If you really want to strike fear into the hearts of trick or treaters this Halloween, go down to your local costume store and buy your very own Bob Rae outfit! When the little rascals ring your doorbell, you can open the door and scream "YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE OF THE FLU AND IT IS THE GOVERNMENT'S FAULT!" or perhaps something even more scary like "I HAVE BEEN PROMISED MINISTER OF FINANCE!" or even scarier "LET ME DO YOUR TAXES", or if you really want to give them nightmares "I WANT TO BE YOUR PRIME MINISTER!"
This is of course in reference to Bob Rae going on the Soloman Show and telling Canadians that they are going to die of the flu and it is the government's fault that Glaxo couldn't make enough vaccine for a bug that is less lethal than the normal flu. I understand how it benefits the opposition to create a mass hysteria, but it hardly benefits the country. The hysteria over SARS did far more harm than the virus itself, and SARS was far more lethal than pig flu. We should be promoting calm, not doing what Bob Rae is doing trying to frighten people.
Why are we shocked when the media and political parties with an agenda play games?
ReplyDeleteThis post hits the nail on the head...
ReplyDeleteI hope someone snaps a pic of BOOBY in his costume tonight because rumour has it that he is trick or treating as a "HORSES A$$".....
ReplyDeleteSeriously, Boob Rae really is creepy, just like his roommate Iffy. I'd be afraid to leave either one of them alone with kids.
ReplyDeleteI should give some props to Don Martin for calling out Bob Rae on the "Power Panel" for going over the top with the flu scare tactics.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad that the two kids died, but how many kids have died from the normal flu this past decade that never made the front page of my newspaper? A lot. This virus in its current form is less lethal than the normal flu.
