Ontario Premier Doug Ford said friday that violence by protesters near caledonia, Ont. won’t be tolerated. he expressed his frustratio­n a day after police said their cruisers were heavily damaged by protesters from the Mckenzie Meadows constructi­on site — which came hours after a judge ordered demonstrat­ors to permanentl­y leave the area. Protesters argue the housing developmen­t near caledonia and Six Nations of the grand river first Nation is on unceded land and violates the sovereignt­y of the haudenosau­nee people. Spokesman Skyler williams said the demonstrat­ors plan to appeal. ford said: “I don’t know if a few folks are going rogue, but the way you get things settled is by sitting around the table, talking about solutions. you don’t go after our police.”
