Or, make a point of buying South African wines, if you want to break the unions there.

I had already planned to go to the liquor store on Saturday. I’ll make sure to buy some South African wines.

May I recommend a bottle of Pinotage, a blend originated in South Africa?

The majority of wine which I purchase is South African. Maybe I’ll get a bottle this weekend.

Of interest especially to those who are old enough to remember the initial struggle in South Africa. The support in Canada was automatically cast on the Mandela side. The included the portrayal of Winnie Mandela as a sort of black Joan of Arc. This portrayal was dropped as further information revealed Winnie as being somewhat violent(enough said). No doubt there is a deal to be done for poorer labourers.

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) carried an excellent South African sherry. It was called "Old Paarl. Dutifully they took it off the shelves. One wine drinker told me he ordered a case, when he got wind of the boycott. I thought at the time, that heaven help my fellow Canadians, if the indigenous population outnumbered them by four to one. This was the dilemna of white South Africa. It is in dispute though, as to whether the black people in that country are actually indigenous.

I hope to be excused this digression, but today, a tiny minority of indigeneous people in Canada are causing some major problems. Idle No More is the movement.There can be few illusions if the more radical of them were actually a majority over non-natives.
