Oh, Farley Mowat you venerable old crusty Canadian icon; a quote from you in an article by Jane Taber in last week's Saturday Globe and Mail on Green Party Leader Elizabeth May's teenage daughter makes me want to do more than cry wolf!

Commenting on the well-read, independent, politically astute and self-possessed young woman, Mowat comments: ""This is one of the things that is a little bit scary about her. She seems almost unassailable. I wouldn't have the first idea of how to go about trying to seduce her - if I was that kind of guy."

Well. You're obviously the kind of guy that imagines such a scenario. Or, maybe you're the kind of guy that thinks this kind of comment is flattering.

And I'm the kind of gal that finds a comment like this in our national newspaper kind of disturbing.
