Editor's Note - I can appreciate why the co-op failed when Victoria keeps moving the "goal posts".  It's hard to plan for anything when Victoria/Ottawa keep changing the rules... hopefully the Co-Op can get back on track and the meat co-op can become reality.  The local MLA (Donna Barnett) indicates that she is committed to this goal
