Hope Bay cottagers have launched a $50-million lawsuit against both the federal government and the Nawash band council.
Meanwhile folks in Caledonia are asking the question, "If Sam Gualtieri had died when he was attacked by a pack of goons last year, would Premier Dawlton McGuinty have come down for his funeral?" This and other questions are on the minds of residents, according to the Sun's Joe Warmington.
...Sam is no longer a homebuilder because since he was ambushed he has lost his business, can't drive, is constantly dizzy, is unable to remember very much of the past and still has difficulty speaking.So what is the Federal Government doing about this one, you ask?
He was a champion bowler who has nailed five perfect games but now can only dream about getting enough rehab to return to the lanes.
"It is very frustrating," Sam said in his first interview since the incident last September. "I just find myself with tears coming out of my eyes for no reason."
Another question that came up in my visit to Caledonia yesterday was: Has McGuinty forgotten about Caledonia?
John Tory had the best line of the day. "He hasn't forgotten I guarantee you. It is on his conscience."
Well, they have put two offers on the table and are still waiting for a response.
If Dalton McGuinty wonders why Ontario is going down the tubes, he might look in the mirror instead of pointing his finger at Ottawa.

That's a beauty Joanne....
But I'm sure all he sees in the mirror is "Mr. Personality"
Remember 2006?

lol! I forgot about that one!
You know what I remember? I remember when Ipperwash provincial park was taken over by First Nations, and how tourists were hassled, and residents of the area afraid.
Just north of Grand Bend last summer just before the tourism folks there were going to go ahead and sink some boats off the shore in hopes of creating some interesting diving, they were stopped at the 11th hour by
a claim by the local First Nations band. The claim was that they owned the shoreline of Lake Huron and "x" no. of feet into the lake(can't remember the exact measurement).
Not much news about that one, was there?
