G. Writes from Caledonia - Aug. 20, 2006

Time to WAKE UP. 

 Do you not realize that the Natives are NOT there to educate the people of Brantford?

 They are there to occupy the land.

 If it's true, that the Native's are staying there 24/7, then this is no longer an education centre.  I find it hard to believe that anyone in Brantford or anywhere for that matter, needs to be educated on Native land claims 24/7.

 When people don't leave the land and are there 24/7, the land has been claimed and occupied.  Bottom Line.  

 IT'S A LAND OCCUPATION, People!!!!!!

 Do the people of Brantford not understand that this is how Caledonia started out?  It started out as a lesson in Native land claims as well.  They occupied the Douglas Creek Estates and started handing out educational flyers in Caledonia just like they are doing in your town.

 Brantford needs a serious WAKE UP CALL.   

 Brantford residents, take note, YOU HAVE BEEN OCCUPIED.  Consider this your official warning.

 You say you don't want another Caledonia like situation, you have it neighbours, you just haven't admitted it yet. 

 Take off the blinders, take action, and take it now, or  be prepared to weather the damage to your towns economy, structure, and residents well being. 

 You all need to come and visit your neighbours next door and get a first hand look at what a Native occupation looks like. 

 While your visiting Caledonia, go and visit some of the people who have worthless property that borders the Native occupied land. You will be able to get a first hand account of how they have been terrorized over the past 6 months. 

 Hydro cut off, roads blocked, provincial highway dug up, bridges burned, barns burned, rail lines blocked, rocks thrown, phone lines cut, fences set on fire, gun shots at all hours of the night, children in school under lock down orders, no recess, eating lunch under desks, complete loss of any use of your back yard do to Natives throwing rocks, screaming obscenities, Natives using your back yard as a restroom, pigs guts thrown in hot tubs, ATV's running at all hours of the night with Native Warriors carrying weapons, music playing so loud you can't sleep at night, garbage burning 24/7 with a smell so bad, you have to go indoors to escape the stink, living under a curfew, police presence 24/7 that should make you feel safe, but doesn't, because they are afraid as well, town counsellors who do nothing, Provincial, and federal governments that do nothing.

This is what you have to look forward to, and this is just a small snapshot of life in Caledonia, there isn't enough room to fill you in on everything that has happened, but I know the residents can fill you in further if you're not too afraid to visit like the rest of the world.

Take a stroll down the empty main streets, that resemble a ghost town, and talk to some of the near bankrupt business owners of Caledonia, and hear how they are barely managing to hang on, because no one will come here anymore. 

Talk to some of the developers in town and hear how the most recent developer, who was going to build hundreds of new homes in Caledonia has now pulled out.  Too risky to build anything here now that Caledonia has been occupied.

Then and only then, will you realize this is not a friendly Native Education Centre. 

TIME TO WAKE UP, BRANTFORD. 

While you've been asleep, the Natives have occupied your land too. 

Shame on you all.  You all had prior warning, and have had the opportunity to see and witness, first hand what has happened to your neighbours next door in Caledonia.

If you let this continue, you, and only you, are to blame for what will happen to the town of Brantford.

Say Goodbye to any future residential or industrial development as every builder and big business owner will not want to take a chance of business interruption, and loss, after witnessing the disaster of what has gone on in Caledonia. 

This will really be a shame as Brantford was having a strong recovery in this area.

You don't want to finally wake up and realize, that your home or business, you've worked so hard for, is now not worth a cent.

WAKE UP BRANTFORD, THIS IS NOT A BAD DREAM YOU ARE HAVING, IT'S REALITY, NEIGHBOUR, IT'S THE BEGINNING OF YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE.

Brantford, TAKE ACTION NOW, NAP TIME IS OVER!!!!!
