But let he whom is not guilty cast the first stone.
RIGHT?

Right !! Thanks for acknowledging my right to do so. ...........and that was hardly the first stone. Robert, this place has rained stones for years.

As for the missing $ 60,000, Robert, I am one of those trying to recover it for the inspectors. I had nothing to do with its disappearance, so please don't insinuate that I do.

CMHC no longer shows CAHPI as any door, first or otherwise. There might be some statements on old websites, but as they get changed, I predict you will never again see CMHC recommend CAHPI. Their current leadership has burned far too many bridges and reneged on too many committments.

Bill gets this one correct when he says:

CAHPI can't just take people's money, give them nothing, and then refuse to refund it. Home inspectors are consumers too.

And it looks like the Alberta Government didn't recognize NHICC! Huston we have a problem.

Pity the Realtors had so much influence. Even more disturbing home inspectors input was asked and ignored.
I agree with you there. The initial pronouncements clearly show that 90% of the input was ignored and some with louder voices and deeper pockets (Realtors) carried the day.

Bill stop playing the victim, your modus operandi is legend.

I'm not a victim and I'm not pretending to be one. I am merely pointing out that Vern has done some outstanding work with little recognition. If I feel someone has contributed in a positive way, I like to acknowledge that, even if they have never been an ally of mine.

WOW Am I relieved. WOW man a load off my mind.
I wonder if all those endless years of grease worked?
Man some have all the answers and do not question.
HMMMMMMM.

LOL!

It's the same reason no one joins all these goofy little associations like Ohappy and PeePeeOhNo. They're shells. They're like ASHI is in the states. A big front that doesn't actually do much of anything for its members or the industry.

Inspectors aren't "sheep" as you call them. Inspectors investigate for a living!!! You can't trick them into thinking you are doing something, or worse, trick them into thinking you are going to do something. Inspectors are too smart for that. You have to actually DO something every now and then: www.nachi.org/whats_new.htm

It takes work.

Nice reading... keep it up.

[Nick Gromicko]

Yeah, and the shoe is falling on Ontario.

Nick:

Spin it all you want, but despite all of Vern's hardwork, NACHI was not recognized.

You have made it very clear many times that the CMI is not a NACHI credential and is separate from NACHI. The CMI is recognized due to your own 'refrigerator to Eskimos' sales ability, but nothing related to NACHI was given any recognition.

As far as the 'sheep' comment, that was quite obviously directed at your small kooky group of close admirers who accept your every word without question. The majority of NACHI members are not sheep....in fact, once again, as you did in British Columbia, you threw the regular members under the bus in favour of a few who paid extra to become CMI's.

I am disappointed but not surprised, but it appears the everyday NACHI members in Alberta have nobody but Vern advocating for them.

The Alberta lawmakers made the decision that CMI was what they wanted, since it's standards are much higher the entry level requirements of iNACHI members. Nick would make more money if iNACHI was recognized, instead of CMI. There would be 100 times more people who would qualify to sign up with iNACHI. You talk like Nick has some magical power over the government of Alberta. I didn't realize you had such a high opinion of Nick..

But, I have heard rumors that they created the movie about Harry Potter, based on Nick's life story. You might be on to something there. Nick is probably casting a spell over all of north America as we speak.

Given the errors in that reporters artical, I do not for a second believe Minister Klimchuk said that. There are no references in the regs to engineers and the exterior is listed as an item to be inspected. The reporter's report is wrong.

Bill Mullen publicly calls the Alberta Minister an idiot when he states

The CMI is recognized due to your own 'refrigerator to Eskimos' sales ability

No Bill, the Alberta government is very intelligent. CMI was recognized because it is the inspection industry's highest professional designation.

I think the Alberta government was very correct in their decision to grandfather CMIs only. CMIs have to produce documented proof of 3-years experience, and that seems like an appropriate benchmark for grandfathering.

In one thread, Bill Mullen was able to insult inspectors by calling them "sheep" and the Alberta government by calling them "idiots" who made a decision based on a sales pitch from someone who could sell "refrigerators to Eskimos."

Bill, I see you keep forming new inspection associations that keep failing. I think I might know why no one wants to join anything you head up and I think I might also know why government officials don't like you either.
