You're joking right? Yanking chain, yes? Have to be. The "confiscate his winter coat" thing set me to howling here though.
Thanks for the laugh. :D
When I first heard the term "Idle No More" (was the other day, mentioned on the radio) I thought it was some movement by environmentalists to stop people from idling their cars in winter. Because a lot of people do that, idle their cars when it's cold, to warm them up. Because no one likes driving in a cold car, with a frozen steering wheel, and a CD player that won't quite sound right until the interior of the car warms up. It made perfect sense, "idle no more" being about cars, and the environment.
But I see now that I was wrong.
