We had one here in Kelowna today, not completely confirmed but more than probable. When will Steven Harpers Conservative government be held accountable for anything?

The only outbreak Harper gives a damn about is obtaining a majority dictatorship.

"Pay no attention to that leaked document about our reduced meat inspections. No answers here. Move on."

Canadians are just BSE cattle in our power plume.

Yes, don't blame the many, many supposed 'cleaners' who refused to deep sterilize the slicing machines (some because of their aversion to meat products due to their religion..), or the plant foremen who neglected to enforce the rigid cleaning regime , or the plant inspectors, or the regional inspectors in charge of them....

It's all Harper's fault, right?

Its his government that out in place regulations that has caused government health inspectors to be studying more paperwork then they are meat.. and worse, he WANTS more self-policing industry inspection, not less.

It has Walkerton written all over it.

Well, we know what happens with this govt.'s "internal investigations". Nada. They take ZERO responsibilty for anything negative. Let's hope they do not have the chance to investigate this nightmare. And that it's the Libs who do the investigating - immediately after being elected!

Ya,,

Maple Leaf Foods, a hundred year old company with a great brand name was just waiting for the opportunity to allow deadly bacteria to form deep inside slicing machines just so that they could poison and kill people.

Sounds like a great business plan.

What's next for this blog,

-UFOs landing in Ottawa.
-Sasquatch in BC want to vote.
-Elvis lives and votes in Canada.

Weird.
