Where's David Chartrand?




Good Day Readers:

Watching the video brings back memories - Dr. Barnard from our days at the University of Manitoba and Leah LaPlante who was and is the MMF's Vice-President for the Brandon Southwest Region. We first encountered Ms LaPlante while General Manager (1999-2000) of the "supposedly" arms-Length Federation affiliate the Louis Riel Capital Corporation.

As we recall, she was usally quiet frequently deferring to LRCC fellow Directors and MMF Vice Presidents Elbert Chartrand (David Chartrand's brother) and now former Federation Vice-President for The Pas Muriel Parker. Today Ms Parker is The Corporation's Chairwoman.

"The Doodler!"

Leah LaPlante is a Plaintiff in the Manitoba Metis Federation's alleged defamation SLAPP suit (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) involving the now defunct www.CyberSmokeSignals.com. The case is being prosecuted by Winnipeg lawyer Murray Trachtenberg (Court of Queen's Bench File No. CI 05-01-41955).

Manitoba's Murray Norman Trachtenberg

Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk
