On evidence

The radio host fustigates and froths in his comparison between the way fisheries are managed in France and in Canada.

He points out the recent port-blocking protests by French fishermen, and says that in France, the government listens to their fishermen (who, in this case, are protesting for higher quotas or against quota cuts; take your pick.)

In Canada, meanwhile, the unlistening federal government was going to dole out shrimp to PEI, until politicians and the fishing industry in Newfoundland lashed back.

To summarize, then:

French fishermen are gaining such little headway in getting what they want from their government that they are blocking ports and marine traffic. This anecdote shows how the French government listens.

Newfoundland fishermen kick up a stink ("Speaking. Up. WORKS!", the radio host sagely advises) against their government, and the government backs down. This anecdote shows how the Canadian government doesn't listen.

Little surprise that the radio host is on an on-air first-name basis with a cabinet minister named Jerome. Neither of them lets evidence get in the way of a good anti-Confederate rant.
