Harris wanted 'Indians out'

FOREST, Ont. – Only hours before native activist Anthony (Dudley) George was shot dead, a government meeting was stunned silent when former premier Mike Harris angrily told senior Cabinet Ministers and two police officers, "I want the f------ Indians out of the park," a public inquiry heard today.

The bombshell came on the second day of testimony by former attorney general Charles Harnick at the public inquiry into George’s death on the night of Sept. 6, 1995 in a massive police operation at Ipperwash Provincial Park. Stoney Point Natives occupied the park on Sept. 4, 1995, saying they were protecting sacred burial grounds. Their claims were later upheld by documents released by the federal government.

"The Premier, in a loud voice, said, 'I want the f------ Indians out of the park,'" Harnick testified today before Mr. Justice Sidney Linden. Harnick said he was stunned by the comment, and that Harris’ demeanour quickly changed during the meeting in the premier’s private dining room shortly after noon on Sept. 6, 1995.

The meeting was also attended by former solicitor-general Robert Runciman, former minister of natural resources Chris Hodgson, senior members of their staffs and civil servants, Harnick said.In his cross-examination of Harnick, Harris’s lawyer Peter Downard said his client will deny using those words when he is called to testify in January, Canadian Press reports.
