Strangely enough, you'll find nothing of the sort in the minutes of the meeting. I also have copies of the minutes for every AEP/ATA meeting while the NDP were in power and guess what? Not even a hint of anything like that.
It's kind of funny that people believe nonsense like this and repeat it as fact. However, after over a decade of repeating this rumor over and over as justification for virtually every scheme that the ATA wants to promote, who can blame anyone for taking it as fact. I guess that it's true......If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
Believe whatever you want but for (EDIT) $25 you can submit a FOIP and get the facts. It's a real eye opener and well worth the money IMO. |
They have said many times the conservative government was gonna take away RFMA’s and then the NDP and now the UCP is going to??? Come up with some new scare tactics. Don’t trust the new leadership at all
