The premier denounced these concerned citizens as &#8220;a bunch of yahoos&#8221; who were reckless. Many now wear the term &#8220;yahoo&#8221; as a badge of honour. A week ago, the protest had swelled to 200. On a frigid, windy May 9 &#8212; yes, it must be global warming &#8212; there were 400 protesters of all ages in Queen&#8217;s Park.
