Niccolo and Donkey

From Speakeasy

The owner and administrator of Speakeasy, Niccolo is of Balkan-Roma descent and lives in downtown Toronto, Ontario with his life partner, Liberian expatriate and tone-poet Deborah Allawi. They have one three-year old daughter, Sunshine, whom Niccolo proudly describes as "Canada's future governor-general!"

Speakeasy was temporarily down for a month after Niccolo was shot to death by NATO soldiers on a trip back to Croatia, but was resurrected after 30 days with its owner.

The man is also a well known jeans and cigarette smuggler to Croatian and Canadian authorities. Niccolo doesn't like Slovenians either, every time he tries to cross the border they call him cigan (i.e. gypsy).
