Every morning, my mother watches Canada AM (For those of you unfamiliar with it, Canada AM is a morning news program that plays at the ungodliest hours of the morning, when no one really *should* be up - which may explain why all the broadcasters are a *little* bit crazy.). I used to always miss Canada AM back when I got up at more reasonable hours, but as I now get up at six every day, it's always on by the time I drag myself into the kitchen. While the anchors are giving you the "important" news, there's a little bar underneath the main picture, and through it runs other news items, white text on black. This morning, one of the lines read: "Liberals to decide fate of dissident MLA." I turned to Mum, and asked her about it.
Me: "Dissident? Meaning... he disagreed with them." Mum: "Ah, well, they don't tolerate things like that, the Liberals." Me: "What; democracy?" Mum: *nodding sagely* "Right."
