This makes me cautiously angry.

Cautiously, because the Star is a notoriously liberal paper that has been known to take the sides of people who didn't have much of a leg to stand on otherwise. (For example, when the Toronto PD conducted a series of drug raids a while ago that resulted in several hundred arrests without a single shot being fired, the Star's headline was all about one poor woman's children who were terrified when the police came into her home and arrested her brother, who was staying with her. Sorry, lady - not a lot of sympathy for a woman who lets her drug-dealing brother camp out on a couch in the same house as her children.) Still, I've watched the video linked in the article, and the arrest records for the protest show that these three people were never processed as having been arrested - which argues that, perhaps, they weren't. Why wouldn't they have been processed after being very visibly arrested? Maybe because the visible arrest was a smokescreen designed to hold up their cover?

Budding lawyer

Last weekend, sassy_fae gave me a copy of, "A Toddler's guide to Parents."

Just now, Piet caught Claire sitting on the kitchen floor, the book open in front of her, making notes in the front cover with one of Elizabeth's pencils.

I believe this says all that one needs to know about the personality of my 15-month-old.
