On October 13, 2020, a mob of non-Indigenous fishermen trapped and harassed two Mi’kmaq fishermen inside of a lobster pound in West Pubnico, Nova Scotia, Canada. Jason Marr, one of the targeted fishermen of the Sipekne’katik First Nation, initially headed to the lobster pound when he heard of a plan to seize and release Mi’kmaq lobster catches back into the bay. According to Marr, he and fellow harvester Randy Sack were accosted by approximately 200 people at the lobster pound who proceeded to throw rocks in the windows, kick the doors, and set ablaze Marr’s van.
