BRANTFORD – Brantford Mayor Chris Friel is taking the gloves off in his drive to force the County to accept a land transfer deal they don't seem to be willing to make, at least without a full consultation process with the Six Nations who have definite interest in the land in question. Most of the 5,000 acre proposed transfer is part of the Johnson Settlement claim that has been before the government of Canada since at least 1995 when the Elected Council filed law suit against Brantford, Ontario, and Canada. In this letter which we have obtained through reliable sources, Friel threatens the County to accept the will of city hall or the Province will be asked to force them to accept it.
