Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner Julian Fantino has a rather sinister track record, one that includes police brutality, racist policing, use of excessive force against protesters and bathhouse raids and other homophobic policing.
And now on the one year anniversary of the occupation of Caledonia by native activists protesting a housing development being built on what they claim is their land, the cries for Fantino to resign, once again rage with the ferocity of a banshee cry.
The latest storm of controversy to suck up the "Don of Commissioners" surrounds his bizarre e-mail sent warning the Haldimand County Mayor and councillors that he would hold them responsible for violence resulting from future anti occupation protests by a group known as "Caledonia Wake Up Call." The group is critical of the OPP's handling of the standoff with natives occupying a 40-hectare tract of land.
Fantino's e-mail rant was apparently triggered by one councillor's comments supporting the leader of that group, Gary McHale. The OPP boss then in true dictator fashion, took the sole initiative to villainize a man because he expresses a different opinion, calling him "a lightning rod for confrontation and potential violence."
The e-mail went on to say that if further violence resulted from a McHaleled protest, Commissioner Fantino would support any lawsuits filed by officers, would pass on the ensuing policing costs to the county and would recommend that the OPP not renew its contract with the county when it expires in September, 2008.
Caledonia tax payers need to wake up their city council and demand their voices be heard. Fantino needs to leave and a new police force brought in to restore public trust. The man is an out of control bully with way too much power, and before he does something completely stupid that could potentially cost lives he should be replaced.
Long live free speech.

Canada,New Zealand worlds apart when dealing with aboriginal issues
Even as Canada’s longest running aboriginal standoff closes in on its one-year anniversary, the Six Nations occupation of a former housing development site in Caledonia, Ontario is not going too end anytime soon and is destined to get even dirtier.
Negotiators on both sides can't find a way to resolve the 200-year-old land claim and end the year-long occupation are still working on basic parts of the land claim, and are no where near bringing an end to a dispute that has torn apart this picturesque town.
While Canada continues to deal with treaty issues in a painfully slow manner, I found this article that proves that sometimes the hare wins the race. New Zealand continues to push forward a billion-dollar settlement plan with its indigenous Maori people, ensuring everything from land rights to language preservation.
According to the article, Canada has been aware of New Zealands judicial efficiency for some time. Canada has signed hundreds of treaties with First Nations groups. Some, such as the Douglas Treaties on Vancouver Island in the 1850s, even used wording from New Zealand treaties. But Canada has largely let the courts interpret First Nations land, New Zealand, meanwhile, created a standing commission called the Waitangi Tribunal to work with the courts and government.
The New Zealand tribunal travels to aboriginal communities on fact-finding missions. It compares each claim with the Waitangi Treaty of 1840, which gave the British sovereignty over New Zealand in exchange for ensuring Maori land rights.
The tribunal accepts evidence a court would not, such as traditional songs, stories and hearsay of the Maori people, said Williams, chief judge of the tribunal and Maori Land Court. It also handles complaints about modern-day government policies infringing on aboriginal rights.
This is a unique solution to a tough problem and certainly worthy of consideration for the Caledonia problem. New Zealand will likely settle the majority of its treaty claims by 2020, for a mere $3 billion, while Canada will probably plod along wasting a lot more tax dollars than that.

100+ days of fear, anger in Caledonia
On October. 26, 2005 the first stone was cast when Six Nations Chief David General wrote to Henco Industries, warning of the dangers of developing the Douglas Creek Estates subdivision on native land. The warnings where ignored and on February 28, 2006 a small group of Six Nations protesters from the Grand River Territory reserve move onto the Caledonia construction site, erecting tents. Thus marking the beginning of a 100+ day seige in the small tranquill town of Caledonia.
The Six Nations protesters claim the land was stolen from them more than 200 years ago. They have been lied too, abused and used. But, please this does not give anyone the right to throw away all dignity and descend to a sub-human level.
"I urge Aboriginal people to maintain non-violent protest in the example of Ghandhi. However, I give my blessing to any Aboriginal person touched without their permission to respond in the appropriate manner, always and only in response to the choices made by individual police officers."
