Homebuilder says activist unwelcome at construction site

Posted By Michael-Allan Marion

A city homebuilder is livid that activist Gary McHale brought his protests against native actions at housing developments to his stalled construction site on Grand River Avenue.McHale showed up with seven cohorts bearing Canadian flags and placards on Friday afternoon at the site of a townhouse development being undertaken by Mayberry Homes, owned by Mike Quattrociocchi.They protested for a while, then left.But when he learned of McHale's action, he immediately got on the phone to local politicians and the media to angrily insist he told the activist beforehand not to come to Brantford."I told him in no uncertain terms to stay away from my site," the builder and former city councillor recounted in an interview."I said, 'I don't need your help.'"Quattrociocchi said he had also e-mailed city police to inform them he didn't want McHale on the property and made sure the unwanted activist knew that."So what does he do? He shows up anyway," Quattrociocchi said."I want nothing to do with McHale. All he's trying to do is continue his natives-against-non-natives thing. Nobody needs this. I don't want to fight anyone. Fighting's too easy."
