When Jean-Luc Brassard opened his mailbox a few days ago, he made a gruesome, smelly discovery: the head of a decapitated fish, staring back at him.
The former Canadian ski champion says it was left there after he spoke out against illegal fishing near his home in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Que., along the St. Lawrence River. |

Earlier this month, Brassard, a 1994 Olympic gold medallist, went on 98.5 Montréal radio to denounce a group of fishers who reportedly frequent a spot near his property.
"They're poachers who come at night, and they arrive with their headlamps," he told host Luc Ferrandez. "And what they do is they take fishing rods with grappling hooks." |
