This Year’s Most Appropriate Costume
The biggest news story of 2009 didn’t leave the mind of Global TV’s Lorraine Nickel when she dawned this popular H1N1 costume on Halloween.
Someone should have dressed up as the vaccine and gone along with her. Unfortunately, we hear those costumes are on back order from the federal government.

As a reporter, Lorraine should know that H1N1 didn’t originate in pigs. Therefore, the noses are completely irrelevant.

Let’s examine the Liberal initiative and response, to the handling of the swine flu pandemic. First we have Carolyn Bennet, health critic for the Liberal party, using taxpayer money, to send pamphlets across Canada with the ominous message of body bags, which caused Grand Chief Ron Evans, to demand an apology from the Liberals, and to strongly condemn, and to lash out at Carolyn Bennet, who he said exploited aboriginal children for political gain, and that “our children were used as props in political theatre” . Then we have the same Carolyn Bennet behaving hysterically in question period, during discussion of the H1N1 crisis which must have caused great anxiety and tension, for some Canadians. The next day Carolyn Bennet, to give moral support, appears with Hedy Fry before the reporters, where Ms. Fry demands that she and her fellow MP’s be made a priority to receive the H1N1 vaccine. There is nothing that the Liberals have said or done, to reassure Canadians that this crisis will pass and that good people in all levels of government (federal, provincial and municipal) and in the private sector, are doing their best, and are being very professional in their efforts – this is not the time or place for cheap political histrionics – when Canadians have a genuine concern on an important health issue.
On Friday, on the CTV program Power Play, Liberal Warren Kinsella, of Adscam and doorknob fame , who is now relegated in Ignatieff’s office, to be in charge of tricks, stunts and theatrics, wondered what the government would tell the single mother, who stood in line with her child for 6 hours . If the mother, is not near as dense as KInsella, I am sure the mother will understand, when it is explained to her, the problems and complexities of this H1N1 immunization program, which is by far the largest mass vaccination program in Canada’ history. What I would ask Kinsella is, what would the Liberal response be to this young mother – would it be to have Carolyn Bennet Liberal health critic, give the mother one of her pamphlets with body bags, as she has done on an earlier occasion to people whom she knows have concerns.

This was done out of pure fun. I hope no one was offended. My friends got a kick out of it. By the way, where did you get this picture?

RELAX PEOPLE!!! I’ts a costume! I had Darth Vader come to my door Saturday night and I didn’t go run for my lightsaber, nor did I think that the little vampire trick or treater was actually coming for my blood. When did we all lose our sense of humour??!!!
Oh, and Peter, sorry you lost me in the first sentence.
