I have read at least two other boards that "Tsi" has blogged on. I stopped posting on the reclamation site as his responses were so disgusting when speaking of the "colonialists" or "settlers". On the non-native board he was caught posting as numerous other people, and was just stirring the pot...making racist comments disguised as a non native. Such an honourable person. I am glad to see that their reputation is getting "out there". If these people posting here are representative of those natives sitting at the negotiating table, I can not see how the negotiations will progress any more quickly than what they already were before the "militant" wing took over. Welcom to the world that Caledonia is living in!

My impression in reading was that the two are actually separate. Jarvis invested trust funds in the Grand River Navigation Company......I didn't think there was a direct connection to the Plank Road surrender. Can you give me your reference. In the statement of defense, the government contends that the money was paid back: http://www.caledoniawakeupcall.com/documen...5%20lawsuit.pdf Thirdly: I keep hearing reference to the fact that natives who fought in the war were promised land and never received it as the non-whites did. What war is this? I am only aware that people were entitled to VLA LOANS to assist in purchasing property and education loans to send their kids to university. Can somebody fill me in on this? Fourthly: It has been explained that they had to stop this subdivision. I can appreciate their fervour. However, why then are they choosiing to attempt to finish the 10 houses that are already up in time for the cold winter coming. Personally, I find it somewhat hypocritical that they fight against new houses and now want to actually live in them. (Letter from Hazel Hill asking for building supplies to finish houses.) Well, those are some of my observations and I look forward to hearing back...hopefully not from Tsi the sausage man!

[ Hi...this is my first post and I am really enjoying reading the comments. Some of the names I recognize from other boards that I have visited. I would like to clarify a couple of things: Firstly, although the government has promised the business people of Caledonia funds for losses incurred, the only people that can take advantage of this are the ones who almost had to declare bankruptcy. People with viable business that just took a 30 - 50% hit, stand to gain nothing (but still lose lots). Unfortunately, they have not only lost their native business (not all but some) but have also lost out on the surrounding community business. People who constantly see pictures in the media of burning bridges and people with masks and camo gear tend to not want to visit your town (go figure). The government will pay out most of the money in administration of the fund. Secondly: Wrong again Professor! It was all done at the hands the (1832-1844) Grand River Navigation Company. More appropriately the great Samual Jarvis, John Dunn rip-off. My impression in reading was that the two are actually separate.
