Civil disobedience considered by prison farm protesters

Is Stephen Harper ready to face more angry citizens so soon after his G20 fiasco in Toronto? Certainly, the venue will be different -- a smaller city -- and there will be no international spotlight, but it might be unpleasant just the same.

I'm talking about the large number of Kingstonians of all ages who have signed up to help stop the government from selling and removing the dairy herd, established a century ago, from the property of the Frontenac Institution prison farm. It's one of six prison farms slated for closure by the Harper government -- and a clear majority of citizens want it to stay.
