Teen investigated for homework threat to Bush
When I was in grade 7, we had a project to make a poster celebrating Canada's 125th anniversary. I saw little to celebrate, really. I didn't see the point of nationalism. I was nine years old when we signed the Free Trade Agreement with the US, and the year I turned 11, I was walking around wearing buttons protesting the application of the newly passed GST to the sale of books. So, annoyed at the assignment, I drew a picture of then-PM Brian Mulroney setting fire to a Canadian flag.
I got in a boatload of trouble for that. I suppose today CSIS would have investigated it, given that 11-year-olds are a great threat to freedom and democracy.
