Toranto unsafe because of all the French wannabe's

[dinok]

OK...if the SARS wont get you in Toronto, the stupid French attitude will.

Let's face it...does anyone want their child marrying anyone who voted for Crettien?

>>Wednesday, government officials in Canada's largest city angrily dismissed the travel advisory as an overreaction.

Let me see some of those "govt officials" french-kissing a few SARS patients first, then I'll decide if I think it is safe to travel to Toronto...

[Mr.Atos]

Canadian officials have lashed out at the World Health Organization

WHO: Identify possible SARS victims!

CANADA: Oh no we couldn't do that. It would be discriminatory.

WHO: Quarantine contaminated patients.

CANADA: Oh no, that would be oppressive.

WHO: Require preventative measures in your Hospitals.

CANADA: That would cost too much money.

WHO: Publish public advisories.

CANADA: No! That might endanger tourism and commerce.

WHO: SARS seems to be more aggressive in Toronto than any other place in North America and Canada doesn't seemt to be doing anything about that.

CANADA: HEY! NOW THAT'S UNCALLED FOR!

"Canadian officials have lashed out at the World Health Organization for including Toronto among the places travelers should avoid because of the spread of the pnuemonia-like viral illness from Asia, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. "

No doubt that it was this kind of reaction that stopped WHO from issuing travel advisories back when it was just 150 cases in Asia.

Because they failed to act then, almost 4300 now have it. Toronto officials should be thanking WHO for finally trying to stop the spread instead of downplaying the illness and waiting until 100,000 people in toronto have it and no one wants to go to Toronto even for necessary business and the whole city grinds to a halt.

I wouldn't go to Canada anyway.

Memo to all you Canadians here in South Florida: Please go home.

Toronto is very proud of its diversity.
