Dear Editor:

Now that the venerable wise men in the Metis senate (Saskatchewan) have completed their investigation into the massive fraud alleged in the vote count during the 2004 Metis election, it is time to forget everything and accept their worthy adjudication.

Our revered Elders say that to properly "fix" an election, you don't stop just before the finish line. So they selectively disqualified crucial evidence and witnesses germane to the case, kicked out two area directors and completed the job.

So what if Metis nation democracy is a joke? Big deal. Look at what happened in Florida during the 2000 American election. Everybody cheats, so deal with it and move on.

Now that everything is finally settled, would the government please end the funding freeze and let all those beautiful millions of suckers', err...taxpayers' dollars flow back into the pockets of our leadership?
