First Nations leaders are warning of a showdown with the Ontario government over the Far North Act, which is slated for a third and final reading Thursday in the legislature. Grand Chief Stan Beardy says the bill robs aboriginals of their treaty rights and doesn't give them a say in how their lands will be developed.
The Far North Act would block up to 42 per cent of Ontario's land mass from development, protecting 225-thousand square
kilometres of boreal forest.
