Myriam Bédard made some startling revelations on the sponsorship scandal:
[Myriam Bédard] said that during her tenure at in the marketing department at Via Rail, she was told [by her agent, Jean-Marc St. Pierre] that driver Jacques Villeneuve was secretly paid $12-million (U.S.) to wear the Canadian logo on his racing suit at the 1998 Montreal Grand Prix.However, this seems to be too spectacular to be true: The RDS television network [French version of TSN] reported on Wednesday evening that archive images of Mr. Villeneuve from 1997 to 2003 showed that the logo of Canada could not be found on the uniform and helmet of the pilot.I myself tried to find a photo of Jacques Villeneuve showing him with a "Canada" logo. Negative. I didn't find anything. | Myriam Bédard a fait des révélations saisissantes sur le scandale des commandites:
Elle a déclaré que son ancien agent, Jean-Marc St-Pierre, lui avait dit, dans la loge de Normand Legault au Grand Prix de Montréal, que le pilote Jacques Villeneuve avait reçu 12 millions de dollars américains pour porter le mot "Canada" sur son costume de pilote.Cependant, ça semble être trop spectaculaire pour être vrai: Le réseau de télévision sportif RDS a rapporté mercredi soir que les images d'archives de M. Villeneuve de 1997 à 2003 montraient que le logo du Canada ne se retrouvait pas sur l'uniforme et le casque du pilote.J'ai essayé de trouver une photo de Jacques Villeneuve le montrant avec un logo "Canada". Négatif. Je n'ai rien trouvé. |
She says her husband persuaded Chretien to refrain from the Iraq war.
She has some rumours to contribute but I don't believe more than twenty percent of her words.
i think Gagliano will still get the Oscar for best actor, and she'll probably get a supporting actress nomination; but will lose to Anne.

All in all, this seems like a testimony from outer space.
