   It hasn't gotten general coverage in what's left of the Fourth estate   
   in the Colonies, but since I've been enchanted by my A Number One   
   Unobtainable Canadian Heart Throb I've been following stories   
   from the home of Canadian Tire (sic) and bumped into this.   
      
   My real question, of course, is what happened to make this common   
   practice suddenly become embarassingly news worthy?  Did they arrest   
   Ford's sister in law or make some other mistake?
