The Amway speech!

Good Day Readers:

Since the Manitoba Metis Federaton held it's Southwest Regional Annual General Meeting March 20 this year at it's Brandon office, we've received serveral anonymous e-mail from those who attended. Rather than posting them individually here's a compilation. In no particular order:

(1) David Chartrand gave his usual "Amway" style speech - very inspirational but 80% B.S. so much so one elderly gentleman who left early was heard to remark he was allergic to it.

(2) Taxpayer financed Plaintiff and Southwest Regional Vice-President Leah Laplante will run again in the upcoming election

(3) The meeting was Co-Chaired by Southwest Regional Board of Director Ken LaForte, the aforemention Plaintiff Ms LaPlante, as well as, taxpayer fiananced SW Director Plaintiff John Fleury about whom it was said :

"During 2003 Bernie Shore, Head Accountant for the Manitoba Metis Federation, sent approximately 60 form letters to MMF staff and officials requesting it be signed and returned if they agreed with the amount shown as owing in travel advance monies. The total was over $111,000. Plaintiff John Fleury had the largest outstanding sum at over $19,000. Plaintiffs David Chartrand and Elbert Chartrand were cited for in excess of $13,000 and $8,000 respectively. I do verily believe Plaintiff Riddle was also on the list as may have been other Plaintiffs."
