Developers of proposed 3rd Line water park hold public meeting

By Chezney Martin OHSWEKEN, ON — A community meeting and information session regarding the future construction of a water park on 3rd Line Road was held with Troy Montour, Raymond Montour and owner of the land base Patricia Montour in attendance on Wednesday, October 7.

Ross Johnson, Patricia Montour’s brother explained that the project is “a five year plan or longer.”

“This won’t just happen overnight,” stated Johnson. “There is a lot of preparation involved with this, but out of respect to the chief and council we told them what we’re going to do. The council passed its first and second

reading, so it’s good to go.”

“The request was for Troy and his family to have a community meeting,” said Johnson, adding that many projects are carried out without public consultation.

When asked about a non-native entity involved in the development, the Montours stated that their partnership with excavation & land rehabilitation company REXLAR is simply for grade A soil, and that the park will be completely “native owned.”

The family went on to explain that the development is intended to be a recreational space for Six Nations youth, with income generating opportunities possible for the community-at-large.

“I’m concerned with what the park will do for the kids, because that’s what this park is for” said Raymond Montour.

“But so many people are against everything, it’s hard,” he said. “We want to make it like the exhibition, where people are selling different things and showing different things, even showing different performances,” he said. “We want to put our stuff in there too; people could have their own displays, maybe even use it like a flea market if they want to,” he said.

In regards to providing a visual prototype of the park, an estimate as to how many jobs the park will bring to the Six Nations community, and an

idea of what the Montour family would like to name the park, Raymond Montour explained that nothing was solid yet.

“Right now we’re concentrating on getting the soil and getting the land ready, once we get that done, then we can do some serious planning,” said Montour. “We’ll start as soon as possible,” he said, indicating that the surrounding community businesses will profit from the people attracted by the park.

But, when asked about deforestation, habitat destruction, light pollution, added traffic and noise, the answers around the room were very vague.

Johnson responded to the influx of questions by

implying that the public consultation process can derail progress.

“I just sold 17 acres of land, and I’m buying another 50 acres of land and I’m clear-cutting the bush right off, I [am not] even going to council, because I need it for something else,” he said.

Dakota Brant, a community member attending the meeting, responded to Johnson, saying “We can’t keep doing what we want to do because we’re not going to have any of this pristine forest left.”

Troy Montour then responded by saying that the Men’s Fire “cut down all of the trees at the corner of 69,” and that it went without mention.

“What you’re saying

is reinforcing the point I’m trying to make,” Brant said, “everyone keeps doing these things themselves without thought of other people,” further explaining that she hopes her concerns might better prepare the project to have answers in the future.

Each of the questions and concerns were listened to by the Montour family. Although the answers to the questions were not definitive, both Troy and Raymond Montour and Ross Johnson eagerly reiterated that they have the interest of the children within and outside of the Six Nations community in mind by following through with the project.

2nd annual Zombie Run will raise funds for local family

By Chezney Martin

A 3km zombie run fundraiser will take place Saturday, October 24 at 10 am in Chiefswood Park with hopes of generating help and support for a Six Nations family.

Aysia Elizabeth Patterson, the infant daughter of Raven Hill and Robert Patterson, was born on September 5 with a rare disease known as Aicardi Syndrome. The disease has only 4000 cases worldwide, causing tolling seizures throughout the day for many individuals affected by it.

Aicardi Syndrome happens when the corpus callosum – an integral part of the brain structure which connects the two halves of the brain –

Zombies in character from the 2014 Zombie Run, which raised over $13,000.00 for Teiehkwa's Journey. FACEBOOK GROUP PHOTO is partially or completely missing. Though the disease is incurable, treatment is available and is based around the symptoms of the individual.

Artie Martin, mem-

ber of the Six Nations Zombie Run committee, expressed that choosing the recipient for this year’s fundraising event was a serious task.

“It was a big decision

to decide, like ‘who needs help, and who can we help this year?’” said Martin.

“I was watching Raven and Rob’s story unfold on Facebook, and I kept in touch through Facebook just to see how the pregnancy was going. So, we just want to help,” he said.

“Even if it doesn’t work out this year as well as it did last year, I still want to keep it going because it’s a healthy activity for people to participate in,” he said.

Last year, the fundraiser raised just over $13,000.00 for Teiehkwa’s Journey, supporting a Six Nations youth in her battle against leukemia.

Many individuals and businesses within Six Nations and the surrounding area offered to help

and support to the cause.

The 2014 the Zombie Run sold t-shirts, bracelets, raffle draw tickets; and with a response from 1,100 people in a handful of days, allowed 60 zombies to chase and “eat,” or steal flags from as many runners as possible.

This year, the fundraising event will once again offer financial help to the family in need. A keepsake banner listing all sponsors and their logos will also be given to the family.

Prizes at the event will include a “zombification” make-up session and photo shoot with special effects artist Samantha Doxtator, a one hour reading with medium Kim Hadfield and much more.

“We have pooled our resources for organizing this community led fundraiser, but we are still in need of donations to make the event a smash,” the committee said in a statement. In other words, outside of business donations, athletes interested in participating in the run can collect pledges to help the Patterson family with any and all financial burdens including treatment costs and travel to a specialist.

Those interested in supporting or donating to the cause can contact event organizer Artie Martin by cell or email; (519) 445-1968, or art@ redwhip.com. For more information, you can also search for Six Nations Zombie Run on Facebook.

“Our contract ended at the end of May, and in

Strike at Brantford Casino not over higher wages

By Jim Windle

BRANTFORD – The roulette tables could be spinning soon at the Brantford Casino after it was announced Saturday that a tentative agreement had been reached between OLG and UNIFOR. The tentative agreement — if ratified — would end the strike immediately.

The parking lot at Brantford’s OLG Casino is normally full, but has been all but empty recently, costing Ontario tens of thousands of dollars a day in the wake of a labour dispute involving UNIFOR casino workers.

The strike arose after the Province decided to privatize OLG casinos and began tampering

SNIPE reveals haunting footage taken at Chiefswood Museum

By Chezney Martin OHSWEKEN, ON — Six Nations Investigating Paranormal Encounters (SNIPE) teamed up with Chiefswood Museum to hold a moonlight paddle on the Grand, followed by a paranormal investigative tour of the museum last Friday evening as a part of a new fundraising initiative.

After the paddle, media representatives along with members of SNIPE gathered within the alcove of the museum to watch a video of SNIPE’s findings.

The group was escorted by Six Nations Cultural Coordinator, Heather George.

