'Thatcher dead' text sparks fears

"A misconstrued text message announcing the passing of a beloved pet has sparked a flurry of diplomatic activity in Canada.

Transport Minister John Baird sent a message reading: "Thatcher has died".

Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper was soon informed that 84-year-old former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher had passed away.

But it was actually Mr Baird's beloved cat, named after his political heroine, who had died."

  1. Wow, I am so glad it's not true. I was genuinely worried about Ms. Thatcher for few second when I read a headline about "the death of Thatcher". Poor cat, though.
