I could see €50 as reasonable, but certainly not €250.
you shouldn't have your lawful right to vote your shares held ransom by utterly ridiculous "fees".
I'd contact Lafrance or the Transfer Agent and seek advice.
Yes, I'd accept €50 although this would still not be cheap.
I asked Chris for advice. He said there's nothing I could do because this is a TSX cross border stock and it's very expensive for them to set up the infrastructure to vote my shares. Too bad!
