Newly minted tourism minister Terry French seems to have a thing for Joe Smallwood.
Consider this bit of his answer to a question about the province’s tourism budget:
Do you know how many awards we have won in marketing in this Province? We have not won one, we have not won ten, and we have not won twenty - fifty-one awards.
French couldn’t have nailed the Smallwood trademark any better if he’d practiced it for hours with Kevin Noble.
There is no truth to the rumour that French was spotted recently in the mall looking for bowties.
But he might have asked Santa for one.