The video showcased both photos and videos of orbs or “witch lights,” faces in mirrors and windows, moving entities caught on camera and EVP [electronic voice phenomenon] readings showcasing human-like responses.

“We go through hours and hours of footage just to get those little split seconds that you gotta listen for,” said Todd “Ghost-

man” Thomas, a member of SNIPE. “Then plus after that, when we find an EVP we have to cut it down and amplify it up and clean it up so we can make out what is being said, or determine if it was one of us,” he said. “You go into places and it’s really not all that exciting, I mean a lot of the time you’re just sitting there, waiting for any little noise,” he said, mentioning that in the future the team would like to buy heat sensor cameras to join their cameras and EVP recorders.

Shortly after the video finished, Heather George walked the group through the house. After some problems in opening the attic door, George explained that the adjoining room (which belonged to Pauline’s sister Evelyn Johnson) has a history of unusual activity.

“This is the room with an orb in it,” said George.

“And one of the strange things about this room is there is the panel on the bed; there were two photos on the little side desk

This photograph taken of a mirror at Chiefswood Museum has an image of a face, according to SNIPE members. PHOTO COURTESY OF SNIPE

as well and they kept falling over. One day I came up and the panel was sitting perfectly straight but on the floor instead of on the bed, so it didn’t fall over,” she explained.

Soon after the tour of the house, the group was directed to a room on the lower floor in the house, nicknamed the “piano room.” SNIPE members pointed out a mirror in this room and shared that

a photograph had been taken that shows a face in the mirror. George added that the room tends to have a freshly lit fire scent to it, even though a fire hasn’t been lit in the room for years.

The EVP session began and Artie Martin, another SNIPE member, explained feelings of unease that he has had at another local site — the Mohawk Institute in Brantford.

“When we were at the residential school, I felt good everywhere. I felt good in the children’s room, the boy’s room, even behind the wall where it’s pitch black,” said Martin, explaining that he sat there for a half hour.

“But, there’s a fridge in the kitchen in the basement, and I couldn’t go near it, not by myself,” he said. “It’s a big walk-in freezer and I couldn’t go in there; I don’t want to say I wasn’t scared, but it just didn’t feel good to be in that area.” Martin went on to explain that he later learned this was an area where traumatic events befell many of the

students who attended the institution.

“You feel differently when you’re in a negative space,” said Martin. “Like something might happen.

You can feel the negativity, or someone watching you and it’s eerie, but you can feel a presence. Even if you’re sitting at home at your house, you can tell if someone else is in the house, it’s sort of like that,” he explained.

The topic of conversation in the group changed shortly thereafter, with members mentioning fear of witchcraft.

Steve “Tattman” Hill, a member of SNIPE explained that there are “certain places” he will not “mess around with.”

“I won’t just because I don’t know about it, and I don’t want to know about it. So I’ll just leave it alone, dark stuff,” said Hill.

As though to agree with him, a loud knock coming from the corner of the room was both heard and recorded. After moving and sliding furniture to check if the sound could

be duplicated within the room, with no success, Hill walked to the outside of the building and duplicated the sound by knocking on the wall near the window pane. No one was found outside of the building.

“It sounded like plaster, like on the inside of the wall,” said Thomas. “We’ve never heard anything like that,” he said, explaining that it might be the loudest recorded sound they have.

The session was closed, and the night was completed with a Mohawk closing by Martin. The event was eye opening and far beyond interesting, showing that the museum continues to hold a lot of history. The museum will hold another paddle on October 23 for the public.

Chiefswood is the former birthplace and childhood home of 1800s Mohawk poetess Pauline Johnson. Rumours of paranormal activity at the historic site have circulated around the community for decades.

Consensus Means Everyone An editorial by Jonathan Garlow A well-meaning friend of mine from Brantford publicly asked me on Facebook why most Six Nations people don’t believe in voting and I gave him the usual list of answers – because we have our own nation, Canadian politics is foreign politics, we don’t want to undermine our sovereignty, we are allies of the Crown not subjects etc., etc. He just wanted to understand.

Of course Canadian politics greatly affects indigenous people and we understand that.

So in return I asked him “If you could vote in American politics with the possibility of sacrificing your Canadian citizenship would you?” The answer was no, no he would not.

But the greater issue at hand is that we as Haudenosaunee know a more excellent way. Our constitution the GAYANESHAKGOWA, the Great Peace, gives us the responsibility to involve ourselves as political people by operating within our families to affect the course of our nation on a day to day basis. When you fully understand this holistic all-encompassing mode of political action, casting a single vote seems like lazy politics.

The founding fathers of America based their democracy on our law but it was bastardized along the way. Instead of the time consuming method of finding consensus through respectful discourse, a vote by majority was implemented in which 49% of the population can walk away from the table unhappy and dishonoured.

In the centuries past, one side of the house would propose a solution to a problem. It would be passed through to the other side of the house to be either accepted or passed back with alterations. This would happen until both sides would concede the issue for a 66% approval.

OP-ED Canadian Labour Congress on election

The third side of the house who was listening to these two perspectives would either approve or reject the matter, perhaps they would see a problem that both sides did not consider.

If the third side of the house accepted the solution then it would be deemed consensual and everyone would be able to walk away happy and there would be skennen – peace.

All 49 families of the Confederacy also known as the League of Nations are represented through this process and every voice is heard.

The biggest problem with Canadian colonial politics is that every eight years a change of guard happens and the political party who rises to power undoes everything the previous office did for a carousel wheel of chaos. Winning a popularity contest at the polling station is a fleeting victory.

Why would we want to take part in this masquerade of democracy when we have our own consensus laws that worked marvelously for thousands of years? Our Royanni, our Chiefs, were installed for life and every single person was entitled to a clan which means that everyone was represented equally at every council.

As it stands today our Confederacy is still fighting for survival. Who would want to criticize our own people for not operating properly when it is a victory that we are still here today. As recently as 1950 it was illegal in Canada for our people to conduct our own ceremonies and government.

Things may not be happening as they should at Confederacy council but it is not our fault that our clan system was disrupted and broken. We are victims of colonization and Canada and the church are to blame for attempting to destroy our way.

Maybe they knew we had a better system all along.

A lot of us are thinking about health care and jobs this election. Who can we trust to make sure our health care system will still be viable in five, ten or twenty years? And who can we trust to help create the quality, full-time jobs that drive the economy, and that Canadians need to support their families and feel secure about their future?

These are vital questions when it comes to the kind of Canada we want to build for the future. And health care is key to that. Canada is aging and we already face a chronic shortage of home care and long-term care beds. There’s a shortage of dementia and mental health care. Too many Canadians can’t afford their prescriptions. Four million can’t find a family doctor. And unless we choose a new government this election, that will only get worse.

