"A young Canadian boy is being held in Miami today by a group of Canadian expatriates who refuse to let him be returned to his father in Canada. The boy, one Ernie MacDougal, was visiting Disney World with his mother when she fell out of the ride on Splash Mountain. After what some say is a miraculous survival aided by members of the Miami Dolphins, he reached the end of the ride where he was interviewed by Disney security. Asked repeatedly where he was from, he kept repeating 'Saskatoon, Saskatchewan'. On the taking of this as the babblings of delirium, the boy was turned over to Dr. Phil McCracken, the physician on duty at the park at the time. As luck would have it, Dr. McCracken is a Canadian who had himself fled the tyranny of having the Canadian government tell him how to run his practice, and had come to the United States in hopes of having large publicly traded corporations tell him how to run his practice. Recognizing in the boy a fellow countryman, his family swept the boy away to their home in Miami and called the media to announce their intention to prevent the boy from being returned to a country where he could not be free to take a gun to school to defend himself against the other 6 year old kids with guns. Other Canadian expatriates have formed a human shield around the house, linking arms and shouting 'Hell no, he won't go, eh' The boy's father in Saskatoon has issued a public demand for his return, but as yet has shown no sign of willingness to travel to Miami. State department experts on Canada believe that he is not allowed to leave Canada until he manages to complete a multipage passport application in flawless French. Ironically, the boy's mother was later found shot in the Disney parking lot by muggers who mistook her for a German tourist." >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ... no url, passed by email/PM .... lol .... cheers
