Ontario's Mohawk Justice System Loses Another Round - Charges dropped against white folk charged with being white folk

CAYUGA Law and order activist Gary McHale is planning another protest at the scene of a six-year-old native occupation in Caledonia after trespassing charges were dropped against the so-called Caledonia Eight for entering the property last year.The charges against the eight, including McHale, were dropped Friday afternoon by the Crown when the group made their second appearance in court in regards to the Dec. 3 protest.

There is hope for Canada’s First Nations

Ken Coates and Greg Poelzer: Harper’s meetings this week with First Nations leaders have a quiet urgency about them. It has been a long while since there was a First Nations meeting of this importance.

John Ivison: Pragmatic PM looks ahead as Chiefs air old grievances

The Crown-First Nations gathering in Ottawa was a classic example of a failure to communicate.
Both Prime Minister Stephen Harper and National Chief Shawn Atleo recognized the history of Canada’s relations with its First Nations as a register of crimes and misfortunes. Both paid lip-service to the idea of unlocking the potential of aboriginal Canadians.
But they talked past each other when it came to moving forward.

Matt Gurney: A native uprising isn’t likely, but it’s possible
Led by a charismatic young leader, small groups of natives strike a series of Canadian military bases and launch terrorist attacks in major Canadian cities. While the numerically tiny and underequipped Canadian Army scrambles to respond, a second wave of attacks by native insurgents bring Canada’s petroleum industry and electrical generation capability to a halt, causing economic disruption and blackouts in the United States. Eventually, the U.S. mounts a major military incursion into Canadian territory to restore order and stabilize their own economy.
That is all confined to fiction — namely, Canadian military expert Douglas Bland’s 2010 novel Uprising. But while the prospect of a native insurgency in Canada admittedly seems a remote threat, it is a real one, and something that Canadian strategic planners, who plan for pretty much every scenario, must consider.

National Post editorial board: More injustice from Caledonia
National Post Editorial Board Dec 27, 2011 – 6:03 PM ET

The Liberal government of Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty has been rightly criticized for allowing race-based policing to prevail during the native occupation of a land development site near the town of Caledonia, Ont. After natives forced construction activity to stop in a new housing development adjacent to Six Nations land in 2006, native activists also set up blockades on both public and private property. The native protesters were able to act with impunity while the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) concerned themselves with “peacekeeping.” Non-native Ontarians, however, including local residents, still found themselves subject to the law as per normal.
It was a disgraceful period in Ontario’s history. Unfortunately, as a recent criminal case related to the occupation reveals, it is clear that race-based justice remains the norm — for proof, one need look no further than the absurdly light sentence meted out to the native man who beat Sam Gualtieri nearly to death.

Chickens Come Home To Roost...

Rae ignores history of neglect
Great Canadian explorer Bob Rae journeys up to the deep north of Ontario over the weekend and discovers a Native community called Attawapiskat living in squalor on the shores of a mammoth bay named James.

Mr. Rae Visits Attawapiskat
The "enlightened" Bob Rae has pressed the flesh up north. And what did he conclude? That more dependency and continued no accountability is what the people of Attawapiskat need. What a cynical, uncaring man he is.
Two quotes of Albert Einstein come to mind:
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.

Lorne Gunter: The Indian Act sustains the problems on our reserves
Dec 6, 2011 – 2:49 PM ET Last Updated: Dec 6, 2011 3:08 PM ET
Last week, I wrote that political correctness was behind the mess at the troubles Ontario Cree community of Attawapiskat. Politicians and bureaucrats are worried about being labelled racist by aboriginal leaders, so they won’t call out the incompetence, nepotism, mismanagement and corruption that leads to the dysfunction that now paralyzes northern Ontario’s Cree reserves and more than 140 (of 630) other First Nations reserves across the country, which are under some form of direct or indirect management by Ottawa.
I stand by that assertion. There are simply too many examples of band politicians in communities of a few hundred people paying themselves more than the prime minister or their provincial premier, or new councils firing most of the employees on a reserve after an election and replacing them with friends and relatives (only to have the process reversed when the old councilors win re-election after the next vote and rehire their supporters), or incomplete records of payments made from band funds, or grants for firehalls or community centres that never get built (or get built but never get used).

‘No Whites Allowed’: more on yesterday’s arrest at Caledonia
By Kathy Shaidle on Monday, December 5th, 2011 No Comments

A reader sends in this photo, with the following comments:

...top of page

“Here’s my photo of the eight arrested Saturday for trespassing on ‘Ontario government’ land in Caledonia.
“The smiles are because immediately prior to this photo-taking, Gary McHale had informed OPP brass that all 8 arrests had been illegal.
“He produced documentary evidence that 16 acres—including, by design, the very spot where he was arrested—of the 100 acres of what was formerly known as Douglas Creek Estates’ actually still belong to Haldimand County, not the provincial government.
(The McGuinty government’s solution to the land dispute was to buy all available lands with our money and then allow only natives on it).
“Government instructions to police were to arrest any non-natives ‘trespassing’ on the now provincially-owned lands, but neither the police or the government had actually taken the trouble, as Gary had, to research all the deeds to the properties.
“The larger issue of racially-based policing is what’s really at stake here, of course, and that issue has just got a lot more negative publicity.”***I hear one of the arrestees will be talking to Brian Lilley on Byline tonight at 9pm ET

Jonathan Kay: A tiny decrepit slice of Attawapiskat, right here in my Toronto backyard

Dec 5, 2011 – 12:29 PM ET Last Updated: Dec 5, 2011 2:05 PM ET

There are exactly three houses in my neighbourhood that are owned by the Toronto Community Housing Corporation. These also happen to be the same properties that, for the last decade at least, consistently have appeared to be falling apart, and have garbage strewn over their lawns. Coincidence? Not quite.
It’s famously said that, in the history of the world, no one has ever washed a rented car. The same principle applies to real estate. The people who live in public-assistance properties aren’t necessarily any lazier or messier than the rest of us. But they have no economic motivation to beautify or maintain properties in which they have no economic interest. So they tend to let their living spaces fall into ruin and filth.
The difference between these properties and resident-owned properties is remarkable. The three city-owned properties I refer to in the first paragraph carry the street numbers 6,8 and 10. The property immediately to the north, number 12, is a world apart — a beautiful, well-maintained house that the owner has tastefully set apart from his neighbours with a wooden fence. The contrast couldn’t be more telling.
Now imagine a whole community of homes that contains no 12 — just variations on 6, 8 and 10 — a place where real-estate ownership is not only discouraged, but actually outlawed. Read More »