Before the last federal election, the Conservatives promised to renew the Federal Health Accord, which meant increasing transfer payments to the provinces for health care. All parties agreed this was the only way to ensure Canadians would get the care they need, despite our aging population. But after winning that election, the Conservatives refused to sit down with the provinces, rejected the health accord, and tied any increases to health care funding to economic growth. That’s a cut of more than $36 billion over the next ten years.

Tying health care funding to the economy makes no sense. Canadians don’t stop aging or getting sick or injured because it’s a bad day for the economy. And if we can’t get the health care we need, it costs the economy even more.

So this election, let’s choose a government we can trust to immediately cancel the health care cuts and work with the provinces to renew the ur-

gently needed Federal Health Accord.

Investing in health care means creating meaningful, secure, full-time jobs too. And that’s badly needed now and for the next generation. Today, there are 2.8 million unemployed or underemployed Canadians. Younger Canadians struggle with double the national unemployment rate.

Nearly three-quarters of jobs created in the past six years have been unstable: temporary, part-time or self-employed. That’s left almost one million Canadians juggling multiple jobs just to make ends meet. The result is less security, little or no savings for retirement, and more people worried about their future.

Since the Conservatives took office, Canada has lost 412,000 manufacturing jobs.

And now the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal threatens our auto-sector, forcing parts manufacturing workers to compete with low-wage workers in other countries.

That puts 20,000 good jobs at risk.

This election, we need to ask who we can trust to ensure any trade deals we sign

are fair, and keep the good jobs at home. And who we can trust to invest wisely to create the quality, full-time jobs Canadians need.

Who can we trust to invest in industries that create good jobs, like the automotive, aerospace, forestry and mining sectors? Who will support other job creators, like the small businesses in our communities? And who will create jobs and fight climate change by investing in transit to fight gridlock, and in green retrofitting for homes and buildings? What about investments in infrastructure funding so municipalities can fix and upgrade roads, bridges and water treatment systems?

I hope you’ll join me in asking these questions before voting this election. Because the Canada I want to help build is one where our families will get the care they need when and where they need it.

And it’s a country where good jobs and a secure future aren’t a dream, but a reality.

COLUMN: FROM THE CHEAP SEATS By Jim Windle

Deja vous all over again

By Jim Windle The Major League Baseball playoffs are in full swing as the Toronto Blue Jays seek to return for the World Series they held in 1992 and 1993. These were great times for Canadian baseball, which diverted the attention of many young Canadians from the rink to the diamond.

As they say, nothing succeeds like success and with Canada ripping the World Series out of hands of the Americans it felt especially good — even though (with the exception of one or two players) the entire team was made up of Americans and Central Americans. Still, they played under the big red maple leaf and that was good enough for most baseball fans living north of the US border.

Joe Carter could have become Canada’s Prime Minister in those years.

But for those who might recall, in 1994, the Jays were poised to make it three years in a row when it was pretty well guaranteed that the World Series would be won outside of the USA for the third season in a row. The Montreal Expos were tearing up the National League that same year and it looked like an all-Canadian world series.

They had the best record in baseball, 74–40, and were six games ahead of the Atlanta Braves in the NL East.

US advertisers were nervous knowing that their real market in the home of baseball would not be watching no matter how exciting an all Canadian series might have been. As a result, revenues would have taken a serious hit.

Coincidentally, there was a labour dispute looming over the game that year. The players strike

began on August 12, 1994 and resulted in the remainder of that season being cancelled, including the postseason and, for the first time since 1904, the World Series.

Coincidence? Maybe, but for Canada to poke the proud Americans in the eye three times in a row would have been devastating to the egos of all Americans.

Hell, it could have sparked an armed invasion.

Unfortunately, the Expos could never repeat that remarkable season and the Jays powerhouse fell apart after attendance at every major league ballpark fell off due to public outrage over what was seen as greed. Players were making more than the President of the United States and still are.

Fans stayed away in droves the following few years in protest, painting all major league ball players as spoiled and greedy

rich kids who lost the heart of the game itself.

Fortunately for everyone except the Expos, which folded, the game has recovered and the Blue Jays have returned to the powerhouse they once were.

Dickey, twenty-year-old pitching machine Roberto Osuna, David Price and more.

The Rogers Centre is a full house once again and Canadian ball fans from coast to coast are waving Blue Jay flags. Like the late Yogi Berra said, “it’s like deja vous all over again.”

Tragedy Awaits Dear Editor, Our home is located on Sour Springs Rd and our driveway is the last driveway before the cement barrier announcing that, yes, they really meant it, the road really is closed.

At the corner of Chiefswood Road and Sour Springs Road there is signage announcing “the road is closed”, “the bridge is out”, “the road is closed from September 2015 un-

til September 2016”. That’s your first clue. Then there’s the machinery and the big trucks parked along the road. Second clue. If you choose to ignore those clues and keep driving you get to the cement barrier with the big sign and the flashing lights. That’s where many drivers are forced to turn around in our driveway.

We have had transport trucks even attempt it and our driveway is short with a narrow entry and steep ditch on each side.

Three times we have heard horrible screeching as people try to stop at the last minute. Last night a red Jeep Cherokee didn’t stop in time but managed to swerve around the barrier.

It is very disturbing

and alarming when this happens and as much as I am annoyed at the person for not abiding by the signage I am even more concerned about somebody being killed.

I babysit my 2 year old granddaughter during the day and I am afraid to take her outside because I am concerned about the drivers who come barrel-

Suicide is a choice people make because of intense and unremitting Autmental o and spiritual pain. Typically, the pain [is] accumulated over years through a s series of betrayals.

These Tra de betrayals come from society, family, or other attachments. It always Pahappens r ts in a historical context (as your editorial spotlighted very well) or backdrop, of suf-

fering and traumas (poverty, death, broken attachments, loss, and heartache).

Hope in human and natural goodness and justice is lost.

So, the person feels lost and disconnected from society, spirit, and nature. Usually, in an effort to fight off the torment, alcohol or drugs are used to find moments of relief.

You, if you chose to heal this (as we all should), must become the embodiment of hope and redemption. This is hard work to convince a person that goodness exists and there is light and hope. You have to use love, compassion, spirit, and empathy.

Massive inquest into student deaths opens in Thunder Bay

By Jim Windle

THUNDER BAY – An inquest into the deaths of seven First Nations students living in boarding houses in Thunder Bay is under way in a Thunder Bay courthouse. Six of the seven young people were students of Dennis Franklin Cromarty School when they died. Bodies of five of the seven were found in the McIntyre River.

