Upper-crust federal Liberals in Victoria are preparing for a night of cocktails and schnapps with Justice Minister Irwin Cotler, Public Eye has learned. Invites to the event were extended to members of the exclusive Laurier Club, whose members donate $1,000 or more to the Grits each year. The grand gathering is being hosted by Victoria constituency association executive member and real estate developer Jurgen Weyand. There's currently some discussion about whether event attendees will ask Minister Cotler about British Columbia Marijuana Party president Marc Emery's arrest-by-request of the United States.
