Canadian equivalent of an attempted assassination
I don't know what it is about today, but seems the stupidity is coming out of the woodwork.

an article about a woman who tried to 'pie' the premier of Alberta. What I love about this 'attack' was that Ed just came into power on December 14, 2006. So, let's see, he is put in charge of Alberta not even 7 months ago, and he is being pied for not building affordable housing for all the people that are flooding to Alberta because of the prosperity. The same people that were probably laughing in their own provinces when us Albertans were complaining about Klein's slashing of all things from education to hospital to start saving some money, bringing Alberta out of debt and giving Alberta a surplus of funds. Now, in 7 months, he is going to snap his fingers and buildings are gonna pop out of the Earth instantly? Come on, give a guy a chance to at least get the ducks in a row, file a few pieces of paper and get things happening.
As for the 'attack', some countries go for a shot gun, some try bombs, some even go so far as to do poison to show their discontent with the leaders of this country. What do Canadians prefer? coconut cream pies, chocolate cream pies or plain and simple eggs. Ohhh, the horrors of Canadians. At least this shows some encouragement that when it comes to the common man on the street we will stab, beat and shoot them when it comes to hating them because they are a different colour, make more money, are of a different race or religion BUT when it comes to the leaders of the country, we restrict ourselves to food products. I wonder if it has to do with the amount of protection. Perhaps if the common citizen had a sort of protection service. Perhaps if there was some strange sort of 'justice' system in place that would either punish the guilty or protect the innocent from those horrible things from happening. I mean, the commoner on the street has nothing and gets shot or stabbed; a premier has a band of people surrounding him and protecting him, and he gets pied. Perhaps, and just a strange thought here, if there actually was enough police in the area, or perhaps the police that we did have showed up within a reasonable time limit, perhaps the crime might go down. Maybe the commoners of Canada might just get pied or egged instead of shot or stabbed.
But, hey, just talking out of the side of my head at the moment, no real concrete evidence to back me up.
