Trying to put Community Economic Development into context is almost an impossible task. You have Western Economic Diversification (WED) that has a contract with Community Futures Development Corporation of Mount Waddington, federally incorporated 313436-9 with a non-elected Board of Directors who abuse their power however they feel like and we don't even know how they acquired that power. When you ask a local Politician, the answer is: "That's none of your business, it's a federal program." but when you look into you'll find out those local Politicians are on the Board as volunteers. How did they get there? Apparently that's none of our business again.
Now, the same people have started what they call "Venture Connect" again the manager of our CFDCMW, Mr David Mitchell and the Chair of the Board of Directors who he takes orders from, Mr David Rushton is on that Board also. From which authority? That's none of our business again.
We have Community Futures BC aka Community Futures Development Corporation Association of BC, which Mr David Mitchell is a Special Adviser to. Very closed-shop for anyone who would be willing to volunteer their time to make sure things are run according to contract or incorporation.
Another one that shows up is Economic Development Association of BC (EDABC) offering you a reward if you want to join their association. My question is: How much money goes to those bureaucrats for promoting our Community Economic Development in BC and how much money goes to the people who can't create the jobs and improve CED like small businesses? All talk, no action. No responsibility, no accountability, no transparency, no democracy and a whole bunch of hypocrisy from the bureaucracy. Look at what they did to me with all those good Community Economic Development programs with some psychopaths in charge of the office and some local Politicians on the Board of Directors without any authorisation from the public (I mean no election).
I used to live a decent life, now I have to live like a bum after they destroyed my business and my life. They also destroyed the opportunity for my kids to have a normal University education like I was planning for them.
When some of our local politicians have no conscience, everything goes haywire and the public will always suffer. Click here to find the details.
These non-profit organizations are crooked everywhere you go. It seems B.C. has the worst of them. The people that form them make the public and the government think that they have the best intentions at heart, they get all these loans and grants and membership money. Then they turn around and fleece the membership and the public. The money goes missing. Nobody can account for it. Nobody is held accountable. Yet the crooks laugh all the way to the bank because they know they are getting away with it. I am from Texas originally, before moving to Canada and becoming a Canadian Citizen due to career and love interests. Back in Texas, you'd be hung if you tried to pull stunts like these. There is absolutely no avenue for people to pull crap like this there. I love this great country but it seems like corruption is allowed to run rampant at all levels of government.

Thank you Mike for taking the time to participate in this charade. "You love this country"
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think we are working so hard to protect it from the crooks? We are determined to succeed. Tell more of your friends who would tell their friends about those no-conscience psychopaths among us in sheep's clothing to destroy our democracy. It's hard to "take care" when you have to look at those psychopaths everyday when you go shopping in this small town. It reminds you of what they are doing to the public with our own tax dollars. Thanks again, it's been good to hear from you.
Good comment Mike, one that I totally agree with. In this regard...
ReplyDelete"The country had fallen into a state of moral putrefaction, with corruption running rampant throughout the government ranks."
Fred, finally got someone after our own hearts. :-) How refreshing and confirming is that hey? ;-)
