The Caledonia Saga continues....

The Honorable Court Justice David Marshall is pissed off. Why is he pissed off? Because his injunction and order to remove the native protestors from Douglas Creek Estates has not yet been enforced. He is angry and demanding enforcement even though it really is a mute point at this time. You see, the Ontario government has bought the disputed land from the developers, therefore rendering the injunction granted, to Henco Industries, nullified. The judge went on and on in court about the rule of law needing to be followed in a democratic society. He is right. However as a learned man, he should also know that brute forceable removal is not always an option or answer. Especially considering the historical proof that such force can be deadly.

Is there a lower value to be placed on a native person's life or rights? Does their blood flow with less importance, as the big money machines that wish to impose there massive concrete villages on beautiful natural landscapes? I think not.

While I completely understand his frustration, I did not see him offering resolution or compromises or suggestions to end this in a peaceable manner. His orders were simple "REMOVE THEM". Would he have been happier if the OPP had went in and removed everyone, but killed a couple of Indians in the process?

I am of no use today....I'm on a tangent. So I will end this now. Perhaps later I can come back a discuss this a little more logically.
