I am a "facilitator" right here in my own home AND at my local donut shop! Look the word up in the dictionary. Ben Meisner is one also!

An NDP in the Chamber of Commerce? I wonder what this "facilitator" brings to the table?

I haven't been watching the CC, but I can't imagine there has been a lot of unquestioned support for non-union small business in town with the NDP running the CC show. Free enterprise used to be a key principle of the CC, with an added touch of local lobby for local business. The NDP has never supported that kind of openness, more of a closed shop camp.

And after the election, after Ammonra and three of his comrades vote for Bev, we will have to look at whether Bev has the right philosophy to give direction to the CC.
