The week in review :Cornwall, on - June 2nd 2009 Border Crossing is indefinitely closed at the Cornwall port of entry. Over the past few months, the native people have been protesting about the fact that CBPC officers were to be armed with 9mm handguns. Mohawks claim that arming the agents will only make harrassment more prominent at the border. Already, many claims of harrassment have been alledged over the years and claims were formaly filed witht he human rights society. The Canadian Government will not back down and, fearing for the border agents security, have closed the post on Cornwall Island, stranding everyone on the Island.
