| The Real Pierre Poutine |
Smoke’s may have those obnoxious head
stickers plastered all over town, but Pierre’s Poutine
has achieved true Guelph infamy: it’s the epicentre of a political scandal. For now anyway.
Revelations yesterday that a disposable cell
used to call RackNine Inc, the robocall company that tried to Pied Piper Guelph
voters to polling places sometimes 90 minutes out of their way, was registered
to “Pierre Poutine.” The news, which was gained through access to court
documents, is the biggest thing to hit poutine since cheese curds, and has
turned a Guelph small business into a national name brand.
Now “Pierre Poutine” is not a particularly
cleaver alias, neither is his equally fake address on Separatist Street in
Joliette, but considering there’s already been one Guelph connection in this
mess (vis-à-vis the aforementioned Michael Sona), I’m beginning to wonder if
someone was making You Tube videos, documenting the whole affair for posterity.
