Sea ice around Nova Scotia is so thick, Canadian sealers will have trouble meeting Quebecs growing demand for grey seal meat.
Weve never had trouble meeting demand, but for 2018, well have to see, Réjean Vigneau, president of the Intra-Quebec Sealers Association, told CBC News.
CBC reports that crews usually haul in 2,000 seals during the winter season, but two failed expeditions in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence since January turned up nothing.
Vigneau called it catastrophic for the working men of the Magdalen Islands who depend on seal hunting for their livelihood, and to the environment. This year, thick sea ice off Nova Scotia thwarted seal hunters.

Looked up poutine (fries, cheese & gravy). Grey seal & poutine sounds like heart attack on a plate. Maybe it wards off the Arctic cold for Quebeckers.

Looked up poutine (fries, cheese & gravy). It needs bacon. And not Canadian bacon.

Cool picture. That poor critter probably didn’t last for too long after the picture was taken.

The winter weather this year has been more east(cold) and west(Warm) than north and south due to a giant Rossby Wave in the jet stream that has been locked into place since mid-December.
While it has been very cold in the US east of the Rockies, the country west of the Rockies including California the SW, Pacific Northwest, western Canada and Alaska has been much warmer than normal.
So record ice in Eastern Canada is not surprising.

Obviously caused by human induced climate change. Its colder because its warmer, see?

You beat me to it.
If the ice is so thick that may explain why the polar bears are starving. Bring on summer and O Sole Mio!!!
