John Molson

It tastes like Canadians are going in my mouth, and I'm really liking that about it.

Pretty cool that John Molson also did this, you know, so that's cool.

Established 1786, also pretty interesting.

History buffs out there.

The Parti Canadien was a small-L liberal, middle-class, francophone political party that operated in the lower house, the Legislative Assembly, raging against the corruption and excesses of the upper house, or Legislative Council, as well as the Chateau Clique, a small collection of elite families that controlled access to wealth and power within the province.

Despite the French name Chateau-Clic, many members of this high society were Anglophones, including James McGill and John Molson, names that still resonate in Montreal and beyond.

Governor General Dalhousie wouldn't normally meet with the reformers, seeing them through the lens of 1776, believing them to be plague-bearers infected with the American disease.

He did, however, offer Papineau a seat in the Legislative Council in 1820, trying to entrench the moderates, or at least tie them to the Crown's interest that they would support the status quo, as they had done with the Catholic Church.
