I seem to recall one year ago right before Halloween, Bob Rae appeared on the Soloman Show and proclaimed that every man, woman, and child in Canada must be provided with a pig flu vaccination or many would die. "Spooky Bobby" was trying to stir up some mass hysteria ahead of the annual day of fright. Stephen Harper would then have blood of innocent Canadian children on his hands, except that the crisis never happened and was completely blown out of proportion. Swine flu is less lethal than the normal flu. I haven't caught the flu in 10 years, and over that span I have had zero flu shots. You don't hear the Liberals doing the same fear mongering one year later; kind of makes you wonder whatever happened to this crisis?
On Halloween I am going to run the poll question: "which opposition member would you put on your front lawn if you really wanted to scare trick or treaters on Halloween?" Last year I asked:
WHAT IS THE SCARIEST COMBINATION OF WORDS THAT YOU COULD EVER HEAR ORIGINATE FROM THE MOUTH OF BOB RAE?
“As your newly elected Prime Minister…” (70%)
“I accept the honour of Finance Minister…” (11%)
“Your daughter and I are…” (6%)
“You will die from the flu…” (6%)
"I have been managing your retirement portfolio, and…” (5%)
In a rational world Iceman the media would hold "Broke Bob" to explaining his scare-mongering. But hey he's a Liberal, shush.
ReplyDeleteYou don't hear about the pig flu anymore because WHO milked as much money out of it as they could and they're busy working on a new fictitious pandemic scare to see how much more they can scam.