-a compassionate plea from Brendan Cross the former leader of The First Nations Party of Saskatchewan and a policy speechwriter for The First Peoples National Party of Canada
Here is my look at the crisis through the eyes of 100+ individuals captured in print, video and pictures. I hope this post delivers a balanced, educated view of the situation and is in no way meant to judge either side.
...The Ontario government has revealed it's buying out the developer whose housing complex has been hit by the demonstrators. The ongoing dispute about who owns the land where Henco Industries built its new homes has hit the company's finances hard.
The natives claim the land is theirs. The government maintains they surrendered it in the 1800s...(June 16)
...violent setback was symptomatic of what's been a stressful and exhausting ordeal for everyone involved, and tensions could easily explode again...
...Protesters say police were armed with M16 rifles, tear gas, pepper spray and Tasers, and subdued a number of people with shocks from the Tasers and pepper-spray. A spokeswoman for the protesters said one female protester was "beaten by five OPP officers." OPP would later deny that excessive force was used(April 20)...
...Sam George, whose brother Dudley was killed by an OPP sniper during a stand-off at Ipperwash Provincial Park, calls for calm and urges authorities to treat the protesters fairly(April 21)...
...3,000 Caledonia residents hold a rally in the evening, calling on authorities to end the standoff. Later that night, about 500 residents confront police and native protesters at the blockade(April 24)...
...Haldimand County Mayor Marie Trainer infuriates protesters when she tells CBC Newsworld that Caledonia residents "have to get to work to support their families. If they don't go to work, they don't get paid and if they don't get paid then they can't pay their mortgages and they lose their homes(April 25)...
...Vandals shut down a transformer station in Caledonia, cutting power to thousands of residents in surrounding Norfolk and Haldimand counties.
In the evening, the Emergency Response Team of the OPP arrives in riot gear to shore up the police barrier between the native and non-native protestors(May22)...
...Two revelations were experienced by Edwards right then-- the underlying racism First Nations people are forced to live with and the fact protesters thought they could rely on the power of the media to alleviate the pressures they were experiencing by the presence of the OPP.
As for the Ipperwash crisis and in part Sam George's demands for the truth, Edwards said he hopes for better treatment towards the protestors in Caledonia as a result of the growing awareness against racism.
...'We want to keep this moving forward and rebuild the trust,' says Six Nations Chief MacNaughton...
...two levels of government and the Six Nations are back at the table urging natives and Caledonia residents alike to remain calm as efforts continue to "rebuild trust"
... Strip away the land-claim issue, the barricades, the anger and the violence, and the conflict at Caledonia comes down to two sets of people living in the same place with totally different approaches to organizing their societies.
...The rule of law is a basic underpinning of a civilized and equitable society. It assumes an understanding of the need for everybody to obey the law. It's a principle that is suffering immense damage in Caledonia.
...two CH TV cameramen were injured, an elderly couple harassed in an Argyle Street parking lot and a vehicle belonging to the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) was taken and allegedly driven at a police officer...
...When a group of people attack two members of the media in front of several police officers who refuse to render assistance and when other members of this same police group show up in full riot gear to confront restless residents, I lose faith in our elected representatives to come to grips with what is becoming anarchy.
The natives are flouting the law and thumbing their noses at authority...
...How can Kwinter, the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, reasonably expect non-native citizens to practice restraint and tolerance, when the First Nations people have displayed anything but those qualities...
... Businesses and homeowners that have suffered the consequences of an aboriginal blockade in Caledonia, Ont., have no choice but to file a class-action lawsuit to recoup tens of millions of dollars in losses...
... Angry residents living next to the Douglas Creek Estates say they'll protect their homes and families if the OPP won't...
...There have been so many incidents escalating in intensity on an almost daily basis, but they are not producing a favourable result for anyone involved. Violence is increasing, tempers are reaching the boiling point, yet there is no resolution. Innocent people and their safety are being jeopardized...
...Ontario Provincial Police are trying to recover classified documents containing the identities of undercover officers and operational details concerning the native occupation...
...Ontario has slammed the door on Caledonia negotiations until natives clear their barricades and help police find six wanted men...
...Friday's incidents in Caledonia can only be interpreted as political correctness run amok. The facts reported in several media point either to a blatant disregard of the rule of law, or to fear of being labelled anti-native on the part of the Ontario Provincial Police...
