[Resist!ca]

FOREST, Ont. - "Former Premier Mike Harris was a 'redneck' and 'gun-loving' and believed he could direct the Ontario Provincial Police to take action against native protestors, according to a senior police officer who met with him hours before the massive police operation which ended in the shooting death of native activist Anthony (Dudley) George. 'He believes he has the authority to direct the OPP,' Insp. Ron Fox says in a telephone conversation to a fellow officer, moments after Fox met with Harris and senior government officials, including then solicitor-general Bob Runciman, attorney-general Charles Harnick and minister of natural resources Chris Hodgson at Queen's Park."
