1 Thanks, Debbye! Just one correction - it's actually Lance, who lives much closer than I do to Poundmaker, that is doing the actual grocery run So far, we've collected about $500.00 or so. Which seems like a lot, but groceries for at least 30 people.. that will last for only a couple of days.

2 I support your adventure and wish you al well but am on Vancouver Island so out of reach. Anyway only one comment here and I know that's not allowed so food for thought... Do you really think Auditor General Fraser is a hero? With cautious respect. Is the Auditor General office and staff functioning properly? How come it took over ten years to get these blatant excesses looked at? And on that huge budget too. I don’t see how the Auditor General could have contained knowledge of this sprawling mess. This is just a measure of Liberal repentance and timely damage control. Lets get something constructive done, we have to demand Whistle Blower Protection law with real TEETH. Not wishy-washy ‘should dos’ as Fraser suggests. Allan Cutler blew the whistle on Guite over ten years ago. That should have saved us millions. Instead, Cutler was sacked. What knuckle dragging stupidity. Martin promised to enact independent Ministry and department Account & Audit. He's an expert on how to stop pilfering. Trouble is he has to be forced to keep any promise he makes. He made that promise during his CBCTV Grovel speech. It will cut off the Liberal’s mad money somewhat, but any sacrifice is ok to hold onto power. Yet, I suggest Martin will hope we apathetics forget the promise he made about account and audit. Let’s get hard law enacted now! Then, no matter who is in power, our National Revenues will remain fairly secure. 73s TonyGuitar at bendgovernment.blogspot.com This whole farce has gone on long enough, don’t you think. When are real Canadians going to organize and do something concrete about this mess?
