Your All Time Top 10 Favourites!
Tansi/Good Day Folks:
We're compiling a list of the worst possible experiences you could or have had happen to you as a delegate at an MMF Annual General Assembly. Some examples:
(1) I started to ask a controversial question but my microphone suddenly malfunctioned!
(2) My expense cheque was a lot less than I thought!
(3) Attempted to ask a question at a Budget Discussion Group but someone suddenly jumped up to table a Motion ending the session. As if on Q, another individual with even greater alacrity was on his feet to Second it!
(4) One year I inquired of MMF lead accountant Bernie Short to explain the one line "Miscellaneous = $250,0000" entry in The Year End Consolidated Financial Statements but he commented they were too numerous to detail - besides, he didn't have the data with him!
(5) None of the leadership could explain the concept of Deferred Expense Accounting?
(6) Was threatened with a defamation lawsuit when I dared ask, "How much has
the Federation $250/hr MMF lawyer Murray ("The Happy Litigator") Trachtenberg been paid so far to litigate www.CyberSmokeSignals.com? From where in the budget has the money been expensed?" Oy bloody veh!
(7) They wouldn't let me in because: I didn't religiously listen to the MMF sponsored "Metis Hour Times Two" program hosted weekly on NCI Radio by Ray St. Germain; read www.derrylsanderson.blogspot.com far too much; and am not a Priority Financial client!
Please send your worst experiences/nightmares to pieuk@shaw.ca. The 10 winners will receive a dinner for two with President David Chartrand courtesy of the taxpayer funded Manitoba Metis Federation. Hurry, enter today as many times as you want!
Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk

Why are we only allowed according to the constitution of the MMF to send 2 Delegate per Local to the AGM and Duck Bay can send as many as they want approx. 300 attended in 2004? Let’s calculate that amount =300 X 50 travel = $15,000.00 that is if they are only receiving $50 each
