Is this a terrorist attack or just a bad case of food poisoning?

It wouldn't be a terrorist attack. Fear of that is just mass media fear-mongering orchestrated by the powers-that-be. Now, mind you, since Afghanistan and Iraq if there are any terrorist attacks they will certainly take place as soon as military action in those countries ceases ...

I guess we have to lie in the beds we make.


The media has been quite vague about what happened (most likely to prevent panic). They are saying it may be a 'flu'.

They have been telling us for years there is a pandemic coming. Maybe someday it will arrive.

Its just the flu. Outbreaks like this aren't all that uncommon, and in an enclosed environment were people are at close quarters for an extended period contagion spreads quite rapidly. So a few days with a bunch of folks on a train........you get the picture.
We saw a weird start to the cold and flu season, normally with a start around January for us, I didn't see alot of people at the office here till late April. Mostly upper resp. and gastric enteritis presenting.

Don't panic, Canadians are made of sterner stuff we've been exposed to worse crap being spewed by our glorious Conservative and Liberal governments over the years.

You rufty-tufty sam-yew-rai you.

To be fair, the avian flu did reach Canada.
