Of course our idiot council bought it, at least a majority of them. What's scary is that some of these medical types like the ubiquitous Dr. Strang are on the provincial payroll and have the ear of govt. It would not surprise me if the NDP types might slide some sort of ridiculous advertising legislation through. In ALLNS today the NDP's medical poster boy, Dr John Ross, was a co-author of a letter calling for such moves. Watch out. These people are dangerous.

Next we will be renaming the Mooseheads. For those who are concerned with the children: have the concerned adults bothered to ask children what they think?
I asked my nephews (6, 8 and 10) if they knew what Molson was. They had no idea. I asked about Keith's... same thing. Actually, one said he has a friend named Keith. Children do not associate beer names with beer. All my nephews do realize is that beer is "Grandpa's Drink." And They do make fun of me for my empty wine bottles but this hasn't encouraged them to drink either.
