I have lived all my life in Brantford until I moved to Waterford a couple of years ago. We experienced the native situation when they protested in Caledonia.
I must admit I am a little ignorant about the issues with the natives but what is going on in Brantford is wrong. Someone is going to be killed if this continues.
I was at a native store and they were talking about banding together many natives to go and rally. This situation is just going to escalate.
What I would like to know is why isn't the federal government involved? It made all the problems in the first place. What I don't understand is why are the natives protesting now after all these years. When the natives are asked why they are protesting all they say is "It is our land."
Why now, though? Are they just doing this to receive more money from the government? This land is nowhere near their reserve and there are already many homes and businesses in this area. Why didn't they protest before now? I just don't understand this situation. Maybe you could answer this for me.
