Police Inaction in Native Seizure of Lawrence Cannon's Office Unacceptable

According to the Ottawa Sun, a group of Native and pro-Native protesters has seized and are currently occupying Lawrence Cannon's constituency office in Buckingham. This blatantly illegal and criminal action; however, has not prompted the police to swiftly remove them. Instead the protesters are "occupying the offices [...] under the watchful eye of police."

When a group, no matter what their heritage, ethnicity, or motivation, illegally enters and occupies any space to which they are not lawfully entitled, it is the obligation of the police to remove them. If a group of drug dealers had broken into and occupied a private residence, there is little doubt in my mind that the police would arrest them and charge them. Why the double standard when it comes to native protesters?

I wish they would occupy Queen's Park. Then at least it would stop McGuinty from banning more stuff for a while.

Did you know Conservative Queen that the prime minister stephen harper received a prestigious award.
It will give you pleasure and pride to print the article found on Sandy's, Jack's Roy's onto your site.

Apparently the MSM have no use no pride of any kind for this prime minister as you can see for yourself; their determination to ruin him instead of acknowledging the job he and his party have done within 2 1/2 years in government more than the liberals years in government.

Finally, I congratulate the Prime Minister and we are proud of him.

This reminds me of that time when some Europeans "discovered" the land mass that is now Canada and moved in. Boy, those sure were fun times.
