Caledonia Dispute

The premier has decided not to call an inquiry for the land dispute that has been going on for the last three years. McGuinty says that it is a matter of federal jurisdiction and it is not his job. There will be a public inquiry on the 28th of February if the call to the opposition forces one. The premier also says that he agrees with the O.P.P. fully and agrees with the residences that have come under fire by the police. This is telling the home owners that the Canadian government doesn’t care for them and wants nothing to due with them. The main reason that the people want an inquiry is because they want more land and with out the inquiry they don’t get their land. For the last months the residences have been signing a petition and have come under fire for doing so especially the MP of that area. There has been many outrageous fights between the homeowners and the aboriginals.

The whole Aboriginal thing I don’t agree with. They should pay taxes to use publically owned roads, they should have to obey by the law, they have to keep up with the up with the future. In my opinion everybody in Canada should have the EXACT same writes and freedoms, in saying that I'm sure that some aboriginal won't agree that they should pay taxes because the Europeans took their land, but look at all the other ethnic communities. They are all gaining in with the program and we should not have to pay for things that they are using. I'm positive that if I were an aboriginal I would not like this very much but If I wanted to be normal and not stuck in the 1800's that I'm sure that they would abide by it.
