Those kids. Why can’t they pick on someone their own size?

At a federal-provincial-territorial meeting on child care at a downtown hotel, provincial ministers were more than willing to speak to media representatives. But the federal delegation ordered reporters off the entire fourth floor where the conference was taking place. Reporters, who couldn’t even tell when the meetings were starting and ending, were ordered downstairs several times. "We had some issues, that I won’t discuss with you. There was possibility of demonstrations, and other issues," said Anita Beau-Soleil for the federal delegation. No sign of demonstrators, unless you count the dozen or so children from the Wellington Child Care Centre whose caregivers were there with the Childcare Advocacy Association for a photo op with sympathetic provincial ministers.
