Or, you know, on Calgarypuck for that matter?
Although I'm not really opposed to people conducting non-violent illegal civil disobedience, provided they don't destroy any property or hurt anyone. If people feel strongly enough that they're willing to go to jail for their beliefs, I think I'm generally on board, because sometimes just holding up signs and chanting doesn't really do anything to get eyes on your issue. "Fifty protesters jailed" tends to get attention.
I'm less sure what I think about a sitting MP doing it; that seems like the sort of thing that should cost you your seat. And obviously I think the cause in this case is a stupid one, but that's just me.
