There’s been a protest over the awarding of a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal to activist Gary McHale.

The thought of McHale receiving the medal has outraged Six Nations Chief Bill Montour. He’s going to return his jubilee medal to the Governor General. Montour says he doesn’t want to be part of an award that also recognizes McHale as someone who has made a significant contribution to Canada.
McHale has been very vocal, protesting the police handling of a native land claim dispute in Caledonia. McHale was recommended for the medal by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
