I am not a licensed trapper in Alberta so can't say what is going on in the ATA, but I have been president of 2 different organizations; one small and other fairly large. I can guarantee that if, as speaking as the president, I came on to a public forum and said the equivalent of:
"The Alberta Trappers Association and AEP have come to an agreement whereby the responsibility for the administration, licensing, and some regulatory functions will be transitioned to the ATA over the next year."
Only to have it come out 4 months later that as far as the other side is concerned not only has no deal been reached but they haven't even been approached, calls for my resignation would be coming in faster than I can type the letter to do so. The whole thing is just a mess to me and someone needs to clean it up. Not the ones who created it though.
