The former Scope Vice Chair was not a rep. And I suspect the former Scope Vice Chair will get another chance to volunteer as soon as the MEC Chair is removed.
I am amazed by the level of vindictiveness being displayed by our MEC Chair. A person who should know they will be removed by the MEC perhaps even before the chairs are refilled. This is sad to witness. But in the end, we will emerge stronger and more unified and for that I am grateful.
I guess we can lay to rest the notion that this was the most transparent, open, integrity based MEC in History.
