Won’t somebody think of the children?

On tonight’s episode of Cops: Parliament Hill
By Aaron Wherry

Yesterday, in response to a very serious question from Conservative MP Lawrence Toet about Thomas Mulcair’s driving, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews very seriously fretted about the very serious ramifications of irresponsible driving on Parliament Hill.

Thousands of tourists, including many children, pass through Parliament Hill every week. Last week, the conduct of the NDP leader could have put them at risk.

Presumably the minister’s concerns extend to those who drive on Parliament Hill while talking on their cellphones.

Update 12:44am. Via Twitter, Ms. Adams says the ticket was for not coming to a complete stop.
