A standoff more than a year old opened a new chapter Monday, when a flare up between protesters and Ontario Provincial Police led to an arrest in Caledonia. And all just days before the provincial election.

Billed as the "Remember Us March" by citizens fed up with the ongoing land occupation by Six Nations Protesters, tempers quickly boiled over as residents tried to walk down a new street they say aboriginals are free to roam while they're not.

As has been the case with many previous protests in the area, Toronto resident Gary McHale was the organizing force.

McHale said Monday's message was directed at Ontario's voters. He says whoever wins this Wednesday's election needs to call an inquiry into the ongoing land dispute that's now entering its 19th month. But the aboriginals in Caledonia who spent the day carefully watching on, had their own feelings about McHale's return.

"He's (McHale) going to go home, he doesn't have to live here," said Six Nations member Clyde Powless.

"We've got to somehow get past where he makes it out to be a personal fight against the people in Caledonia ... we're fighting the government, make no mistake about it."

While it's not clear if or when a resolution will be reached in Caledonia, one thing's for certain: the provincial government has already spent about $290 million on the standoff, which is a hefty sum few at Queen's Park want to see increase.
