The Canadians usually have a better sense of perspective than we do, but this story from Ottawa makes it looks like they’re working on closing the Idiocy Gap:

An Ottawa police dog’s interest in a 15-year-old boy’s ski jacket during an impromptu drug search at an Orléans high school yesterday moved school officials to immediately suspend the student — even though he had no drugs on him.

While even the school’s principal admitted she could not smell any marijuana on Chris Laurin’s coat, the dog’s word proved final.
