Hi Bella, Was just atching the news and it goes from bad to worse. Guess who
gets first pick of the tickets, yes, all in the bid committee all MLA's
everyone in cabinet, first Nations ( they seem to be coming out of this very
nicely and the list goes on and on and I believe they all get them free and
extra for their friends, I just couldn't watch any more. It is SICKENING.
Anything arranged for the 22nd? They have to know how the rest of the people
feel! Sonia