The inquest was told all seven, between the ages of 15 and 21, left their remote communities to attend school in Thunder Bay between 2000 and 2011. According to a CBC report none of these deaths were fully examined.

Initially written off as death by misadventure due to alcohol, the inquiry will look well beyond that into other contributing factors.

The inquest began in the new courthouse’s smallest room, which proved to be woefully inadequate for the hundreds of family members, First Nations supporters,

and interested media.

Testimony in day two of the six month long inquest was heard in one of the largest court rooms in the city to accommodate the crush of people.

Forensic evidence was brought forward on day one with pathologist Dr. Toby Rose and toxicologist Ken Woodall taking the stand. Each of the cases were separate incidents but all linked to the same circumstances of separation anxiety, alcohol intoxication and depression.

It is hoped that deeper causes to this kind of situation can be found and steps made to at least slow down the epidemic of suicide and drug and alcohol related deaths of indigenous young people.

Five inquest jurors, one men and four women, will hear the evidence.

The inquest hopes to find answers to five basic questions surrounding all seven deaths, including how students from remote communities become eligible for Thunder Bay schools; what are

the policies, procedures, qualifications and training of boarding home parents and supervisors; how well do police, boarding parents, First Nations high schools and families respond to reports of missing students; what programs are available to prevent the deaths of First Nations students; and what obstacles and challenges were faced by the students both in their home communities and in Thunder Bay. The inquest will also include instances of discrimination and alcohol and substance abuse.

Phase one of the inquest includes evidence, which will likely last until

a Christmas break, and will focus on the circumstances of each individual death.

Phase two will deal with evidence related to the government’s policies in context to the deaths.

Phase three will look at information regarding potential recommendations looking forward.

Alcohol was a contributing factor in some of the deaths, however, lawyers for the victims families contend that although being a factor, the real cause goes much, much deeper.

“Alcohol may be the canary in the coal mine, but not the cause’ of students’ deaths,’” said

lawyer Julian Falconer “These youth actually died of neglect.”

During the first day of evidence, Woodall testified that the average concentration of alcohol considered fatal is 360 mg alcohol per 100 mL of blood. None of the students who died exceeded that level.

Alcohol was determined to be part of the cause of death in the drownings of Jethro Anderson, Reggie Bushie, Kyle Morrisseau and Curran Strang. It was not listed as a cause in the death of Jordan Wabasse.

Testimony so far revealed that homicide couldn’t be ruled out at

this point.

“Our challenge is that the investigations in the early stages were so superficial that it is very difficult to get a narrative together that tells us anything – what we do know after Dr. Rose finished testifying we know that anything is possible – that she can’t rule out homicide – she can’t definitively say accident – we just don’t know,” said lawyer Julian Falconer.

The inquest is the largest in Ontario history and is expected to call 200 witnesses, continuing through to March 2016.

Onkwehonwe/Anishinabek Week in Review

By Danielle Boissoneau

It is not clear why the application was dismissed.

Murdered Indigenous woman was Hamilton meeting denied protection gets heated over MMIW

Selena Rose Keeper, 20, has died after a violent assault on Thursday morning in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She was rushed to the hospital in critical condition but was later pronounced dead.

Court records show that Keeper had applied for a protection order from her boyfriend, Ray William Everett, in May 2015.

“I fear for my safety because I’m scared of what he will do if he ever seen me in public,” Keeper wrote in the application for protection order.

She said Everett was part of a gang and access to weapons. The application was marked dismissed the day after it was filed.

Last week, Hamilton Regional Indian Centre hosted an All Candidates Meeting to help bolster the Aboriginal vote in the upcoming October 19 election. A debate arose when questions surfaced about an inquiry into the Missing and Murdered Indigenous women epidemic in Canada. The answers inspired a square off between Conservative candidate Yonatan Rozenszjn and candidates from the Liberal and New Democratic Parties.

Hamilton Centre NDP incumbent David Christopherson said his party would launch an inquiry. He continued

on to warn the audience that, “re-electing the Conservatives means we don’t get our inquiry.”

Rozenazjn maintained the Conservative Party stance that an inquiry is not needed because this issue is one of criminality. He echoed the Prime Minister, re-iterating that this issue is not, “high on their radar.” Conservative MP Bob Zimmer recently suggested that “joblessness” and Indigenous women not staying on the reserve,” as root causes of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.

Federal court grants rights to Metis, Non-Status Indians On Tuesday, the Federal Court ruled that 200,

000 Metis and 400,000 non-status Indians, in Canada, are indeed, “Indians” under the Constitution Act and fall under federal jurisdiction. Melanie Omeniho, president of the Women of the Metis nation, said the ruling means that, “We will no longer be a part of the political football that has us tossed back and forth between the province and the federal government.”

But Sebastian Grammond, an expert historical witness in the case, says that, “the ruling does nothing to settle the issue of how the federal government will exercise its jurisdiction.” Betty Ann Lavallée, the National Chief for the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples, said that, “this case was all about fairness, dignity, and self-worth. Until now, non-status aboriginals were treated as “second-class citizens.

Today’s decision will mark a new relationship with the government of Canada,” she said. “Let’s be honest. It’s not going to change it immediately.

It’s not going to change it tomorrow.”

National Energy Board Approves Enbridge's Line 9

On September 30, the National Energy Board (NEB) approved Enbridge’s Line 9 project which involves reversing the flow of oil in a 397 mile pipeline. Line 9 is 40+ years old and runs through 360 waterways, including the Grand River. Despite current appeals underway by the Chippewa of the Thames First Nation, the NEB said that the pipeline, which originates in Chemical Valley (Sarnia, Ontario)

will begin to transport “light oil.” The National Energy Board has not released an official date as to when the pipeline will be turned on.

Disastrous effects have been felt in Kalamazoo, Michigan where a pipeline similar in age and construction to Line 9, ruptured and spilled 877, 000 gallons of diluted bitumen (dilbit) into the Talmadge Creek, a tributary of the Kalamazoo River. The spill happened in 2010 but parts of the river are still closed due in part to ongoing clean up and the water being unsafe for recreational use. Approximately, 500 000 gallons of dilbit remain at the bottom of the river.

