My canadian friend has this to say .Hello Hans: I think that this report is nothing more than lying propaganda conjured - up by the opposition parties or their political cronies in order to in anyway they can, discredit the Conservative Harper Government here. The H1N1 Swine flu bug is not a current problem in Canada and the medical authorities here feel that any outbreaks will not be any more serious in mortality levels than our annual flu rate mortality any given year. In fact the more elderly you are the more you are likely to carry a low level immunity to it, given that people here many years ago were exposed to the same virus and carry some low level antibody levels, which literally surge on re-exposure. The "body bag" stuff I just consider straight crap. It just wouldn't happen!
