I would!! I would!! ... oh wait ~I already live here (there)
Seriously, with respect to the mad cow thing - it was ONE cow that was found to be a carrier (and that was LAST January according to the news). True me when I say that it is being taken extremely seriously ~ hundreds, if not thousands, of cattle from Alberta (province where that ONE cow was from), as well as BC & possibly other provinces, are being trucked as I type this to slaughterhouses so that they can be tested ... it is a HUGE deal here, and will definitely have negative consequences for our economy
That SARS thing ... yes, admittedly it was scary, but look at the facts, out of the 24 + people who succumbed to SARS, only one was younger that 60, and was otherwise fairly healthy. EVERYONE else had pre-existing medical problems and somewhat comprimised immune systems. Out of 30 million plus people, it is not that big of a deal ~ more media hype (& tripe) that anything else.
Just my thoughts after watching much media coverage from BOTH sides of the border ... remember, at least 75% of Canada's population lives within 150 miles of US border.
Sorry if I sound frustrated ... it's just sooo incredibly frustrating to be inundated with this stuff night & day ... it just never seems to end ...
