......Brown also says that he has been used by Gary McHale on occasion and that he does not like him at all, although he did vote for him in the last election.Thanksgiving of 2007 McHale conducted one of his infamous rallies in Caledonia, which ended up on Brown's front lawn and sparked a shouting match with Natives over the fence. According to Brown, he did not invite McHale, Mark Vandermaas or Jeff Parkinson and actually had police remove McHale from his property."If he told the media he was invited here, that is a complete lie," says Brown. "As a matter of fact, I was with several friends out on the road and he started yipping at me because I went over and said, 'What are you doing here. This flag flap is over. We've all gotten past that. Why are you trying to relive it? Are you trying to get credit for something we've done?'"According to Brown McHale didn't like that, and told an OPP officer that if Brown got any closer to him, McHale wanted Brown arrested. "I didn't care," says Brown. "I wanted to break my foot off in his fat ass". Brown says that Gary McHale has never been invited to his house."That guy has never been in my home. Not once," says Brown. "Why would I invite him? I like it when it's quiet around here. They came over here and started that big uprising here."Brown says that this past Thanksgiving he called and told McHale he was not welcome at his house. "I called Gary McHale and told him that if he came over here again this year, I'm going to kick his fat ass."Brown says that he signed a document with the OPP that if McHale was on his property, they could arrest him. "Gary doesn't know when to listen and when to shut up," says Brown. "That makes him a fool."So why did he vote for McHale? "If he was in Ottawa he'd have to keep his nose clean and do things more professionally," Brown says, although he does not agree with McHale's two-tier justice theme. "I don't go to McHale's things."
