The Canadian judicial system has found me ‘not guilty’ of all charges initiated by the Attorney General's Department of British

Columbia.

Now is the time for the Attorney General to take decisive measures to correct the grave injustice caused by my arrest and costly trial, and the resultant false and unfair stigma brought upon myself and the people | represent. The Attorney General’s Depart- ment should take immediate action to bring an end to criminal burnings and bombings.

Members of the organization, which | represent, wish only to live in peace and to work to build a better Canada. We have nothing to do with fanatical groups such as Freedomites. And we appeal to all respon- sible Canadians to urge their elected rep- reseniatives to see that true justice is done.
