"We were just in the park sitting down and I was breastfeeding Kalli and a
park employee, Meahgn, came over and said to me I have to cover up or I will
be escorted out of Universal Studios," Cruz told Eyewitness News.

Suddenly, her conversation with one employee turned into a confrontation
with security guards.

"I said, 'You know what, go ahead, call security and for that matter, call
your lawyers as well, because these are human rights issues,'" Cruz said.

"Cheryl Cruz was really caught off guard in the situation. She is from St.
John's, Newfoundland, Canada. She said, unlike in America, public breast
feeding there is a common sight.

Partial quote:

A Canadian breast-feeding expert said she believes what happened to Cruz
wouldn't have happened in Canada.

"I think we are a little more relaxed," Lorraine Burrage, co-chairwoman of
NL Breastfeeding Coalition, said. "We are changing. It's just that we don't
have a lot of role models of breast-feeding in our society."



[Janice here again - Just to be clear, these incidents DO happen in Canada,
although perhaps less frequently.  Recently an Ontario mom was asked to
cover or move in from beside a pool at a YMCA, and she has filed a Human
Rights Complaint, which is slowly proceeding.]
