We came before the court, and within minutes were sentenced to jail terms. We didn't even understand what was happening. There were no lawyers or legal aid to defend us. By then, we were already branded criminals. Some of us, like myself, were not criminals, we are not criminals now, and we will never be like criminals.
Justice is often very blind.
I have many relatives in George River, Kuujjuaq, Tasiujaq, and other communities that I got to know and love. I landed pretty good jobs and became a man I should have become long ago. As for Labradorians seeking compensation for being kicked out of our homes, we who are now living in northern Quebec will do the same. We will win the case even if we have to get the Supreme Court of Canada to help us. If the Supreme Court does nothing, then the United Nations Human Rights Commission will be appoached.
