It’s been a crappy year. You all know why. And all of you have been pretty amazing to me.
So, I’m going to have a New Year’s Day levee thing at my place in the County to thank you. Drop on by, try out some of the excellent local wines and beers, say hi.
If you are going to be in or around the County on New Year’s Day, let me know at wkinsella@gmail.com and I will get you the deets.
And thank you.

Our system works. The Rule of Law is the best and only way.
This is vindication for Jody. This is a serious sentence for the company. And it is a valuable lesson for Trudeau et al.
Will they learn it? Who knows.
But I do know this: those 6,000 jobs Trudeau said over and over would be lost?
Not one will be.
And, tonight, SNC’s stock is way up.
…but it amuses me it still irritates the trolls.
