Native protestors warned :rofl:

The federal and Ontario governments are telling Six Nations leaders to stop aboriginal protesters from harassing local residents in Caledonia.
The ministers responsible for aboriginal affairs from each government have written Chief Allen MacNaughton seeking to ease the ``considerable degree of tension" in Caledonia.
The ministers blame the tension on harassment by some occupiers towards nearby residents, and on occasional "provocative actions" directed towards the protesters.
Aboriginals have occupied the site of a partially-built housing project in Caledonia since February, saying the land was wrongfully taken from them over 200 years ago.
The ministers warn Chief MacNaughton of the serious consequences of further disturbances in Caledonia.
They call for an end to "loud noises, firecrackers, bright lights from ATVs and other vehicles, and any other activities that disturb the peace in neighbouring areas."
Three people were injured in a fire Wednesday night in an unfinished home on the occupied housing site.
Six Nations firefighters attended the blaze, but a local resident says members of the Caledonia fire department had to standby idly in a nearby parking lot.
The province bought the Douglas Creek site last month and has allowed the protesters to stay while negotiations with the two levels of government continue.
But Premier Dalton McGuinty said Wednesday it was unacceptable for them to remain on the land over the winter.
What's the difference? Our Ontario government let them stay all year long, why not the whole winter too! Hmmmm....this could be another PR move by the government...... if they stay the winter, there could be a chance that some of the occupiers may freeze to death. If that happens the government will probably get lambasted for allowing them to freeze because we didn't supply them with adequate "everything they want" . Just like the homeless in TO.
it was unacceptable for them to remain on the land over the winter.
I see....because of the change in season , it's now become unacceptable for the insurgents to stay the winter. Whereas before the frost hits the ground, it appears to be acceptable!
