They speak out against the way the listeria crisis was grossly mishandled -- and they warn that listeria is just the beginning. They state: "And listeriosis may be the least of it. The same November 2007 Cabinet decision that handed self-inspection to the owners of meat plants did the same for operators of animal feed mills and cut back the avian influenza preparedness program. Yet bad animal feed led to the epidemic of bovinespongiform encephalitis (mad cow disease), and in an influenza pandemic tens of thousands of Canadians may die. Listeriosis pales in comparison. Overall, it would seem that, as a country, Canada is far less prepared now for epidemics than in the past." - Editorial, Canadian Medical Association Journal, Oct 7, 2008 issue<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('16706','Ann D'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('16706','Ann D','The Canadian Medical Association has very damning things to say as well, in the October 8, 2008, edition of the Canadian Medical Association journal.

It was certainly one of the many issues that defeated his party the next time they went to the polls (after Harris had handed over his sinking ship to the hapless Ernie Eves). These guys ain’t really made of Teflon, it just takes a while (too long!) to stick when the media is busy covering the “Seinfeld” election issues.
