McGuinty calls for end to occupation in Caledonia
Canadian Press
TORONTO â Premier Dalton McGuinty is calling on Six Nations members to end their long-running occupation of a housing development site in Caledonia, near Hamilton.
McGuinty says the continuing occupation, which began in late February, means the potential for danger in the area remains high.
He says the government has done what it could "to take the land out of the equation" by negotiating to buy the property from the developer.
McGuinty says it would be "very helpful" if the occupation was to come to an end, and the aboriginal protest lines dismantled.
Opposition leader John Tory says it's about time McGuinty called for an end to the occupation, and accuses the premier of weak leadership in handling the dispute.
McGuinty says there's no need for the Six Nations protesters to continue the occupation, adding the community has the government's attention.
"Boy did they get our attention," he told reporters Thursday.
Meanwhile, an Ontario Superior Court judge has ordered key players in the land dispute - including the Ontario and federal governments - to return to court June 29.
Justice David Marshall wants to know why police still haven't followed his three-month-old order to evict the aboriginals from the Douglas Creek Estates.
