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.

Brantford Expositor, July 30/08
Letter to Editor by Gary McHale,
Executive Director of CANACE
T.R.U.E. – Meeting held little truth [PDF]
———————————–
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 documented Caledonia’s agony
Mr. McHale’s letter included reference to CANACE reports and investigations which expose the human and economic costs of illegal occupations as well as the legal myths propagated by native protesters, the OPP and the Ontario government.

- CANACE report: The Human Costs of Illegal Occupations [PDF] (20,000+ downloads)
- CANACE report: Cost of Illegal Occupations [PDF] (13,000+ downloads)
- CANACE news release, July 13/08: OPP tell CANACE: Land Title deeds do NOT prove ownership
Mr. McHale’s letter mentions the fact that the Summer 2008 issue of the prestigious Ryerson Review of Journalism has recognized the contributions of both CaledoniaWakeUpCall and VoiceofCanada in an article entitled, ‘Disputed Land, Failed Coverage.’
CANACE documented forgotten Ipperwash victims and the attempt to cover up their stories
CANACE has also documented the forgotten victims of native extremists in Ipperwash and the awful legacy for other Ontario communities of the Ipperwash Inquiry’s deliberate suppression of evidence.

- The Ipperwash Papers project: www.IpperwashPapers.ca
In 2007 the Western Standard magazine interviewed and quoted both Mary-Lou LaPratte, CANACE’s Ipperwash Liaison, and Mark Vandermaas, Director of Research along with National Post commentator Andrew Coyne and University of Waterloo history professor, Dr. Whitney Lackenbauer in ‘Protection Racket: An Ontario judge glosses over illegal aboriginal acts at Ipperwash.’
