Names of Ontario Bureaucrats Who Negotiated KI to Jail

There are many passages in the Mikisew decision of the Supreme Ct. that bear a close reading and re-reading.

Here is one I like.

"The honour of the Crown also infuses the processes of treaty making and treaty interpretation. In making and applying treaties, the Crown must act with honour and integrity, avoiding even the appearance of “sharp dealing” (Badger, at para. 41). Thus in Marshall, supra, at para. 4, the majority of this Court supported its interpretation of a treaty by stating that “nothing less would uphold the honour and integrity of the Crown in its dealings with the Mi’kmaq people to secure their peace and friendship”."

I think it is important that people know the names of the MNDM bureaucrats and consultants who "negotiated" the KI leadership into jail.

Chief Negotiator. Cameron Clark former Deputy Minister of MNDM. Now retired.On the Ardoch file.

His assistant. Lori Churchill.

Their boss. ADM Christine Kaszycki


Keep these names in mind if they come to your community selling the benefits of mining.

A few others to consider. Andy Fyon. Mike Grant. Gord Yule. Talk to Sachigo, Moose Cree and Wahgoshig about these fine men who uphold the honour and integrity of the Crown.
