Caledonia Blockades Resemble YoYo


"There up, there down, there up, there down, there back up"

The Harpoville Post reports that the YoYo blockades surrounding the small Canadian town of Caledonia are back up, as of right now. The Native land protest that is close to three months old was winding down with talks underway with Ontario officials and Six Nation Representives then the towns locals moved in to put up blockades of their own and all hell broke loose. That action caused the Natives to put the twice removed blockade back up. Now there are blockcades all over the place and no one is going or getting anywhere.

The Harpoville Post has learned that locals are reacting, not to Six Nation concerns but, to outside Native infulences that have moved into this once quite area about and hour from the US border to the south and Toronto Canada to the east. Native warriors from across North America have been heading to Caledonia to man two road blocks, one on the main street of this small town and one on the highway that bypasses the town. This Harpoville Post reporter visited the site and witnessed OPP, Ontario Provincial Police, officers turnback many a car full of Native warriors from entering the blockade area. But, they mearly turned around and headed back looking for another way in.

The Harpoville Post reports that the Six Nation claim to land six miles both sides of the Grand River dates back to the 1800's and will most likely take years to figure out and resolve. Cool heads must prevail so no one is injured and the sleepy little Southern Ontario town of Caledonia and the Native community on Six Nations will one day resolve the land issue and once again live in peace.

Harpoville Post Update:
It seem calmer heads cannot prevail as once hoped with news of angry protesters on both sides resorting to the primal urge for violence with them lashing out at each other. It is obvious now that the arrival of peace will be slow and painful, if it arrives at all.
