Baird delivered a case of 24 Molson Canadian to Kerry in London, where they are both attending meetings of G8 foreign ministers, after the U.S. women beat the Canadians 3-2 in the gold-medal game in Ottawa on Tuesday. But Baird said that a case of Beau's, a microbrew made in Vankleek Hill, Ont., just outside of Baird's constituency, would be delivered to the staff at the U.S. embassy in Ottawa. The Beau's Lugtread Ale comes with a custom label reading "Congrats to our friends and neighbours. We'll get you next time! See you in Sochi!!"

[QUOTE=PassTheBong;40250696]As much as I dislike Baird this is pretty funny. "here, have some REAL beer"[/QUOTE] Well at least he gave them some Beau's to apologize for giving him Molson Canadian
Canadians are so damn nice.
Man, I live in Canada and everyone says sorry even if they did nothing wrong :v:
[QUOTE=Mike Tyson;40251542]Man, I live in Canada and everyone says sorry even if they did nothing wrong :v:[/QUOTE] Do they say sorry for unnecessarily saying sorry?
[QUOTE=IKTM;40251591]Do they say sorry for unnecessarily saying sorry?[/QUOTE] Ya, sorry, we do. Sorry.
The microbrew company is loving this... Free massive publicity.

It's kinda crazy to think that if marijuana never became illegal, this same story could be switched but instead of beer, he gives him Canadian weed. Nevermind it's not crazy.
[QUOTE=EliteGuy;40252237]Stereotyping isn't nice[/QUOTE] Sorry we shouldn't be so easy to stereotype. Sorry about that.
[QUOTE=EliteGuy;40252237]Stereotyping isn't nice[/QUOTE] Most Canadians are so damn nice, but some are utter shit. Better? :v:
That sounds about right! And I do agree that we do say sorry for a lot of stuff that doesn't really need it.
Hahahahaha this is amazing, and i gotta agree with chronic buds. It would be even more hilarious if he was like "Have an OZ of our finest B.C Bud!"
But... that's owned by an american company
[QUOTE=SIRIUS;40256980]But... that's owned by an american company[/QUOTE] Sorry for that!

Halifax is like the worlds biggest congregation of kind people.
Beer is a good gift. Tuborg is a kingly gift.

From a CNN article on the topic: [quote]As the two men departed the room, Kerry said he looked forward to seeing Baird again. “Absolutely. When the Senators beat the Bruins,” Baird responded, referring to the men’s hockey teams from Ottawa and Boston, respectively.[/quote] God damnit John, don't say that! The Sens can never beat the Bruins!