Summary of Benefits: The Six Nations-Walton Group Partnership Agreement will not prejudice, abolish or impair any existing or future claims of the Six Nations of the Grand River against the Government of Canada and/ or Government of Ontario; Six Nations to acquire 20% of Walton’s 5% interest in the Riverbend Estates project at Walton’s original cost; Six Nations to receive its proportionate share of any net cash flow from the Riverbend Estates project; Six Nations to receive 10% of Walton’s construction management fees for the Riverbend Estates project; Six Nations to receive 10% of Walton’s performance fees earned if financial returns from the Riverbend Estates project exceed certain thresholds; Six Nations has an opportunity to bid on infrastructure work; potential for future housing construction work with homebuilders; Six Nations to be compensated for the value of services provided, anticipated to be equal to the acquisition price for Six Nations’ equity interest; If the Six Nations’ service fees are inadequate, Walton will lend funds at commercially reasonable rates to permit Six Nations to purchase an equity interest.

Mulcair’s promises to First Nations creates interest

By Jim Windle

EDMONTON – While the Liberals and Conservatives are vague with their promises to First Nations as the Oct. 19th election draws near, the NDP have come right out and said what the others have only implied.

Last Wednesday, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair spelled out what a New Democratic government would do to establish a “nation to nation” relationship with Indigenous Peoples in Canada.

He was speaking at a meeting of the Assembly of First Nations and

the Enoch Cree Nation at Stoney Plain Reserve near Edmonton.

He declared that if elected, his government would close the gap between the “two Canadas,” as he referred to it, by making investments to improve the lives of aboriginal people.

“I truly believe it is time for a new era based on a nation to nation relationship,” he said. “There is a Canada where clean drinking water is simply taken for granted, it’s a fact of life, and families live in the comfort of quality, affordable housing.

And there’s another Can-

NDP leader Tom Mulcair is serious about closing the gap between Mainstream Canada.

ada, where the basic right to clean drinking water remains out of reach and families live in homes that are overcrowded and unsafe.”

He also promised

to create a cabinet-level committee which he would chair, to ensure that all government decisions respect treaty rights and the principles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which the current Conservative government was browbeaten into signing by the rest of the civilized world when Harper stood as the only world leader not willing to sign on.

Other Mulcair promises to First Nations include: The removal of the ‘punitive’ two per cent funding cap imposed and maintained by previous Liberal and Conservative

governments.

Increase investment in First Nations by $1.8 billion over the next four years and $4.8 billion over eight years based on an annual escalator.

Improve critical infrastructure in indigenous communities, including clean water and sanitation facilities, with $375 million over four years.

Provide $96 million over four years and longterm funding of $800 million over 20 years to support infrastructure projects.

Call an inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women within 100 days of taking office and provide $50 million to

support it.

Commit $68 million to revitalize indigenous languages.

Improve health services available for indigenous people living in urban centres with an investment of $120 million.

All of this, added to promises already made along the election trail including billions of dollars for affordable housing initiatives, a $100-million Mental Health and Innovation Fund for Children and Youth, which would include $5 million for a suicide prevention strategy for at-risk populations, of which First Nations, Métis and Inuit would be a part.

Finding unity through comedy

By Ryan McMahon GOOD MINDS STAND UP - I’m a professional comedian. I write for a living.

I scour the news, the internet, my community &

ples of comics that talk about smoking with their cat, how bad their day job sucks or how crazy their ex-girlfriends are. If you were to go to a comedy club 10 times - I’d guess 7

escape – like watching a movie or hockey game comedy gives us a break from the grind of everyday life.

I wish I could say that were true for me. I wish it

pop culture for things to talk about onstage. It’s a weird job. It’s a job most people don’t understand.

Comedy can be silly.

There are plenty of exam-

of those times you’d hear a comic riff on these general topics.

For most, comedy is a break from real life. Most people turn to comedy to

was just a way to release my silly thoughts to the world. But that’s not the reality.

Comedy has become so

Ryan McMahon is a well-loved comedian in First Nations communities and beyond. SUBMITTED PHOTO. much more than that for me. In fact, I’d say most Native comedians feel that pressure to be more than just a comic. There is an inherent responsibility we have as Native comedians. We work in mainstream clubs, we’re in front of a mixed audience and we live in a (mostly) racist country.

Therefore, we have a job to do.

What a job it is. Personally, I’ve taken on the church, the government, residential schools, racism, rednecks, my own self-esteems and addictions issues and my own personal journey to unpack the legacy of all of the above. Hilarious, right?

Well.

Sometimes.

I use

comedy as a way to push back against what society tells us we are “supposed to be.” I use comedy to stand up to the bully. I use comedy to fight back.

There are a handful of Native comedians that choose to use comedy at the expense of our people - they take the weaknesses we have, the negative mainstream ideologies and the stereotypes and they use them for laughs.

I reject this outright.

We are at a critical time. We are at a time where we all need to stand together. We can’t afford to take power from each other anymore. We can’t afford to draw arbitrary lines in the sand anymore. We have to find a way to unite, to build our power back up, to re-

build our communities. If you use our media, comedy & music to do this - we will be stronger.

We can model this unity in our lives. We can model this spirit of unity in our families. We can model this in our communities. We can create the narrative going forward. We can unite around ideas, positive and real representations of who we are as Indigenous Peoples. We can do ALL this and more - but we must unite. We must unite around the idea that we are worth it - that our lives are worth it. We must unite under the idea that we are in this together.

Let’s unite through laughter and art - it makes sense.

Recognizing cyberbullying GOOD MINDS STAND UP - Before social media became so prevalent, instances of bullying were somewhat easy to recognize. However, with a good majority of children now engaged in digital networking and social media, bullying may not end with the ringing of the school bell, and evidence of bullying may not be so readily apparent.

According to Cyberbullying statistics from the i-SAFE foundation, more than half of adolescents and teens have been bullied online, and about the same number have engaged in cyberbullying.

More than 80 percent of teens use a mobile phone regularly, making it the most popular form of technology and a common medium for repeated cyberbullying.

Cyberbullying takes place through electronic technology and differs from traditional forms of bullying.

Cyberbullying can occur via text messaging, blogging, updates to social media sites and/or phone conversations. What makes cyberbullying more difficult to detect and remedy than traditional bullying is that sometimes this type of bullying is veiled in secrecy.

Those who engage in cyberbullying can create aliases and accounts under false names, allowing them to covertly engage in bullying behavior. As a result, tracking down bullies can be challenging.

Although cyberbullying is on the rise, there are some things that parents and children can do to help put a stop to such unfortunate instances. * Parents who feel their child is not emotionally ready for the responsibility of a digital device can hold back on purchasing a smartphone or choose one with very limited features. Some schools set

What is cyberbullying?

Blackmailing someone through instant messaging to retrieve personal information about them, and sharing that information without consent

Sending cruel and sometimes threatening emails, direct messages, texts, etc.

