A proposal to help resolve 16 years of Caledonia

By MPP Toby Barrett

To The Haldimand Press

This coming February 28 marks 16 years of illegal occupation of Caledonia’s Douglas Creek Estates subdivision, and 16 years of intermittent road and rail blockades, detours, violence, and intimidation. 

  For 16 years my position and communications have remained steadfast – we have our institutions of government and law for a reason. Living in a free and democratic society, we in Ontario have one law for all and nobody is above the law. The credibility of government is lost and policy is doomed to failure when the law and democratic processes are allowed to be sabotaged.
