Canada's health care system is a (truly) sick joke, a media driven fraud. It lacks the capacity to cope with SARS, or anything else for that matter.

SARS is a potential blessing to the Canadians, if it causes them to look behind the carefully crafted curtain, into their sham of a system.

The crooked Liberal Party politicians now have a convenient excuse for the foreseeable future: "Nothing works in Medicare and OHIP because of SARS. That is why the waiting lists are so long." (Note: Medicare = Canadian national health care, OHIP = Ontario health insurance plan)

Sooooo... How come the US has (so far) contained SARS and the American health care system still operates, more or less, despite more exposure to SARS, with vastly more people coming from infected regions of South China?

I suspect luck has alot to do with it. So Canada does have issues with health care but I do believe there but for the grace of g*d go us. imho
