BC - What is really going on?

Yesterday’s announcement makes one speculate as to what are the real issues? The Press Release stated, The MNC continues to face several challenges and requires a leader who has a proven track record and credibility. This is not a popularity contest and there are very serious issues that must be addressed. The MNC is in crisis and I know I can step forward and be dedicated to address these challenges. We need a leader who can support a complete organizational change and ensure principles of true Métis Nation self-governance can be demonstrated and not just spoken. I truly feel that I will be the only candidate who can bring such important issues forward with credibility in this election. ”

Let me shake my head – it is not a popularity contest? Bruce do you think you are competing in a political wisdom exam and based on the results – let the most intelligent guy win? Guess what – you did not make it! It is a popularity contest and after a few inquiries your popularity consists of five votes in BC - maybe. Leads you to ask the question – based on the lack of popularity and luster that your campaign has – is your board trying to dispose of you provincially and this is the best way?

As for your statement of walk the talk – you were seen on APTN News last night committing your support to Tony Belcourt and advising that if the game did not go where you wanted it to – BC would pull out of the MNC. Do leaders take their sand pails and go home when the going gets tough – or do they stick to their principles and fight the battle to see their vision come into reality? I realize that the APTN piece must have been recorded last week – but what a difference a week makes.

Rumors are that David Chartrand had indicated to his MMF Board that an individual on Bruce Dumont’s board was working with him. It makes you wonder – maybe he does – this certainly makes it look like they want to split the vote to ensure Clem Chartier gets elected.

I did say last week that the MNC election is heating up and interesting it remains. Obviously there are no political loyalties and you never know where things could end up. We do know that it will be important to keep watching.

Talked with Yvon Dumont a few years ago, and asked him why he never became the MNC president back in the early 2000 - told me that his "support" turned on him a few hours before the votes. - Maybe its true - "Make sure the hands patting you on the back don't have knives in them"

Metis politics - kinda makes me glad I'm sitting here in Russia watching all this waiting for the implosion.

Have to say MM if it wasn't for people like you and Derryl at MN&S we'd be at the mercy of these clowns.

Is Blogging the new Medium and future of the Métis Nation?

Editorial on http://www.novametisnewslink.ca

Looking around the Internet for Information, one of many Métis orientated blogs can be found for News and Views of the Métis Nation.
