New Unedited Grewal Tapes Revealed!
The entire Gurmant Grewal affair has been covered in excruciating, nauseating detail by Canadian bloggers. We here at The Maple Lounge have remained uncharacteristically silent throughout the controversy, simply because we had nothing unique to contribute. All of this changed this morning after we received a small parcel of indeterminate origin, addressed simply to "Maple Lounge Blogger" and containing a single unlabeled CD-ROM nestled in copious amounts of bubble wrap.
It turned out to be a data CD loaded with audio files, mostly unedited versions of the famed Grewal tapes, complete with transcripts. The CD also includes spectral analysis data that apparently can be used to identify the speakers, as well as to pinpoint locations where the the original tapes were edited. A final item on the CD is a comparison between the effects various technical glitches can have on an audio recording versus a deliberate discontinuity caused by manual splicing or digital editing.
For the most part the new transcripts reveal merely a few mundane details, as if the person who originally edited the tapes was trying to spare us the awkward pauses and general minutia of your typical conversation. But one audio file in particular contains a startling revelation that links the Grewal affair to the sponsorship scandal and a secret military espionage program.
The following snippet of a conversation between Grewal and an unidentified male gives a taste of just how tantalizing some of these new recordings will be:
The Maple Lounge managed to track down Myriam Bédard, who has graciously agreed to our request for an interview. Tentatively scheduled for the afternoon of Monday June 27th, it is our hope that she'll be able to shed some light on this deepening mystery once she hears the recordings for the first time. Until then The Maple Lounge will refrain from posting any further transcript details. Some of the material may contain potentially incriminating information if indeed these new recording turn out to be genuine.
We strongly encourage whomever sent us these recordings to contact us so we can verify the authenticity of the transcripts. Your privacy will be assured. The Maple Lounge will remain incommunicado whilst legal counsel is sought.

Grewal: "I know about the Brault Identity."
Mr.X: "Who's the rat?"
Grewal: "Bédard. Bédard told me everything."
Mr.X: "Bédard? Let's just get one thing straight right now. Myriam Bédard if fucking crazy. Are we clear?"
Grewal: "You know I can't keep the lid on this, not even for you."
Mr.X: "There must be something we can do."
Grewal: "You know what I want and I ..."
Mr.X: "Look I can't make any promises. That dirty little (unintelligible) ..."
Grewal: "So there's been no progress?"
Mr.X: "My hands are tied. I'll call the big man and we'll try to get things moving."
Grewal: "Let's hope so, for your sake."

"We strongly encourage whomever sent us these recordings to contact us so we can verify the authenticity of the transcripts".
It was me.
I admire your courage in coming forward, Buckets. ;)
From the Myriam Bédard link:
Bédard testified "that Canadian racecar driver Jacques Villeneuve was secretly paid $12 million from the sponsorship fund to wear a Canadian logo."
$12 million and all we got was this stinking crotch logo? For that price ink, needles, and flesh should have been involved.
It was just reported : Grewal was caught on surveillance video trashing a Canadian embassy in Europe...
It's possible he may be sending a message...Matt, you should put ALL your people on this! (and Buckets should be put into protective custody)
Two weeks and no update?
I hope that Darth Svend has not struck again!
Hurry back, Matt! :)
