A Shooting at Ipperwash

Journalist Peter Edwards has written a sound account of the events surrounding the police shooting of Dudley George at Ipperwash PP, and shows how the then Premier of Ontario, Mike Harris, was very much involved in the police handling of the situation. Now that the Tories have been swept out of power, an inquiry is finally being held--the result of one of the few promises that the current Premier, Dalton McGuinty, has kept. I think that as a result, the incident that took place at Ipperwash in 1995 will become a significant landmark in Ontario history. It will bring to the fore how this Province has mistreated the First Nations people in its jurisdiction, and will hopefully lead to past wrongs being rectified. I highly recommend this book.
