While Golden is not an ally of Winnipeg's traditional conservative leadership, he has nonetheless been described as a populist right-winger. He has been equally notorious for his political achievements and business ventures as his personal scandals.

Famous quotes containing the word golden:
“She, as a veil down to the slender waist,
Her unadorned golden tresses wore
Dishevelled, but in wanton ringlets waved
As the vine curls her tendrils, which implied
Subjection, but required with gentle sway,
And by her yielded, by him best received,
Yielded with coy submission, modest pride,
And sweet, reluctant, amorous delay.
Nor those mysterious parts were then concealed:
Then was not guilty shame: dishonest Shame
Of Nature’s works, Honour dishonourable.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