October 14th, 2015

strict limits on phone usage at school, and children who go only from school to home and vice versa may not have the need for an “emergency phone” that can open up a window for trouble. * Adolescents and teens should feel comfortable talking with their parents without the fear of reprimand. Otherwise, they may hide instances of cyberbullying or not know how to broach sensitive topics like bullying. Parents can engage in conversation with their children often and stress that the doors of communication are always open. * Teens should be made aware that cyberbullying is a very real occurrence and is not just other kids “having fun” or “joking.” If

behavior is repetitive and hurtful, it should be made public and addressed. * Parents can monitor and limit their children’s personal accounts. Some smartphone and tablet applications can be mirrored on the main account, enabling parents to see incoming text or video messages. * A laptop or desktop computer should be placed in a shared space so that usage can be monitored. Parents can restrict tablet or smartphone usage to public areas. * When online, children should be advised not to share personal information. Social media sites may be used by bullies to gather sensitive information about a person that can be used against them

Sharing embarrassing photos of another person when you do not have permission

Creating memes, blogs, or websites that are designed to embarrass someone

Excluding others from discussions on purpose

at a later time. Children should be urged to keep passwords secret and to never give information such as birthdays, phone numbers and addresses to people who aren’t close friends. Friend lists should be restricted to only those people students interact with frequently to minimize the chance for bullying or other inappropriate behavior. * Teens who have been bullied can keep evidence of the bullying and may benefit from talking with a counselor.

Cyberbullying is a growing concern for educators and parents and has far-reaching implications. Getting smart about this phenomenon can help staunch new cases of online bullying.

What is ethical online behavior?

Parents can encourage this behavior by embracing it themselves – before you post something about your children, ask them if it’s ok!

Don’t hit the send button when you’re angry. If you’re in the middle of a heated discussion and things seem to be escalating, take a break to cool down. Things that are posted online in the heat of the moment can be deleted, but they will not be forgotten.

Respect people’s feelings: before you post or share something, ask yourself “how will this make the other person feel?”

Respect people’s property: Don’t have permission to download, share or repost? Then don’t.

Copyright laws make illegal downloads punishable by law. Also – nonconsensual distribution of intimate images is a punishable offence (with a max. penalty of 5 yrs in prison).

Sometimes negative online behavior such as trolling (annoying people to elicit a response) is encouraged in certain groups. Before you participate, consider how this behavior might be hurtful to others.

There are three golden rules of ethical online behavior: respect people’s privacy, respect people’s feelings, and respect people’s property.

Respect people’s privacy: before you post or share something, ask yourself “do I have permission?”

New faces, same old Pro-Fit Corvairs

By Jim Windle

CALEDONIA – Thanksgiving Monday, the Caledonia Corvairs gave their fans a five period game against the Ancaster Avalanche at the Haldimand County Caledonia Centre.

They never intended to, but the persistent Avs just refused to go down easily.

After almost two and a half hours from the opening faceoff, at 2:20 of the second overtime period, Jake Brown scored on a power play from Matthew Hore and Corey Pawley to send Caledonia fans home happy with a 5–4 win to remain the only team in the Jr. B’s yet to suffer a loss at 12–0.

Caledonia’s Corey Pawley scored the first goal of the game on his way to a 5 point game.

Shots and chances were just about even after the first 20 minutes, but in the second, the Caledonia offence turned it on with a 22 shot period versus Ancaster’s 12. But even so, the score remained tied at 3¬¬–3 after 40 minutes.

Pawley scored his second of the night after a goalmouth scramble that put both the puck and Av’s goalie Matt Calas

A fancy spin-o-rama move in front of Marc Sinclare in the Corvair’s net by Ben Hughs was rewarded with the Av’s first goal of the game in the second.

There were lots of shots, lots of scoring, and lots of penalties in the second period which ended 4–3 for the Corvairs.

In the third, Ancaster tied the game five minutes in where the score remained until just about 10 pm when the Corvairs ended the marathon.

Friday, Oct.16th, the Corvairs will be in St.

Catharines to face the Falcons before returning home to meet the Meteors of Fort Erie, Sunday night at 7:30.

Saturday night at the Haldimand County Caledonia Centre, the Welland Canadians were the victims of the Corvairs’ awesome power with a 4–1 Caledonia win, keeping the perfect season intact.

The game turned into an all-out brawl in the third period with several names on the fight card including Todd Ratchford, Tait Seguin, Matt McCartney, Jonathan Pace, Mike Moran and Ryan Punkari

for Caledonia, with Cole Hamilton, Chad Maurice, Derek Low, Nicholas Boemer, and Jeff Williams for Welland taking part.

In total there were 47 minutes on 21 infractions handed out to Welland while Caledonia amassed 70 minutes on 29 infractions, most of them in the third period.

There was no scoring in the first period but Austin Brown broke the tie on a power play from Jake Brown and Blake Luscombe at 2:28 of the second period.

Mitchell Fitzmorris made it 2–-0 from Quen-

tin Maksimovich and Mackenzie MacSorley.

Before the fights broke out, Corey Pawley scored twice, both on power plays. Late in the game Welland added a goal for the 4–1 final.

The team also announced their entire expected roster.

Training Camp opens at the Civic Centre on Friday Night, leading up to the Home Opener against Dundas on Friday, October 30th at 7:30 PM. Wright, 39, is a 6-0, 200 lb left winger who was a 4th Round Draft Pick (98th Overall) of the Dallas Stars in 1994. He played in 124 NHL games split between Dallas, the Calgary Flames and the Philadelphia Flyers between 1997-2003. He collected 32 points (12 goals, 20 assists) to go along with 54 penalty minutes in his NHL career.

“We are very excited to have signed Jamie.

He’s a skilled player with a terrific hockey resume, having played 124 games in The Show, and several other high ranked profes-

sional leagues in North America and Europe. He brings a wealth of skill and experience to our hockey club. We expect him to come in and have an immediate impact in this league,” said Blast Owner/GM Peter Ham in a statement.

The Kitchener native also played in several other professional leagues including the AHL, IHL, and leagues in Germany and Switzerland from 1996 until he retired in 2013. He represented Team Canada three times Internationally during his professional hockey playing days at the Spengler Cup in 2001 and 2006, where Team Canada finished as the Runner Cup both times to Swiss Club HC Davos. He also suited up for Canada at the 2002 IIHF World Ice Hockey Championships, where Canada finished 6th.

In addition to playing professional hockey, Wright played his Major Junior hockey with the Guelph Storm between 1993-1996 where he served as Captain for two seasons and scored 90

He competed in the 1996 Memorial Cup with the Storm, finishing fourth, and represented and won the Gold Medal with Team Canada at the 1996 World Junior Championships.

