Re: “Just say no — really loudly — to palm oil”
Earth hour is the biggest environmentalism global hoax. Its doing Nothing!!! Literally. No environmental issues are solved. Its nothing but people sitting in a dark room for a hour feeling smug about how wonderful they are for doing their part to save the planet.
You know what would be useful? Inventing something while the lights are on and the machines are running that can help the earth.
Earth hour just kicks the can with our environmental issues in it down the road. I personally cant wait for North Korea to start world war 3. Then I wont be subjected again to such idiocy as people doing nothing but smelling their own farts in the dark one hour out of the year feeling proud of their global contribution.

Re: “A wine list that puts customers first”
Much of your thoughts here are great (especially lamenting the distributor list), however in the US our wine pricing in under attack and therefore the way a restaurant makes ends meet via wine prices has come under attack as well.
I realize that retail wine is much different in Canada than here, but the Guigal Cotes du Rhone can be found via winesearcher site at prices ranging from $10.99 a bottle to $13.99. A restaurant does not have the volume or need to purchase the "deal" on certain wines to be even in the same league as retail. So what was once a "double retail is a fair price", has become very difficult to quantify these days. Plus the old retail mark-up of 50% or more is long gone. Wine retail mark-up now starts at 20% and I know of some closer to 15%.
