Merlyn Kinrade’s ‘Ode to CANACE’

July 13, 2008 · No Comments

3 CANACE founders were included in this masterpiece capturing the essence of the Caledonia crisis. Merlyn Kinrade is at top left of maple leaf facing away from Canadian flag.

UPDATED 2023 EST July 13/08

CANACE’s Caledonia Liaison Merlyn Kinrade was feeling both creative and optimistic thanks to CANACE’s accomplishments in its struggle to end race-based policing and landclaim lawlessness, and decided to turn his thoughts into the following poem:

‘Ode to CANACE’

Merlyn, Mark, Jeff and Gary
On their backs they continue to carry
Fantino, Dalton and Mr. Bryant
These three amigos couldn’t be silent
They continued with their slanderous rant
But the CANACE founders said, You can’t!
Slander us at your peril if you will
We’ll make your scam seem all uphill
Two tier justice can never work
So Mr. Fantino don’t be a jerk
Instruct your officers one and all
To make arrests without the race call
For if you choose wrong over right
CANACE members will continue the fight
Law and order must prevail
Or democracy will surely fail

Merlyn has been nothing short of an unmoveable rock in speaking and acting for the best interests of Caledonia and all victims of landclaim lawlessness in Ontario. One day his town will recognize the tremendous debt they owe to him.

Caledonia resident: What do we tell our kids?

May 16, 2008 · 5 Comments

t-shirt_free-caledonia-now_sep22-07.jpgThe letter below was published by both The Regional and The Sachem. It was also sent to the Hamilton Spectator. None of the founders of CANACE had known or met the writer before receiving an advance copy of his letter.

What do we tell our kids?

by Mark Delio 

I’m always amused at all the posturing and name-calling that surrounds the controversy about land claims, native’s rights, blockades, and the like. While not everyone likes the methods he uses, Gary McHale, and the website he started, CaledoniaWakeUpCall.com, is still a very effective tool for exposing the government’s one-sided racially motivated handling of the situation.

Fantino home protest video - we will not give up our rights!

May 16, 2008 · 2 Comments

CANACE’s Director of Multimedia Production Jeff Parkinson recently put together a short film about our visit to OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino’s home on March 02/08 that eloquently expresses the message we sent that day to the Commissioner. It shows first, Doug Fleming and then, Merlyn Kinrade putting up the flags on hydro poles across the street from Fantino’s home, signifying that Canadians will not be intimidated into abandoning their rights, and that even the most powerful police officer in Ontario couldn’t stop us from exercising those rights even at his own home.

Carie Walker & Sachem ‘get it right’

May 16, 2008 · 1 Comment

Due to some other pressing projects and some sick time I only recently came across a very special news report that resulted from our protest at Fantino’s home in Woodbridge on March 02/08. It is a remarkable bit of journalism written by Carie Walker, a reporter for the Grand River Sachem. ‘Remarkable’ in that Ms. Walker actually invested more than 2 hours with me over the phone after the protest in an effort to understand my motivations, my actions and the evidence we have to back up our position.

Dear Mark,

When watching the NEWS they call you people from other towns ‘outsiders!’ This bugs me; enclosed is a picture I sent you taken before my family went to a different country across a BIG ocean to fight for our freedom in France!
