He told The Canadian Press that his two daughters, who are 13 and 15, and his ex-wife were having breakfast with two friends — a man and his wife. The man had recently travelled overseas and brought back some tea from India. The relative did not know the name of the tea.
That kicked off the “whole crazy spell,” he said.
Mounties have said a man, woman and baby were forced against their will from a home in Leduc County into a BMW. Inside the car were five naked people. While the car was being driven, the abducted man, who was in the trunk, managed to escape. The woman and her baby then managed to get away.

Closest thing Canada has to a Tea Party, I guess.
Al Gore was in Canada ?
They’ve come a long way from hosing gas, eh?
Kewl. Well they used to drink trippy tea in 1977, or so I heard. From reliable sources, you know.
Ping
Can this “Tea” be served with Poutine?
I’m fresh out of Sleepytime Tea with the little pajama-bears
on the box. I could use a treat. But not while I’m driving, and with all my clothes left on!
So the car full of five naked people that was widely reported to have intentionally crashed into another vehicle had a kidnapped man, woman and baby in the trunk? Were they clothed or were they naked, too? What did they do, crash into a police car or was that not trippy enough?
The article (or at least what’s given to us here via excerpt) is murky and muddled. It’s not clear what transpired. Perhaps the author(s) partook of some of that trippy tea.
I think the author is guilty of guzzling trippy tea and writing. What an incomprehensible pile of Canuck mush.
“Closest thing Canada has to a Tea Party, I guess.”
They pretty much outlawed what we’d consider a Tea Party by calling anything conservative as Hate Speech (same as Europe). So, I guess you’re right, this is as close as they come.
I broke down and actually clicked the link. A man, his wife and some teenage girls, his daughter and friends of hers I think, sat down to breakfast and decided to try some tea he’d brought back from India. They were all pretty strait-laced, not druggies, no criminal record. So, breakfast with tea ends up with the five of them on the lam having kidnapped a man, his wife and baby, forcing them into the trunk of a late-model BMW. When the man managed to escape from the trunk and flag down a passing motorist, a man in a work truck, they turned around and rammed the work truck then ended up stuck in a snowy ditch, which is where they were arrested. Sounds as if one of the teen girls was there for a sleepover with her friend, her father learned of her naked escapade via a news report and was totally astonished.
Sipped trippy tea?
Strippy tea?
This is hardly the time of the year when you should be driving around in a car while in the buff.... Then again, is there anytime of the year when that would be sensible?
This is one crazy story and these people were obviously on something a little stronger than tea. ‘Only in Canada you say? NOT What a pity’.
Having raised four angelic teenagers, there is not much that would surprise me, but seeing them (naked?) on the morning news might get my attention. That must have been some sleepover.
Eh Canadians, masters of understatement.

I say we dose the entire Middle East with the stuff and see what happens.
