Ontario must get serious about protecting native rights

...[The] McGuinty government has now promised to fully implement [the] recommendations [of a public inquiry into the police killing of an indigenous land-rights activist]... However, when it comes to the inquiry's core recommendations to deal with the underlying injustices fuelling land disputes, Amnesty International is becoming increasingly concerned that the government is moving too slowly to keep its promise. Consider the fact that Bob Lovelace of the Ardoch Algonquin First Nation is now in jail, having been sentenced to six months' detention and fines of $50,000 (and growing). His crime: defying a court injunction against a protest blocking uranium exploration [by Frontenac Ventures] in an area subject to a longstanding, unresolved land claim.
