New CANACE corporation, new CANACE website

UPDATED 1825 EST July 31/08

Until recently, CANACE existed as an informal group of activists working together for a common goal. As our credibility grew, however, potential donors and supporters made it clear they wanted to see CANACE become formalized and more accountable.

With the help of donors from inside and outside Caledonia, we have now registered a federal corporation as we continue to move forward with the struggle to preserve the rule of law in Ontario and promote reconciliation between native and non-native peoples based on truth, justice and respect for the rights of all citizens regardless of race or grievance.

CANACE counters T.R.U.E. attempt to rewrite Caledonia history

The Brantford Expositor today published a letter written by CANACE President and Executive Director Gary McHale intended to expose the attempt by a group called ‘Two Row Understanding Through Education’ (TRUE) to blame the media for the well-deserved black-eye native extremists are receiving in the media.

Mr. McHale made it clear that CANACE believes that if true healing is to begin, native extremists owe an apology to the innocent victims – both native and non-native – of their lawlessness, and that CANACE will not allow them to rewrite history:

CANACE files 32 new charges: Extortion, Intimidation

CANACE Executive Director Gary McHale today filed a total of 32 new charges against 8 different individuals involved in alleged extortion, illegal smoke shacks, illegal occupations and road blockades in Caledonia, Cayuga, Hagersville and Caledonia.

These charges have yet to be certified before a judge before a summons or warrant for arrest can be issued.

More charges will be filed in coming weeks. See news release for complete details:

CANACE news release, July 15/08 (UPDATED Aug 12/08):

Today’s charges are in addition to the 9 already certified against Floyd and Ruby Montour for Extortion, Intimidation and Mischief neither of whom have been convicted at trial and are, therefore, presumed innocent until proven guilty.

CANACE editorials: Canadian justice not for sale

On July 13/08 CANACE issued three strongly worded editorials to aggressively confront an attempt by a coalition of Brantford builders called the Haldimand Tract Good Neighbours Coalition to sell out Canadian justice by urging municipalities to turn over taxpayers’ monies to the Haudenosaunee Development Institute (HDI), an organization that has shut down development sites in Hagersville, Cayuga and Brantford with intimidation and illegal occupations.

OPP tell CANACE: Land Title deeds do NOT prove ownership

UPDATED 1158 EST June 13/09

On May 12/08 a Cayuga builder authorized CANACE to gather evidence to support criminal charges against natives who had shut down their townhouse development. CANACE co-founder Jeff Parkinson was filming as Executive Director Gary McHale asked the OPP site commander Sergeant Michaud for an explanation as to why he and his officers were refusing to enforce the law – and received a shocking admission:

Sgt. Michaud explains that Ontario's Land Title deeds are NOT sufficient proof of ownership for the OPP. May 12/08

Video 1: shows, A: the Sergeant explaining that land title deeds are not sufficient to prove land ownership to the OPP’s satisfaction and B: that the OPP is being directed by the Crown Attorney not to enforce the law.

This conversation took place just 5 days after CANACE released its ‘Legalized MYTHS of Illegal Occupations‘ report in which we exposed the complete lack of legal justification for allowing native protesters to victimize property owners.

CANACE fights for Canadians against incredible odds

UPDATED 1135 EST July 26/08

UPDATE 2153 EST July 08/08: CANACE ‘extortion’ charges certified by Ontario Court of Justice. Two native protesters now face total of 9 charges for Intimidation, Mischief and Extortion thanks to CANACE Executive Director Gary McHale.

This article was excerpted from a VoiceofCanada piece, ‘McHale wins judicial review hearing in Cayuga court!,’ in which CANACE Director of Research Mark Vandermaas provided some insight into the enormous price paid by CANACE Executive Director Gary McHale to oppose race-based policing in Ontario in order to dramatize the amazing accomplishments of a man who has every reason to give up, but refuses to do so.

CANACE scores a victory in Court

“I am offended by the actions of Inspector McLean.”
Judge Marshall, July 04/08
McHale judicial review
Ontario Superior Court, Cayuga, ON

On July 02/08, Mr. McHale was in court for a pre-trial session that went very poorly for the Crown. See VoiceofCanada article link below, ‘McHale gives Crown bad headache.’

CANACE is pleased to advise that CANACE won another victory on July 04/08 during a judicial review in a Cayuga courtroom when Judge Marshall agreed with Mr. McHale that Justice McDonald erred during Mr. McHale’s Bail Variation hearing in December 2007 once OPP Inspector McLean refused to appear.
