The warden of the Municipality of Argyle says he's worried about the safety of residents after a suspicious fire destroyed a lobster pound in Middle West Pubnico, N.S., early Saturday, amid ongoing tensions between commercial fishermen and Mi'kmaw fishers. Middle West Pubnico is a small community on the west coast of Nova Scotia, within the Municipality of Argyle. Mi'kmaw fishers were storing their catches at the facilities. Lannie Porter, who is from Woodstock First Nation in New Brunswick, joined the group of Mi'kmaw fishers at the wharf on Thursday. People from across the Atlantic provinces have been visiting the Saulnierville wharf, bringing fishing equipment and support for Mi'kmaw fishers.
