Métis Politics is Never Boring –

The latest news today is the candidates of the MNC election this weekend are now:

Tony Belcourt
Bruce Dumont
Clem Chartier
Rick Laliberte
Gerald Morin

I am a thinking a few more might have those 54 delegates voting from Saturday until next Wednesday. The winning candidate has to win by 51% which is they need a clear 28 votes. Every ballot will drop the lowest candidate off and remaining number will continue to the next ballot. Certainly there must be a few more people that would like to give this a shot. A few good women would be nice to see. Are there any takers out there?

Maybe if we play the cards right – we could have a completely unknown come and win hands down. Imagine the right player and the right game – maybe you too could win.

All joking aside – the MNC is in dire straits. We know that there are meetings at the Federal Government that has the upper echelon bureaucrats hedging their bets against the MNC and strategizing for plan B – a different representative force to take over the Métis agenda. The credibility of the MNC and their Board of Governors is seriously compromised and government is looking to see honesty and integrity in dealing with their residual issues. No matter who wins – this will not be an easy walk – trying to bring back a BOG that has fought like this and also to bring back an organization that has so many financial challenges.
