When Canada first opened Air Force stations in France, wine was common as the tap water was unsafe. Years later we saw French Air Force guys taking their break, sitting on a aircraft wing, having their wine and bread. Nobody was getting plastered. Mind you, the German guys were drinking beer.Anything in moderationDPLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-24372172740670987342011-07-31T12:53:43.144-07:002011-07-31T12:53:43.144-07:00There's no question workers in not just the vi...There's no question workers in not just the vineyards of the world but many other workplaces are exploited. <br /><br />But I have in the past worked the US Farmworkers Union in successfully unionizing Washington State farmworkers at Chateau Ste.

She has a long background as a progressive leader, and like it or not most NDP MPs are from Quebec. And his recommendation for temp leader leaves those you mention in a good position to run for the leadership should it be necessary. Good on Jack, and Bill, bury your head in some Long Beach sand.
