Seated together in the theatre were Denis Coderre (right), who resigned in a huff as the Liberals’ Quebec Lieutenant, and Pablo Rodriguez, who was named president of the federal Liberal Quebec caucus after Montreal MP Marc Garneau replaced Coderre.

    I was there, and James Moore ate 9 sandwiches.

      They do look like they would have been fantastic!

        I once saw Moore and Del Mastro at Hys wolfing down on a plate full of appetizers that would have been sufficient for at least 6 or 7 people.

          Maybe they were eating for a few lucky constituents :)

      It's tough to stick to a glutton-free diet.

    Would it have been so hard to get the actors names, rather than identifying them as "one of the actors" (with the exception of the star)?

      too busy taking food pictures i guess….

    • Snorri

      I completely agree. Lazy.

      Yeah I don't want to turn this into an anglo vs. franco debate. But I'm pretty sure that if it was an English movie, all the actors would be identified. I mean come on! Rémy Girard was photographed, he's one of the best known actors in French-Canada. Put a tiny bit of effort into this, for the sake of the country's unity. (Hehe… yeah I went there, but mostly in jest).

        *if it were an English movie

    He was too busy trying to get into Trudeau's pants.

  • burlivespipe

    I think the photos are of James Moore's plate… And her barbie shoes are no match for her boss' barbie collection.

    Someone ought to tell Shelly Glover the 80's are over. Her hair!!
