Were & when was that incident with one of the Indian tribes 15-20 years ago I forget what it was. Something about the Government wanting to take there land for a golf course. Or something like that. They block a bridge and had a small gun battle. Maybe you can team up with them ?

That armed encounter with the natives was in a place called Oka, in Quebec. Quite rightfully, the aboriginals did not want their sacred land turned into a golf course. It was a pretty nasty armed conflict as I recall. An example of the government pitting the military against it's people, only it ended as a standoff because the people were armed. If the government thinks they can get the native population to hand over their guns, they've got another thing coming. Stever Harper for Prime Minister!! Down with Chretien and his Mafia thugs!!!
