The bogus nature of the fraudulent "Nanfan Treaty" needs to become public knowledge. You are correct in that there will be those who benefit from the controversy. We here in "Cashedonia" well know how much overtime pay police officers can make when required to "protect" the perpetrators from local citizens.

As we both know, the "Nanfan Treaty of 1701" is bogus and it is very easy to see it for what it is - a request to be allowed to hunt on lands that Six Nations lost by conquest. The Mississauga destroyed the 8 settlements north of Lake Ontario and sent the survivors packing back to Upstate NY in 1696. It was never recognized as legitimate by the Colony of NY (never had a seal affixed); and the original copy in England does not have the seal of the Privy Council affixed - so it was a non entity in the legal sense.<br /><br />Shame that no one in Government has any b@lls, or even a willingness to state the obvious - it is not even a treaty let alone a legitimate one. I can guess at how upset residents in St. Catharines and surrounds must be at present.<br /><br />DeYo.Administrationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05281509400158726212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461637042198814103.post-40798332897026979632014-11-04T15:43:47.334-05:002014-11-04T15:43:47.334-05:00Speaking of doing what they want another hunt has...Speaking of doing what they want another hunt has been scheduled at Shorthills provincial park without any consultation of anyone or any stakeholders; the local MPP has made it clear that the province will act on the basis that "Nanfan" is valid and binding and consequently justifies the hunt as it did in previous years; it is interesting to note that among my own comments in the local media, is Garry Hosnell's take on this: apparently he contacted the Feds who responded by saying that they would not take a position on Nanfan because they believe the Ontario govt. should determine whether Nanfan (and the deer hunt) are valid and applicable in what is now southwestern Ontario...because the province has jurisdiction over lands outside of federal land and Indian reserves in Ontario; my view is that may well be but is still a cop-out and passing the buck on the part of the federal govt. and we know very well that the recent MAP they published DID NOT INCLUDE Six Nations' land claims under the "treaty" of 1701 so whether the Feds are prepared to admit it or not they have taken a POSITION on the issue while refusing to become directly involved; but as you pointed out in a past post, the MAP appears to have been removed from the Ministry website...just another act of political appeasement and expediency from failed leadership at so many levels.MyOrendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10648612748999773257noreply@blogger.com
