Pie tossing is terrorism says a Canadian MP.

Well now this is ...different.

OTTAWA—A Liberal MP says he believes the federal government should investigate whether the pieing of Fisheries Minister Gail Shea by a woman opposed to the seal hunt constitutes an act of terrorism.

Here's the full story:

I am not contesting that, just referring to your statement about your Prime Minister punching out a fellow that pied him.

This is about a little more then dog breeding hopscotch, it's about and industry that feeds most of the Northern part of Canada.

Canadians are a bit odd a times, I remember seeing a clip on the news of a one of the MP's crying (I'm serious) over some new dog law.

I was just like with all the wars and more serious issues at this time...why is this guy crying about legislature that will affect dog breading?

To label this as a crime or a terrorist activity, seems extreme.

Oh, and if you read the article it's not necessarily pie tossing that he wants declared an act of terrorism, he wants any act of "violence" that seeks to promote a political agenda to be declared terrorism. Basically he's taking aim at PETA for their rather disreputable antics over the seal hunt and about a thousand other things.

We have a history of pie tossings in Canada, it seems to be the thing to do. Our former Prime Minister Jean Cretian was pied in the face and punched out the guy who did it.

In future even showing a finger maybe an act of terrorism.
