Premier Bets on Lions

By 250 News

Premier Gordon Campbell is betting he will  have a chance to  tast some Quebec Apple Cider after the Grey Cup game.  He has  entered into a freindly wager with Premier Jean Charest over who will win the Grey Cup.

Premier Campbell  has put a case of premium B.C. wine on the line, confident the Lions will take home the cup.  Charest is backing the Alouettes and has countered with a case of Quebec apple cider.

B.C.'s Coast Forest and Lumber Association also stepped up to back the Lions and sweeten the wager by offering to ship the wine in 12 wine boxes crafted from B.C. wood.

The Premier says "I know Montreal is still hurting after their overtime loss in the final last year, but the Lions beat Montreal in their last Grey Cup victory in 2000, and I expect we'll see them do it again this year."
