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.

Cayuga builder authorizes CANACE to gather evidence for criminal charges

UPDATE 2210 EST July 08/08: Two native protesters now face a total of 9 charges for Intimidation, Mischief and Extortion in connection with illegal occupations and construction shut-downs thanks to CANACE. See, ‘CANACE ‘extortion’ charges certified by Ontario Court of Justice.’

UPDATE 1134 EST May 22/08: National Post story: Police probe First Nations’ fees. The OPP is now going to conduct an apparently reluctant investigation into the extortion tactics used by the HDI, but builders should not expect any charges to be laid by the police. No doubt the OPP’s decision to announce their ‘investigation’ and the recent CANACE announcement that we intend to lay charges for Mischief and Extortion is merely a coincidence.

UPDATE 2228 May 16/08: 1. The Cayuga builders were able to connect the main water line to their development today.  OPP were particularly helpful in convincing native protesters to ‘allow’ the work to be done. 2. Links to Tekawennake News coverage added.

On May 12/08 a Cayuga builder, whose construction site has been repeatedly blocked by native protesters demanding money in return for an end to the blockades, signed a form authorizing CANACE to enter the property and gather evidence for the purpose of laying criminal charges. The OPP have so far refused to put a stop to the illegal activities, and so the builder turned to CANACE for help.

——————————————-

CANACE is pleased to announce that our latest report – Legalized MYTHS of Illegal Occupations – was presented to a crowd of 90 people at a packed hall in Cayuga, Ontario on May 07/08 who gave us and our report a very warm welcome, especially when CANACE’s Director of Research Mark Vandermaas summed up the last two years of state-enabled lawlessness:

“Once you strip away the myths and the lies they are predicated upon, the so-called ‘justification’ of race-based policing offered by the OPP and the McGuinty government is nothing more than liberalist-ideology-gone-insane hidden inside a house of cards surrounded by smoke and mirrors.”

CANACE presentation: ‘LIES OPP tell Builders’

Canadian Advocates for Charter Equality will be presenting ‘LIES OPP tell Builders’ in the Cayuga Lions Hall next Wednesday. This presentation – based on our newest report of the same name – will expose the fabrications used by the OPP and native protesters to mislead land owners and the public about the right of native protesters to commit illegal activities.

CANACE founders hit back at Fantino/Bryant defamation

On April 23, 2008, just one day after personally serving Aboriginal Affairs Minister Michael Bryant with notices under the Libel and Slander Act for his public comments about CANACE Director of Research Mark Vandermaas and his complaint to the Ontario Human Rights Commission and about CANACE co-founder Gary McHale, OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino appeared on the John Oakley Show on AM640 Toronto Radio and and – once again – falsely accused both men of being ‘involved’ in violence and having a violent agenda.

On April 22/08 Mr. Vandermaas served Minister Bryant with notices under the Libel and Slander Act on behalf of himself and Mr. McHale just before the start of his meeting with Haldimand Council while the Minister was going around the room shaking hands. See VoiceofCanada article for video.

CANACE report: Ontario deserves a full and fair inquiry into landclaim lawlessness

On March 14, 2007 CANACE co-founders Mark Vandermaas, Gary McHale and longtime Ipperwash resident/community leader Mary-Lou LaPratte held a news conference in the Queen’s Park Media Room to release The Ipperwash Papers project, 400+ documents that show how the Ipperwash Inquiry suppressed all evidence of native crimes against innocent residents.
