Yes. That’s what I said. Bourassa asked Mulroney to send in the troops: the Van Doos moved in, displace occupiers from the first rounds of barricades, and dismantled the barriers. All subsequent negotiations were between the military and the Mohawks.

I’m not missing the point, unless the manual states somewhere that all aboriginals are threats to the state.

You’ve confused the army role with the police role.

– and you’re missing the point

Oh, well…producing a manual on how to contain a demonstration or bulldoze a barricade is certainly cheaper than actually negotiating a Land Claims Agreement, isn’t it?

It is a mistake not to learn from the mistakes of the past, the so called “radical” or “militant” folks have learned, and the government has now made their position clear, they consider those people insurgents.

insurgent: (noun) a person who takes part in an armed rebellion against the constituted authority (especially in the hope of improving conditions) .

It’s unfortunate that our leadership has put people into the position of believing that it has come to that isn’t it?

What would be wrong would be for the government to pretend that situations which have arisen before can not arise again and to fail to prepare. The only point worth contending over is that names have been named. Anyone who wishes to be the Warrior Society Anti-Defamation Society is free to do so.
