this year's commercial fishing season could be a bust for fishermen who catch groundfish species like cod, haddock and flounder.
NOAA slowdowns and new science delay the usual 'scramble' to set fishing catch limits

Council members ask whether groundfish exclusion area can be paused after restoration delays
Council members raised procedural and legal questions about a groundfish exclusion area established under Amendment 34 that has not yet hosted the planned restoration activities; staff and general counsel said the rule is final and that rescission or suspension would require formal future action and coordination with NMFS.
