Illegal Occupation of Caledonia By Natives Marks Second Year

Opposition Calls on McGuinty Liberals to Restore Rule of Law

Story here.

John Tory cited the growth of the illegal cigarette industry, the struggles of developers on the Grand River and the spread of native blockades across Ontario as proof that lawlessness has become rampant throughout the First Nations community at large.

“(Premier) Dalton McGuinty's Liberals are letting respect for the law — the backbone of our entire system — crumble and we just can't stand by and let it happen,” Mr. Tory said.

“We live in Ontario, not the OK Corral. It's time the actions of Ontario's premier and his government reflect that.”

First Nations protesters first descended on the disputed former housing development in February 2006. The province has since purchased the land, but the blockade persists while negotiations continue, much to the dismay of local residents.

Clearly, this is racism. One "race", Natives, is being raised above all others, comprising the People of Caledonia whose land is under illegal occupation under and before the law, and this violates the Charter's equality provisions. Oh, how nice, those Liberal Fascists. Now they're racists, too.

The Conservatives are asking the government to state clearly that there is but “one rule of law for everyone” in the province and to produce a policy making it clear it will not negotiate with any group involved in an illegal occupation.

Mr. Tory also wants a commitment from the government that it will not stand in the way of police and that it will launch an independent review of the “chaos presently enveloping our justice system.”

Well, Ontario, this is what you re-elected. This is obviously what those who voted Liberal wanted. Lawlessness and racism. Congratulations. That's what you still have!
