Thank you Mr. Populi

Good Day Readers:

We wish to thank Mr. Populi (The Public Eye) for posting the following article on his site (Truth To Power - www.accesstoinfo.blogspot.com; vicpopuli1.gmail.com).

The blank lines refer to former Plaintiffs who signed Notices of Discontinuance removing themselves from the Manitoba Metis Federation's alleged defamation lawsuit against the now defunct www.CyberSmokeBlog.blogspot.com. They are:

RICHARD DELARONDE
DARREL DESLAURIERS
BONNIE McINTYRE
ROSEMARIE McPHERSON

The fifth person is VANESSA EVERTON who was dropped from the lawsuit shortly after writing a November 9, 2006 "hear no evil, see no evil, do no evil, smell no evil" type letter to Plaintiff David Chartrand to describe her knowledge of possible MMF malfeasance. Unfortunately, Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench Rules prevent us from reproducing it's content verbatim.

You can read more background on the Affidavit by visiting our November 24, 2009 article, "What are you hiding David Chartrand?"

Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk

AFFIDAVIT OF CLARE L. PIEUK

I, Clare L. Pieuk of the City of Winnipeg, in the province of Manitoba MAKE OATH AND SAY THAT:

1. As a Defendant in this action I have personal knowledge of the matters hereinafter deposed to by me save and except where same are stated to be based upon information and belief in which case I do verily believe same to be true.

2. During 2003 Bernie Shore, Head Accountant for the Manitoba Metis Federation, sent approximately 60 form letters to MMF staff and officials requesting it be signed and returned if they agreed with the amount shown as owing in travel advance monies. The total was over $111,000. Plaintiff John Fleury had the largest outstanding sum at over $19,000. Plaintiffs David Chartrand and Elbert Chartrand were cited for in excess of $13,000 and $8,000 respectively. I do verily believe Plaintiff Riddle was also on the list as may have been other Plaintiffs.

3. The documents surrendered by me to MMF Counsel were received from various anonymous sources beginning in approximately 2002. I was aware of the existence of most and perhaps all when Lionel Chartrand prepared the allegedly defamatory petition posted on cybersmokesignals.

SWORN BEFORE ME at the City of Winnipeg in the Province of Manitoba, this 19th day of November, 2009.
