Mohawks Delete A Page From PET"s Red Book...

Joseph Quesnel: Respecting human rights applies to Mohawks too
Posted: March 03, 2010, 1:15 PM by NP Editor Filed under: Joseph Quesnel
If the Mohawk community of Kahnawake wanted a way to end up on the six o'clock news, attempts to evict 26 non-Natives from their reserve was the perfect way to do it. As most readers now know, those not meeting the Kahnawake reserve's community membership code-- many are involved in romantic relationships with Mohawks and some are long-time caregivers for resident members -- were given 10 days to leave. As of this writing, only 12 of the 26 have responded. Now the band council says they will publicly post the names of those who have not left if they fail to meet this deadline. The core, obvious problem in Kahnawake is that Pierre Trudeau's famous admonition that the "state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation," has been tossed out as Mohawk leaders openly discourage Mohawks from entering into relationships with non-Mohawks.

I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
