Ark of taste - Ark of taste An ark of taste is a movement originally defined in eco-gastronomy, to protect "gastronomic products threatened by industrial standardization, hyperhygienist legislation, the rules of the large-scale retail trade and the deterioration of the environment," according to the Slow Food movement. Originally begun in Northern Italy, the program has regional offices in Germany, France, Switzerland and the United States. An ark of taste is intended to rediscover, catalogue, describe and promote "almost forgotten flavors", e.g. violino di capra, e.g. Caciocavallo podolico, e.g.mullet roe. These food products are in "danger of extinction" due to agricultural policy, consumer habits, wholesale or regulatory standards. Those that are deemed to have real productive and commercial potential, can often be revived, e.g. by local groups devoted to creating these.

Kim Campbell - commercial in which Liberal leader Jean Chrétien's facial paralysis was mocked was largely regarded as the final nail in her campaign's coffin. In the 1993 election, all but two of the Conservative party's candidates lost their seats to a massive Liberal landslide, and Campbell herself failed to hold onto her Vancouver riding.

Campbell returned to lecturing in political science for a few years, this time at Harvard. Then, in 1996, the Liberal government that had defeated Campbell appointed her as Consul General to Los Angeles, a post she remained in until 2000. In.