Joining Jamie as new faces on the Blast roster are former Paris Mounties standout forward Ian Fowler, former Hagersville Hawk defenceman Dakota Powless, and defenceman Jake Ledyard (son of former NHL and Blast defenceman, Grant Ledyard).

The Blast also re-

leased their returning players for the 2015-2016 season. The entire team from last year is expected to return this season with the exception of goaltender Tim Porter who was released, defenceman Kyle Montpetit who is teaching overseas in China and defenceman Andrew Lackner who has taken over as Assistant Coach/Bench Boss of the Blast.

2015-2016 ACH Rule Changes There have been a few changes regarding the point system and playoff structure for the upcoming season.

2015/16 POINT SYSTEM: The winning team in regulation will receive 3 points.

If overtime is required the winner gets 2 points & the loser gets 1 point. Overtime will be a five minute sudden victory period with 3 on 3. If no goal is scored it will go to the current shootout process.

2015/16 PLAYOFF STRUCTURE: The 7th place team is eliminated.

Teams 5 & 6 will play a single sudden death game immediately at the conclusion of the regular schedule hosted by the 5th place team.

That winner will then

play the 4th place team in a best 2 of 3 with the 4th place team getting the odd game.

The winner of that series will be the fourth seeded playoff team and will play a best of seven with the second place team playing the third in a best of seven.

Gearing up for the 2015 hunting season

By Jonathan Garlow SIX NATIONS – The sumac is turning red and hunting season is now upon us. Hunters across the province are gathering their equipment in preparing for that first hunt.

Having the right gear can make your hunting experience even more enjoyable. Here is a list of items that can increase your enjoyment of the hunt or even improve your odds in the field.

$100 for a bargain rangefinder that may be more suitable for bow hunters and up to $500 for the top notch long distance ones.

You can pick up the Bushnell Sport 850 for approximately $150.00 and it will get the job done.

A good pair of boots Two-Way Radios

Rangefinders

Knowing the distance to your target is very important especially when hunting deer or big game with centre fire rifles.

A rangefinder is basically a monocular with a laser that calculates distance by pointing and pressing a button.

Most experienced hunters can estimate ranges by plain sight but taking the guesswork out of the formula can net better results.

Expect to pay at least

We recommend the Cobra Floating GMRS/ FRS 2-Way Handheld Radios which boast an impressive 59 km range, realtree camo and a built in flash light for the reasonable price of $99.99.

Even if you mainly hunt alone having a pair of two way radios is handy for safety reasons – you can leave one at your house or with a neighbor while you are back the bush.

Or sometimes when you pick up a friend to help increase the odds you can lend one out to stay in communication out in the field. All you need is to tell your friends what channel you are on and if they are running on Indian time they can still be in touch once they catch up to hunt.

You want to look for radios with good range and a long battery life.

Weather proof is also a nice touch.

Maybe it’s just me but owning the right pair of boots makes all the difference and puts the excitement back into that 5AM wake up alarm.

Some of my ol’ school friends swear by the $20 dollar rubber boots you can get from Canadian Tire and there’s nothing wrong with that. But for those of us who want something more there are a large variety of boots to choose from.

The three main things to consider when buying boots is insulation, water proof level, and weight. These factors will depend on where you are hunting and what time of year you plan to hunt.

Big game hunters tracking moose up north

MOTORCYCLES • SIDE X SIDES • ATVS

in January will need a different boot than Six Nations deer hunters out in October. I personally like an oiled leather boot with a good sock for maximum ankle support and flexibility.

For those who have the dough I would recommend the Irish Setter Reserve – it’s a Goretex waterproof boot and insulated with 400g Thinsulate Ultra. It retails for a whopping $399.99 US which is around $520 Canadian – some of us can only wish.

All terrain vehicle

There are many different ways of hunting on reserve. Because of certain treaties Six Nations has

with the Crown there is a seperate set of guidelines for Haudenosaunee people when they hunt.

Some of our people believe in walking the trails and fields and doing everything by man power. Others drive their trucks along the road to hunt, especially older people where mobility is an issue.

There is a large segment of hunters who use ATVs which are more commonly called Quads or four-wheelers.

When shopping for a quad you should have a price in mind to fit your budget. The most basic adult sized models can start from around $6,000 but for those with larger pockets, Polaris makes a

quad especially designed for hunting called the Sportsman 570 Hunter Edition.

This camoflauged beast comes with a Polaris HD winch, gun scabbard, rear rack extender, work lights, and hand/ thumb warmers to make this the hardest working hunting ATV straight from the factory.

Grand River Power Sports in Brantford is selling this model for $9,800 and will deliver to the rez for tax immunity but they also have side by sides and many other models to choose from.

If you want to get a quote on a vehicle you can call them at 519-7598140

The Polaris 570 Sportsman Hunter Edition comes complete out of the box with everything you would need for your reservation based hunting campaigns.

Conference to address surviving breast cancer

By Nahnda Garlow The Juravinski Cancer Centre will be hosting a conference at the gorgeous Liuna Station in downtown Hamilton next week — welcoming breast cancer survivors from across the province to learn, network and share the journey of breast cancer survivorship.

“It’s really exiting, the energy in the room,” said co-chair for the Life After Breast Cancer Conference Planning Committee, Linda Learn.

Learn is also a supportive care worker and regional psychosocial oncology lead at the Juravinski Cancer Centre.

She says the event is a great way for breast cancer survivors to gather together and connect on the transition from cancer patient to cancer survivor.

“There’s just such a buzz in the room. These women get together and the most amazing thing is the networking that happens. They really develop a fellowship and its something wonderful

Dr. Rob Rutledge is a Radiation Oncologist who will be the guest keynote speaker at the Life After Breast Cancer conference hosted

by Juravinski Cancer Centre on October 22nd. Rutledge has inspired audiences for more than 20 years with his integrated approach to healing at the level of body, mind and spirit. SUBMITTED PHOTO. for them to meet up with other women who are experiencing the same thing they are. They might have just been diagnosed with a metastases of the spine and at the conference meet up with another woman ten years out with the same diagnosis. It’s such an encouraging thing

for them to be together and learn from each other’s experience.”

This years conference marks the 8th year the Juravinski Cancer Centre is hosting the event. Last year’s event saw over 350 guests in attendance and Learn said they anticipate a similar crowd for this

years event.

Guests will also be treated to shopping with local vendors at the event like Hamilton’s Greta’s Flair, a local boutique that specializes in breast prosthetics and custom made bras to accommodate the reconstructed breast as well as other local vendors who supply supportive garments to breast cancer survivors.

