They say they have it under control. The World Health Organization wants to continue to keep a lid on it and issued a travel advisory to Toronto. How arrogant of Canadian officials to think they have the right to protest that advisory. It is even more arrogant to think they can contain something so elusive as a virus. In the end, I think Canadians have far more to fear with the West Nile virus, the economic impact of trying to control that virus will be much much greater and the number of lives lost to West Nile higher. I agree, the average Canadian is not impressed with our governments response to WHO's advisory. We doth "protest too much".

I'm not sure which is more dangerous - to have a commentary kind of weblog or a personal journal blog. The first is, of course, more obviously a potential conflict of interest. The second could be considered simply unprofessional! Eek! The “kill your blog” story hit close to home.
