[Marxism] Ontario Provincial Police Attack Mohawk Reclamation

[kersplebedeb <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As many of you may know, for the past 52 days members of the Mohawk
Nation, following the direction of the traditional Clan Mothers, have
been occupying a construction site just outside of Caledonia, a small
town in Ontario.

This morning the occupation was attacked by the police. So far it looks
as if the the police attack failed - despite some arrests, people from
the Six Nations reservation drove the cops off a few hours after the
initial raid.

(I have been covering this on my blog at

Today would be a particularly important time for people to contact the
Canadian authorities to let them know that you are aware of what is
going on, that you support the demands of the "occupation"/reclamation
at Douglas Creek, and that you urge them to call of the police.
