Politicians say the damnedest things during an election!

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "We heard from a Member of Parliament is there an election?"

You have been most kind in your assistance about determining Ms. Glover's 'claimed' Metis status, and I am in your debt.

I'm not particularly happy that she appears to have self appointed herself to publicly speak on behalf of Metis people, and can assure you that I do not agree with, or appreciate her efforts in that regard.

Once again, thank you for your help.

Dear Don:

You are indeed welcome. It is our opinion Ms Glover's comments should be taken with a grain of salt. Our highly scientific, sophisticated rolling poll suggests the Saint Boniface race is close. Currently, former Liberal incumbent Raymond Simard is leading 16 points to 11. Shelly Glover was simply attempting to cultivate riding's Metis vote who could be the deciding factor.

We have a parallel in Manitoba Federation President David Chartrand who for years has been publicly saying, "The MMF represents all Manitoba Metis." But does it or is it a myth Canadian taxpayers continue to fund in large part?

If such were the case why did the Federal Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada recently tender a contract for about $60,000 to the Canadian Standards Association to come up with a universally accepted and verifiable definition of a Metis something the MMF has been unsuccessfully p..s balling around with for over 20-years? Talk about a slap in the face.

Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk

I wish all federal election candidates in that riding well whatever their personal motives and politicial beliefs are.

Thankfully that election will soon be over, and we in Manitoba can turn our attention to ensuring all manner of provincial political issues are addressed to the voters satisfaction before the fall election.

I sincerely hope the leader and candidates of Manitoba's Progressive Party will not engage in the type of antics we have seen thus far on the national stage.
