From Infoshop.org:

In the morning of June 17th 2009, a few people dressed in black blocked the Hanlon Highway at Paisley Road [in Guelph, Ontario] during rush hour.

Fallen trees and branches were pulled across the southbound lanes and two smoke bombs were set off to draw attention to the banner, which was dropped from the railway overpass. The banner read: “PARK YOUR CARS! Solidarity with the Mohawk Nation.”

This action was done to disrupt the transport of goods and people, especially those belonging to the Linamar Corporation. Linamar is a member of the Security and Prosperity Partnership, which works to improve the efficiency of orth American trade. Amongst its plans is the militarization and fortification of the borders and their guards. Like in Awkesasne, Tyendinaga and Peru, we too stand against the SPP and its projects.

Solidarity with the Mohawk Nation means ATTACK!

The border crossing between Cornwall, Ontario and Massena, N.Y. has been closed for three weeks, with members of the Mohawk community of Akwesasne trapped in the middle. Community members are protesting in opposition to a plan to arm Canadian border guards on Mohawk territory.
