Crying Out Loud For Love - Sharbot Lake Uranium Protest

The standoff over uranium mining at Sharbot Lake just north of Kingston Ontario is not a conflict between "natives and non-natives"...the dispute is between the Indigenous landowners and the mining companies and their colonial government puppets.

Natives and Non-Natives are joining together to ensure that the earth is not raped for uranium and that the future of ourselves and of our children are not left with a toxic dump.

A mysterious private company called "Frontenac Ventures Corporation" FVC has been trespassing on our land so it can extract our resources.

Frontenac is a "private" company that develops uranium properties in Canada.

Their website has three paragraphs with no names, addresses, phone numbers or links for more information.

It states they operated "four mines between 1957 to 1964 in that area which produced 15 million pounds of uranium from pegmatite ore".

Open pit mining is one of their favourite methods. They presently have 400 claims for almost 8,000 hectares on Algonquin territory. They also have claims on property occupied by non-native cottagers who feel totally voiceless.

According to their website Frontenac plans "to start aggressive exploration and development immediately".

Frontenac's board is made up of:

Dr. K. Sethu Raman, former Vice-President of "Campbell Chibougamau Mines" and "Royex Gold Group of Companies" (now "Barrrick Gold");

George White at 613-479-2936, the front man, former vice-president and general manager of "Westburne Industrial Enterprise Limited" that distributes oil and gas all the world.

William J. Radvak is co-founder of "Response Biomedical Corporation" which develops and commercializes rapid "immunoassay diagnostic" tests;

Anthony Deweth previously of the private banking sector of "CIBC Wood Gundy"; and Doris Meyer, former vice-president and financial officer of "Queenstake" which negotiated the acquisition of the "Jerritt Canyon Mine" in Nevada and other publicly traded mining companies. Her own company is "Golden Oak Corporate Services".

Private corporations like Frontenac are not listed on the stock exchange. We cannot find out who the real owners are. They could be a front for secret investors. They appear to have something to hide. There is a legal separation between the private investors and the corporation. In this case it is almost impossible to pierce the corporate veil and get at the scoundrels who hide behind such corporations. Let's take that veil off.

The Algonquins are sovereign and independent who never surrendered their lands. They are not part of Canada because they never agreed to join the colonial state and come under the "Indian Act". They remain independent under their own traditional law and the rules of international law apply.

Write your members of parliament, the prime minister and the international community. Ask who has bought off the government and why? Is any amount of money gained in one lifetime worth jeopardizing the lives of humans for 10,000 years to come?

Peace!

Aboriginals in eastern Ontario warn they will occupy a proposed uranium mine north of Kingston later this month unless the province calls a halt to the project. The Ardoch Algonquin First Nation says it usually permits mining and other activities on its lands, but it cannot accept uranium exploration. Jan. 11/08

It seems they STILL are NOT listening...we need to pump up the volume! Blessings to the folks who are standing on guard for Mother Earth...I love you all! Peace!

Now the Canadian Government wants to poison us. That's just great!! When will they ever stop doing things to hurt us? Why don't they try listening to the people instead of ignoring us. The Government only thinks of the almighty dollar and not the consequences of getting it. Who cares if the people suffer for it. I know I don't appreciate the government thinks. What do they want? The people to become Anarcists and create their own laws?

A harlequin fetus has nothing to do with radiation. Pretty obvious whoever made it just google image searched "malformed babies" and threw them in here. You just lost all credibility.

[RostedBananaFries]

Sorry... should have said McGuilty>>>

[RostedBananaFries]

Why show harper with most of the pictures if you know its McGuinty

[selrahcnoira]

Frontenac Ventures eh?....They will have to take me away kicking and screaming if they want to mine around these parts....I WILL BE THERE WITH MY BROTHERS WHEN THE TIME COMES!!!!!!.....

[alikahl]

I protested on Dec 13th... I'm adding myself to the presence of a better earth. Will you? I'm making this my project for University.

You're all Canadian citizens, and the shame is that you don't feel it. "Ganja" is never the answer.

But all that aside, from one Canadian to another, I fully support your fight against the uranium mines. One can only hope the Liberal gvt of Ontario will repeal the antiquated and undemocratic law that allows this to go on.

If McGuinty and the Liberals cared, they'd have stopped this years ago.

[TuathadaDanaan]

Heh heh...that's okay...that's what we're all here for...help each think outside that box...burn the box!! *S* Love you brother...thank you for being you...honestly! Peace!
