Hagersville protest halts Caledonia talks toronto.ctv.ca
Talks to settle the Caledonia, Ont. land dispute came to a halt Wednesday after government negotiators left the bargaining table in protest of another native occupation.
Ontario's Minister of Aboriginal Affairs David Ramsay said the bargainers were displeased after Six Nations protesters gathered in Hagersville on Wednesday morning, where construction of a senior's condominium complex was underway.
"This kind of behaviour is not acceptable,'' said Ramsay. "We should have peace and
we should not have any further escalation."

HAGERSVILLE -- "See you at the next construction site." With a bandanna over his face, the words from the "Mohawk Warrior" didn't sound like they were meant to be a joke.
The next construction site? What developer will be prepared to risk hard-earned capital in this region! The last two who did ended up with a native occupation, construction halted and millions lost.
There may not be another construction site in Haldimand County for awhile since protestors here yesterday made it very clear if there is one they don't approve of, you will see red Mohawk flags.