...Caledonia might well be the Wild West...
...Time to return the land taken piecemeal from the natives...
...do something before the blood starts flowing...
... Renegades. Hotheads. Troublemakers. They exist in every situation, in every camp, in every faction. There's always someone who would rather throw a punch, or a brick, than not...
...For all of my 35 years (with the Hamilton Police Services), I followed Canadian police stories and cases from coast to coast and never have I heard of a case where Canadian police officers stood by and watched citizens being beaten by thugs. Yet it has now happened -- in Caledonia...
...On the first evening he spent at home during a two-week leave from his tour of duty in Afghanistan, Sgt. Daryl Shuch slept through the sounds of police helicopters and angry protesters.
He was tired after his 27-hour journey from Kandahar to Caledonia, Ont., and the turmoil outside his door barely registered compared to the battles he witnessed during his Canadian military service....
...The minister responsible for the OPP is defending the force's strategy in the Caledonia standoff, saying an aggressive OPP intervention would make the situation much worse....
...In a strange twist to the Caledonia standoff, natives protesters have come to the defence of the Ontario Provincial Police...
... One of the television cameramen who was beaten up during a scuffle with protesters Friday said he's seriously considering taking legal action against the Ontario Provincial Police for dereliction of duty...
... Several hundred angry Caledonia residents confronted OPP in full riot gear late last night as the standoff with native protesters grew progressively more tense throughout the evening...
...Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty condemned the violence that saw two CH cameramen taken to hospital yesterday after a scrimmage with natives...
...We want to congratulate the people of Caledonia who came forward and formed their own barricade...
...The OPP officers assigned to the native standoff did little to bolster the confidence of the people they're supposed to protect by admitting they are concerned about their own safety...
... Federal cabinet minister and local MP Diane Finley is urging Queen's Park to send police into a housing site occupied by native protesters to clear them out in an effort to return the town to "normalcy."...
...The letter writer describes the native protests as justified and the counter-protests of the townsfolk as "racist-based."
Like perhaps most non-native Canadians, I agree with much of the natives' stand on land claims and other issues.
When the letter writer dismisses the reaction of the people of Caledonia as simple racism, I'm frankly not sure if she's taking a negotiating position or is truly sincere.
If sincere, I feel she, too, doesn't properly understand her neighbours. The natives made a classic mistake by using the townsfolk as "cannon fodder" in their dispute with the government...
... It's disturbing that Ontario Provincial Police officers on duty in Caledonia don't feel safe...
... OPP officers assigned to the native standoff in Caledonia say their bosses have put their public image ahead of officer safety and law and order...
...First Nations chiefs from across Ontario pledged their support to Caledonia protesters yesterday, and warned governments to expect more occupations if native land claims aren't settled...
...Caledonia: Idiot thinking at its worst...
...Prayer is most powerful ... It worked here' (May 25) and 'Let's Shake on It! Caledonia Impasse Ends; Natives, residents reopen Argyle St (May 24)...
...MAKE THEM GO; Lawyer urges judge to force end to standoff...
...Only in politics could history be of such fleeting importance. Only in politics could the party that so vigorously rejected calls for an inquiry into its own handling of a native standoff turn around and demand an inquiry into the Dalton McGuinty government's handling of a native issue that is still in the process of being resolved....
... The fragile peace in Caledonia was shattered last night with events apparently being sparked by an OPP cruiser taking a wrong turn...
... The citizens of Caledonia seem to take pride in making reference to welfare money given to people of the Six Nations. Based on these comments and the stigma they implied, one is forced to assume there are not, nor never have been, any residents of Caledonia who at some period of their lives have had to rely on welfare...
... I cannot understand how our prime ministers, both in the current situation in Caledonia and in the past at Ipperwash, did not consider a war in our own country to be their priority. If Stephen Harper wishes to be remembered as an outstanding prime minister, he should make the native Canadian problem his to be solved...
... The OPP has launched numerous criminal investigations relating to the occupation of Douglas Creek Estates, including activities on an adjacent hydro right of way and the blockade of a rail line...
... Ontario's Minister for Aboriginal Affairs says the province has done all it can to solve the problem in Caledonia and now it's time for Ottawa to step in...
