The Vince ("Always") Ready Show

Vince Ready, widely regarded as the Rainmaker in labor disputes, has now placed himself in the middle of the BCTF-Liberal government impasse. Watching Mr. Ready on television, we noted a strong resemblance to Lou Grant, and thought, "There's a movie in his story!" Someone call Ed Asner.

The premiers of Saskatchewan and British Columbia have reached an agreement on inter-provincial free trade of wines and spirits. This means residents of Saskatchewan will be able to drink Burrowing Owl and Township 7, and British Columbians will get #1 Hard Rye. The deal was reached during Happy Hour at a Charlottetown bar.

Our Hollywood insider reports that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have married, surprising those of us who thought they had been married for years. It is not known if George Clooney was on hand to give the groom away.

And back to Vince Ready: Looking ahead to the inevitable 2015 debate among Canada's Conservative, Liberal, NDP and Green Party leaders, we believe the proceedings would be more focused and more civil if Mr. Ready were to act as mediator. Failing that, the networks will have to bring in Whitey Dropko to referee a tag team match.
