MP Letter

All these letters came from questions about December 4th 2009's letter from Mr Rushton to Incorporation Canada to change the constitution with no authority what-so-ever, just on BS. A local politician at work as a volunteer, Chair of the CFDCMW with no mandate what-so-ever from the public, self appointed and to them it's just small potatoes. What happened to the big word that we are all proud of and call DEMOCRACY? We will post the main letter after your next question.



Annual Barbecue NOT AGM

"We used to have open house but nobody came."
Not so, Mr Mitchell. The reason why the open house was cancelled is because people like to ask questions and you had no answers. "Tell the truth please" You started fund raising to eliminate the Annual General Meeting (AGM), where the election for the Board of Directors of Community Futures is supposed to happen. I believe an election for the Board of Directors is more important than fund raising. You can stand at the barbecue all you want, but you're not impressing anyone but yourself. If you manage the Community Futures properly, according to the rules, the By-Laws, the contract with WED, then you would impress everyone. You are not in partnership with Western Economic Diversification. You have a contract with WED signed by both parties. Please do not mislead the public. At the open house, which doesn't happen anymore, you get to meet the staff and the Board. If the public asks questions you cancel the AGM and you cancel the open house and you go make hamburgers and you're proud of yourself. You state that "Few people know Community Futures is a small business lending program." It is not a lending program. It is a program to diversify the economy, specifically not to compete with the existing businesses.
You state that someone said "Oh, you're the people who give all the money away."
People are telling the facts the way they see it. Give all the money to the friends before anyone else knows there is money available and not necessarily through loans. We know the details.

You say you are better than the bank. I asked the manager of the bank in 2000 and she told me "If we were running the bank like they are running the Community Futures, we would all be out of a job in a week."

You can blow your horn all you want, we know what you guys did and are still doing. You just like to perpetuate the problem and not run the place according to the rules and that's not acceptable in a Democratic society.

Control, Control, Control.

We see the same crap now, that we have been through in the past. The same people want to cover all the seats that are open to the public as volunteers. The manager of the Community Futures Development Corporation of Mt Waddington, Mr David Mitchell, who can't even do that job properly he's also the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Port Mc Neill, he's also on the Board of Directors of Venture Connect Project. That is all intertwined with a bunch of Community Futures to destroy more businesses and fool the public in believing that help is on the way. Mr Mitchell is also on the Vancouver Island North Tourism Advisory Committee with the past Manager of the Community Futures who made such a good mess before Mr Mitchell got here. A real recipe for success. They do all this without a mandate from the public. Where the F--- has democracy gone?!?! Has democracy gone for a shit? Or do we have too many smart politicians who figure that we don't have to respect democracy.
Why do we have democracy if we don't put it into practice?

A Poem By Sara Poirier

Lust For Power

By Sara Poirier

The milk pumped from betrayal is oh so sour,
But we must use it to feed our lust for power.

Climb to the highest point on the social tower,
Stay there a life time and only work for an hour.

Cover their eyes and keep the cash flowing,
Don't tell the outsiders where it is going.
Spend it all without anyone knowing,
Make sure there is no evidence showing.

The poor are starving while the rich get fatter,
The wealthy stand on top while the peasants hold the ladder.
Empty promises while the economy get sadder,
A political debate turns to mindless chatter.

Parents teach us manners but they are so rude,
The children ran because they were abused,
The trees are clear of birds that once coed,
Nothing is left, it was all used.

Democracy To No Democracy

1) The Federal Government has oppositions. Good oppositions, good Government.

2) The Provincial Government also has oppositions to make sure that the rules are followed with exactly the same ideas as the Federal Government.

3) When you get to the Municipal Government the opposition disappears. Why is that?
    If you complain about your local Government you are called a psycho or you are taken to court under    a charge of "Secret Commission" and they blame everybody except the real shysters.
The problem is our politicians appoint themselves to the advisory commissions, to the advisory committees, to the societies, on and on...Trust this trust that no room for the members of the public who would be willing to give their time to make sure the place is run according to the rules. Now you figure all of this out.

Part 5 - Membership

#1

#2

#3

#1: After you read this part you will find that there is room for members of the Corporation. 5.2 states 4 classes of them. Incorporated in 1995 and all the applicants have agreed to be the first members of the Board of Directors, therefore, valid for that year.

#2: A very different one. In 2009 they eliminated ll the classes of members of the Corporation and they ended up with only Board members. Where did they find the power to do this when only the members of the Corporation can sanction an ammendment to the Charter of Incorporation? Therefore, invalid.

#3: On their website you will find this. Trying to justify the reason for the manipulation on #2 by stating just part of the rules. You be the judge of this debate.

Membership Application

You will find this phoney membership application on The Community Futures Development Corporation of Mount Waddington's website.

I wish to become a member:
Why do you have to have an excuse to become a member of that Corporation? You pay taxes, that's good enough. Even when you run for any election you have to be 18 and be a Canadian for 6 months and that's it.

I agree that:
4) I can abide by the By-Laws of CFDCMW.
The same people that put this paper out don't even follow the By-Laws themselves. No AGM, no Members of the Corporation, no Election, but you must follow the By-Laws, not them. Where is the joke?
The By-Laws #1 say:
Term 8.5
Must be elected every year at an AGM by the Members of the Corporation.
Is this not misleading the public at the highest degree?????
Now you figure out why our small businesses are in trouble. The people in power lost their minds.
