HST Protests Planned

First Nations leaders are ready to roll out blockades across Ontario even though they expect to reach an accord by Friday with Ottawa and the province for a break under the new harmonized sales tax.

The protests are set to kick off Monday morning with a blockade of the railway in Batchewana First Nation, near Sault Ste. Marie.

But the protest will be called off once First Nations leaders ink the tax deal with the federal and Ontario governments.
