Goats Do Roam in Villages
While we watched the Apprentice we sipped on a bottle of Goats do Roam in Villages 2003 Red. It’s a great name, and a passable wine. $14.95 at the LCBO.
The name is a pun on Cotes du Rhone. The wine is a blend of a number of grapes, including Pinotage. It’s dry, not super fruity, and a bit gamey. Forgettable nose, and a modest finish.
Let’s have an election.
The ban is lifted, and you can read / view much of Jean Brault’s testimony courtesy of the CBC. It’s unbelievable stuff. For instance:
Brault revealed that he cut a deal with (Liberal Party organizer) Corriveau in the spring of 1998 to return to the Liberal party 10 per cent of the 12 per cent commission fees he charged on sponsorship contracts. These "IOUs," he said, were masked through false invoices.
You can boil it down to this: Liberal Party Capos were racketeers who extorted money from the faithful to line party coffers.
This is Chretien’s Legacy, and Paul Martin is the guy who has to take the fall for it. Do the honourable thing, Paul. Admit that the Liberal Party doesn’t have the moral authority to govern anymore. Resign, and call and election.
