In a recent article, Ken Lesbock, the Director of the International Human Rights & Justice Project for Owe Aku, explains that earlier this year, the New York-based uranium mining …

As a price of entry to the GNEP, President George Bush has suggested that countries like Canada and Australia should agree to accept the disposed nuclear waste from the countries to which they sell the uranium. IEN’s concern here is that Canada will therein become …

As of August 17, The Ardoch Algonquin First Nations and Shabot Obaadjiwan First Nations were given two working days to remove themselves (and anything they brought with them) from the protest site on Hwy #509.

This is the injunction that Frontenac has been pursuing, but as I understand it the injunction was not formally served…. Furthermore, on July 14 (before the injunction was issued), Chief Doreen Davis and Co-Chief Paula Sherman wrote an open letter to the Premier of Ontario (see the letter below), stating that both Nations will no longer participate “with the Court process as it relates …
