Desperately seeking Hugo

Talk about provocative legal aid. What will the cement head do in response?

Chief Terry Nelson of Manitoba's Roseau River Anishinabe First Nation had a meeting scheduled yesterday [April 8] with the Venezuelan embassy in Ottawa. Mr. Nelson said he was submitting a direct request to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez for political and financial support to Canadian native communities that are in legal battles over resource rights.

Mr. Nelson noted that six native leaders from the KI First Nation in northwestern Ontario were recently jailed because they could not afford financial penalties, nor could they afford further legal battles, in their attempt to block access to mining prospectors on traditional lands.

This is Norman Spector's acid comment on the main part of the story above:

A former PM virtually invites more Caledonias (a great Canadian moment)

Can't we even come up with our own numeroclature for people caught up in the justice system?
