"New Democrat MP Libby Davies said she understands Monday's protest may have heightened tensions, but Parliament Hill is a place that should defend freedom of expression."

As for that ridiculous woman..

Well now they're telling us what to wear--and Gigs is all over that. It's all he wants really, just to be told what to do and what to think by his government. He's one of those kind of guys the Stazi could always rely on to rat out their neighbours.

The ban is due to "recent events," a security guard told a reporter from The Canadian Press who entered the Parliament buildings as a visitor Thursday wearing a Greenpeace T-shirt.

Remember the good old days when reporters reported the news as opposed to trying to make the news?

Technically they're telling us what to wear and what to do.

Remember the good old days, when Parliament did their job of Governing; and Mom and Dad told us what to wear and what to say?

The last big disruption in parliament was directly linked to the NDP and I think it will be only a matter of time before this event is linked back to them again.
