And didn't someone break into Steven Harper's or Jean Chretien's house with a plastic butter knife or something?

If they did, it was probably for the pie. It's all about the damned pie.

... just read the wikipedia on the event and not only was I wrong about a plastic knife, but it's also kind of fucked up in a lot of ways... André Dallaire (born 1961) is a Quebecois man who attempted to assassinate Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien in 1995. Dallaire claimed that he heard voices that led him to break into the 24 Sussex Drive residence. At trial, Justice Paul Bélanger agreed with Dallaire's earlier diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia and found Dallaire guilty of attempted murder, but not criminally responsible. At 02:10 UTC−5 on November 5, 1995, Dallaire arrived outside 24 Sussex Drive and spent the next 20 minutes throwing stones onto the grounds and waving at security cameras while carrying a pocket knife alternately described as three or five inches in length (7.6 to 12.7 cm). He then climbed the fence and strode over to the house, where he smashed a glass door and entered, wandering around the basement and ground floor for 30 minutes before heading to the Chrétiens' bedroom, where he was confronted by Chrétien's wife Aline as he was pulling on his gloves. Aline hurried back into the bedroom and locked the door, rousing her husband, who initially dismissed her story as "just a dream", while she dialled the RCMP officers stationed outside the house. Stories diverged as to whether Jean or Aline Chrétien brandished an Inuit stone sculpture of a loon in case Dallaire broke through the door. Dallaire did not attempt to break down the door, and waited for the police to arrive. Controversially, it took seven minutes for the police to respond to Aline's desperate call about an intruder trying to kill the Prime Minister, in part because the first officer to respond had forgotten his key to the residence. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Dallaire
