Terrance Nelson: Canadian courts seek to bankrupt rail blockaders



"You have decided that the government need not do anything, after 142 years, the Government of Canada can continue to do nothing on its legal obligations and CN and the immigrants to our lands are free to continue to take everything from the indigenous people and pay nothing." -- Terrance Nelson

James Edmond,
I have received a letter from F.A. Lee Senior Master regarding costs for CN on the court case. Master Lee writes on July 16, 2013, "I invite the defendant Terrance Nelson as well as the plaintiff Canadian National Railway Company and the Attorney General of Manitoba to make their written submission as to costs in this matter. Written submissions should be addressed to my attention and submitted to the court no later than July 29, 2013."

STRAIGHT UP


MNN. JULY 29, 2013. What would you do if an old man sent pictures of his erect penis to your adolescent daughter, along with suggestive sexual invitations to have sex? It’s like suggesting a father rape his daughter. Former Congressman, Anthony Weiner, a wealthy politician running for mayor of New York City is setting this example. Former NYS Governor Eliot Spitzer, another old man, was caught soliciting a 22-year old. He resigned and became a media star. Both committed crimes against women.

The Walk is leaving Wheeling today and heading west on 40 and some back roads where 40 runs into Interstate 70. We would like to thank the Soup Kitchen of Greater Wheeling, Becky and her husband, Carmelita, Tommy, and Willy Underbaggage for their support. The truck will be on the road again in the next day or two as the parts have been ordered. Thank you to all those that have thought of us.
