I have family in Chatham and that boy's death was traumatic for the whole community. I have no problem with those MP's looking out for the sensibilities of their constituents. It is a non-violent means of expressing displeasure with DQ's ad. Nothing wrong about that.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06509182679650412982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4627755197994529937.post-36113914142946477652007-04-24T13:50:00.000-04:002007-04-24T13:50:00.000-04:00If there's one thing kids understand it's imitatin...If there's one thing kids understand it's imitating what they see.

If you never had a child die, needlessly, you might be more understanding why these 2 MPs are making a 'big deal' out of it.<BR/>I would expect McGuinty should to, considering that the ANTI-BULLYING CAMPAIGN was a huge Liberal initiative.susansmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02573558646874765432noreply@blogger.com
