Watch for state-run restaurants in Canada now

imageThe restaurant at which some of the Chretien/Martin Liberal Party did some of their alleged mob-like transactions with your tax dollars in order to defeat the Conservatives and maintain political power over you forever more, is a place called Ristorante Frank, and may now become famous because of all the attention. 

Frankly, I think I’d be too scared to dine there knowing what allegedly goes on there, what with all the passing of unmarked envelopes full of taxpayer cash being allegedly paid to Chretien/Martin Liberal Party fund-raisers and what-not. 

Unfortunately for the liberals, unlike state-run CBC and Via Rail, Frank’s is not state-owned, so the Liberals won’t be able to screw us out of Frank’s cash to fund their next election campaigns. 

So I’m on guard for the possibility of state-run restaurants now.  They’ll probably have “private” sections in the back for Liberals to “transact” the people’s business, next to the meat locker.  Actually it’s liberals we’re talking about, so it might be next to the vegetable and grain bins. There’ll be free condom dispensers, unisex washrooms, and it will be a trans-fats-free zone. 

But state-run restaurants aside, this all raises the question stemming from my previous entry in which I mentioned how a columnist called this “Canada’s Watergate”.  Since these things are named after key locales such as the Watergate Hotel, shouldn’t we call this Liberal Party corruption scandal “Ristorante Frank”, just to be fair to Frank? 

I just have to repeat this storyline simply because it’s just so hard to for me to get my head around the fact that Canadians have been so totally suckered into voting for these people:

Mr. Brault said that he met Joe Morselli, a friend of former Public Works minister Alfonso Gagliano who was responsible for Liberal party fundraising in Quebec, at an Italian restaurant and was asked to leave envelopes filled with cash on a chair.

“I went up to go to the bathroom,” he said. “When I got back, the money was gone.”

The photo was of Montreal’s Ristorante Frank, in the city’s Little Italy, is where Jean Brault said envelopes of cash were left on tables for pickup. I’m sure it’s a fantastic restaurant and I recommend people eat there.