“It’s really an opportunity for us to get these women together and pamper them; treat them to a great meal and a good time as well as learning from our experts,” said Learn.

Workshops held throughout the day include focusing on incorporating nutrition and exercise into life as a breast cancer survivor, as well as dealing with the psycho-social after effects a cancer experience leaves behind.

Kathleen Bell, a certified genetic counsellor will be discussing the importance of genetic counselling in what she calls the “Angelina Jolie

Effect”. Last year, actress Jolie made national news when she revealed she underwent a prophylactic double mastectomy after testing positive for the BRCA-1 gene.

Women who test positive for the BRCA-1 gene have an 80% greater chance of developing cancers of the breast, uterus or ovaries than women who have a negative result. Making genetic testing a huge part of the preventative measures or early diagnoses methodologies that has taken breast cancer one step closer to being a “curable” cancer.

Medical oncologist Dr. Janice Giesbrecht will be speaking on how to best manage the long term side effects chemotherapy and radiation brings to breast cancer survivors. Issues ranging from weight gain to changes in vision, and from memory lapses to medically induced menopause are all real everyday issues many breast cancer survivors face daily.

Keynote speaker Dr.

Rob Rutledge, a Radiation Oncologist will be sharing with those in attendance how daily habits such as relaxation techniques and positive thinking has been scientifically proven to change the structure and functioning of the brain.

Learn says this is a vital role in survivorship.

“A positive outlook absolutely helps manage the anxieties that can arise in the journey of a cancer survivor.”

The Life After Breast Cancer conference will be held on Thursday October 22, 2015 from 8am to 4pm at Liuna Station in downtown Hamilton. It is presented by the Juravinski Cancer Centre.

To register and for additional information, please visit: www.jcc. hhsc.ca/LABC. Cost for the conference is $45 which includes a light breakfast, nutrition breaks and lunch. Those who need financial assistance to attend the day can also call Juravinski at 905-575-6398 to make arrangements.

Kaha:wi Dance Theatre to celebrate 10th anniversary

By Chezney Martin OHSWEKEN, ON – The Kaha:wi Dance Theatre (KDT) will be celebrating their 10th anniversary in Six Nations on Sunday, October 18 at Six Nations Polytechnic.

The celebration will be held from 2 pm to 4 pm, and will feature performances by Logan Staats and Cheri Maracle. Also planned for the event is a special presentation of The Honouring, a performance piece about First Nations warriors and families that made sacrifices to protect indigenous culture, land and sovereignty in the War of 1812.

Guests will enjoy a catered feast, provided by Family Traditions Catering, as well as a cake designed by Heavenly Sweets and a pottery raffle provided by Talking Earth Pottery.

Artistic Director Tekaronhiakhwa Santee Smith, has been the fire behind the success of the productions performed

by KDT. After healing from two broken legs, committing to formal dance

From

1997 to 2001, Smith was a dance artist at the Aboriginal Dance Project at the Banff Centre. Out of the opportunity to choreograph grew Smith’s first major work; Kaha:wi, a family creation story. Smith later founded KDT in 2005, defining

her career within contemporary dance.

In the past, KDT’s “A Story Before Time” was nominated in 2008 for two Dora Mavor Moore Awards: both the Out-

standing Production in the Dance Division and Outstanding Performance (Ensemble) in the Dance Division.

As well, KDT’s “Here on Earth” was nomi-

nated in 2008 for one Gemini Award: Best Performance in a Performing Arts Series. In 2009, KDT received the National Museum of the American Indian Expressive Arts Award for TransMigration.

The most recent KDT performance took place in Waterloo at St. Paul’s University Green at the University of Waterloo at the IMPACT Festival organized by MT Space on September 25. There, the KDT performed The Honouring, alongside theatre performances from all across Canada.

The celebration this coming weekend will charge $10 at the door; with proceeds going to a Six Nations dancer in travelling to KDTSI 2016 in Six Nations and Toronto, as well as the Six Nations Veterans Association.

Casino strike from page 4 ne’s Liberals are trying to dabble with the employees’ existing pension plan and other benefits in preparation of the privatization of Ontario’s casinos with a move the province is labeling as “modernization”.

“We are not looking for gains in our next contract, only that what we already have is protected,” says Lockwood.

“What we want however is just the word “comparable” to be added to the wording of the proposed pension clause. We want the provider to provide a comparable pension plan to what we have had in the past.”

The union acknowledges the current economic conditions and believes they are acting in good faith.

“It would be greedy especially in these hard economic times to be looking for big raises. We are not that naïve,” says Lockwood. “All we want is to protect our pensions and to make sure the benefits remain the same.

That’s all.”

They also want union representation in on any negotiations with the private sector, but the OLG says the union will have to trust them to negotiate a pension plan on their behalf, which is not acceptable to UNIFOR. According to Lockwood, the Province has not been acting in good faith and is even lying to its members.

In a letter sent to some of their membership by OLG, it states that other unions have accepted this arrangement, but according to UNIFOR, last week, Point Edwards Casino voted 85.5% in favour of strike action.

“They are telling lies to our membership to try and demoralize us,” he says. “But as a union we are strong and we rely on each other.”

Since the last labour dispute at the Brantford Casino, the former UAW and other unions merged to become UNIFOR, Canada’s largest labour union.

Support has also been shown by the Steelworkers, Transit Workers

Union, the Canadian Labour Council and others since setting up pickets outside the Brantford Casino.

NDP federal candidate Marc Laferriere has dropped in several times to offer his support. Daniel Takacs, the Liberal candidate came by to find out what the issues are, however, requests to open talks with Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne have fallen on deaf ears.

“Conspicuous in his absence is Liberal MPP and Speaker of the House, Dave Levac, in his own constituency,” says Lockwood. “I believe that when we elect these people, they should be representing us first, not the party leaders.”

UNIFOR National president, Jerry Dias, is reported to have met with Premier Wynne to pressure the OLG back to the negotiation table and to negotiate this contract in good faith.

“All we are looking for is a fair deal.” says Lockwood.

“I have tried almost every type of weight loss program but haven’t been successful in maintaining the weight loss. My time is very limited and I don’t have much time for regular meals and an exercise program.

Zerona allowed me to go down in pant size without having to be in a rigid exercise program. People are now noticing how great I look and I have recommended the program to several of my friends. It’s brought back my self-confidence and has me liking the image in the mirror. I still haven’t reached my goal but I’m sure I will get there with the help of Zerona.” ~ Sylvana Louras, age 59 – Client of Zerona Medical Centre
