On May 22, 2006, control systems at the hydro transformer station located on Argyle Street South, just south of the protesters’ barricade, were purposefully destroyed and set on fire by participants in the protest causing over $l million in damages and power failure throughout Haldimand County and Norfolk County for periods of time ranging from 3 to 48 hours. The act was recorded on security equipment installed at the site and the perpetrators were known to the OPP - no arrests or warants issued so far.
At the time the OPP refused to protect the hydro transformer station and during the attack on the hydro station the OPP did not respond to the emergency. Six Nations Police were no where to be found and fire trucks were stopped by Native Protesters.
June 4, 2006, after the OPP had refused Hydro One’s request to provide policing of the Caledonia transformer station, a 20 year old student, William Cowan, who had been hired by a private security firm to guard the transformer station, was swarmed by a number of the protesters who smashed the security car while he was inside the vehicle, threatened him with death if he did not leave, then put gasoline on the car, lit it on fire and entirely destroyed the vehicle.
On July 7th OPP SWAT team entered Native Lands in Caledonia to remove acetylene torches the natives had placed at the base of Hydro Towers. We spoke to a long standing resident of Caledonia who told us that he was the one who phoned the OPP to report the torches. He did this after several residents noticed the torches and questioned why Natives would want these torches so close to the towers.

Ya? They have video? They know who it was?
So why are they offering $50,000 reward for information?
Excellent question for which I do not know the answer.
I simply reported the story as I found it, but should I find an answer to your question I will be sure to post it.
The original story was published quite some time ago, but the facts of what happened to the hydro station have not changed with time.
I would suggest following the link to the full story and seeing the evidence for yourself.
The answer is ... you are quoting from a source that is not reliable. Gary McHale is a well known racist who twists and rewrites the news to his liking. He is followed around by 'white nationalists'.
He is not a credible source of information.
The police do not have video. They are looking for video. They do not have suspects. They do not have any evidence as to who did the deed. It is just as likely that someone else did it to cast blame on them.
I'm all for free speech, but unless you have and provide evidence that Gary McHale is a Racist, or that I am a 'white nationalist' your comments will no longer be posted here.
There is a difference between freedom of speech and freedom to slander people at will as you are doing now.
re 'white nationalists' ... I refer to people who belong to one of these organizations. People like Paul Fromm, Melissa Guille, Kyle Stubbins, etc ... the members of these organizations who attend all of the rallies McHale has organized. These are the kind of people who are drawn to his message ... racists.
ps ... slander is spoken. Libel is written.
Alright.
Libel it is. Now you're spreading it yet again with no proof because there is none. By 'white nationalists' you mean Racists. This you have made very clear.
Come back when you have actual evidence (no propaganda) to back up your statements that Gary McHale is a racist, and that I am a racist. Email me solid legitimate proof of this and I will post it for the entire world to see.
Until you can do that, your hate mongering Libel comments will no longer be posted on this board.
