Police ads blasted

Page 3

Regena Crowchild, president of the Indian Association of Alberta, says she is "shocked" at Canadian Police Association advertisements that appeared in major newspapers recently, and which described Quebec Mohawks as "terrorists." She says she finds it strange that police are trying to discredit the Native cause - and the reasons behind nationwide Native protests. She says police should be trying to find peaceful solutions rather than branding Natives who areas seeking justice. The Globe and Mail refused to run the advertisement, saying it was filled with misinformation.
