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! The Wren
