Hi Kev, I remember once seeing Lester Pearson speaking in a local theatre, long before before it was a 'crime' to challenge our political overlords. In response to a heckler, who was booed by the audience, Pearson said, "That's okay. Let them show their colours, their dirty colours."
I'm old enough to remember when pols dealt with these situations with humour and wit, now they hide behind jackboots
