Frank Godon does new math!
Good Day Folks:
Found the following comments posted today on www.derrylsanderson.blogspot.com. For those unfamiliar with the Manitoba Metis Federation, Oliver Boulette is it's current Executive Director. It is our understanding a few years ago he left his Assistant Deputy Minister level position at Manitoba Aboriginal and Northern Affairs to join the MMF replacing longtime apparatchik Donald Roulette.
A thought came to mind after Frank sent this next e mail .... instead of spending the supposed donated cash in sending the MMF executives, Board Members and spouses, why not contribute that very cash directly to the Maniotba Metis vets ?
Do you think Oliver Boulette or Don Roulette's attendance is absolutely neccessary? How about David Chartrand's wife? His assistant Cindy Miller?

Derryl - you left out something very important - the article states:
"Veterans Affairs Canada pitched in $80,000 for travel and setting up the Métis exhibit, which volunteers from Manitoba assembled in October. Chartrand said they've nearly matched the amount received from the government by fundraising in their communities so more Métis,including young fiddlers and square dancers, can attend the unveiling of the exhibit."
Common sense tells me that $160,000 has been earmarked for this trip with $80,000 coming from Veterans Affairs Canada for the veterans - so with only 3 veterans going that breaks down to $26,666.67 per veteran - hmmm I don't think my father received anything near that!
And if they as David stated "nearly matched the amount received from the government by fundraising in their communities so more Métis, including young fiddlers and square dancers, can attend the unveiling of the exhibit." then each of the fiddlers (3) and square dancers (10) should get about $6,153.85 each for this trip - maybe someone can contact one of these performers and ask them if they got that much.
We all know this is bullshit - none of these executives are paying their way - and if they are then they can prove me wrong by submitting the paper work that shows where the money from Veterans Affairs is going, and the money that they raised is going! THEY WON'T BECAUSE THEY CAN'T!
By the emails I've received I'm not a popular guy with the office right now and I wonder if David won't try to throw me out of the plane somewhere between Toronto and Paris.

Speaking of Mr. Roulette, anyone know what he does these days? A check of the Federation's website (www.mmf.mb.ca) turned up nothing so we Googled him but were unable to find anything about his current duties.
Regarding Mr. Godon, if President Chartrand tries to toss him out the plane somewhere between Toronto and Paris it may be a good time for him to use those karate moves he learned in the military. As for being unpopular with MMF functionaries, he always has his credo to live by:
IT IS IN CHANGING, THAT WE FIND PURPOSE.
