Another Plaintiff withdraws!
We just received the paperwork from MMF lawyer Murray Trachtenberg (www.ptlaw.mb.ca; mtrachtenberg@ptlaw.mb.ca) so can now discuss with you the latest Plaintiff to abandon his taxpayer financed claim against CyberSmokeSignals in the Federation's defamation lawsuit. It's former Interlake Regional Vice-President William Flett.
Mr. Flett ceased being a Provincial Board of Director June 26, 2006 so presumably his legal fees since then were paid using public money. This is significant because our information is he was the Director who either tabled a motion to sue CSS or seconded it - we believe the latter. We thank the gentleman for making a very prudent decision.
Three Plaintiffs remain who since June 29, 2006 continue to have their legal fees paid by taxpayers. They are (left to right) Rita Cullen, Darryl Montgomery and Joyce Langan. Anyone know if they'll be running in this year's election?
This bring the number to 5 who have signed Notices of Discontinuance the others being Richard DeLaRonde, Bonnie McIntyre, Darrel Desdlauriers and Rosemarie McPherson. Ron Chartrand Vice-President, Winnipeg Region was never part of the lawsuit.

Whaa Wha... Should all go down like dominOs' now. Wonderful, thank you Mr. flett for coming to your senses... better late than before the you know what hits the fan.
OOhhh I'm so happy, happy, happy...
O.
There will be more to drop out amd probably right before the trial. Almost none of the plaintiffs now want a DAMN thing to do with this lawsuit. The only people who still want this damfool thing to go ahead are Murray and the Chartrands.
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST . . . THEY ARE DROPPING LIKE FLIES
Maybe they dont trust Murray and David to protect them from your cross examination questions ?
