The scandal of the open bar at Outremont borough hall has blown up and blown over quickly now that "journalists have finally been invited" to eyeball the "whisky Glenfiddich mais aussi du Saint-Raphaël, du Martini, du gin, de la vodka, du rhum Havana Club 7 ans, du cognac, du vin blanc, du vin rouge, du Champagne, des bières Heineken mais aussi de marque canadienne." It just sounds like any club bar, and Outremont is probably pretty accustomed to regarding itself as a reasonably classy club. In any case, the borough mayor has found out why you need to stand the occasional journalist a free drink.
