And there's no sign of snow anywhere down here where most of us live, which is more than I can say about the Swine Flu...
Help! I've come down with Swine Flu Overkill in today's Globe and Mail is Margaret Wente's response to all this madness that's going on over it.
We're into our second outbreak of it now, and a lot of us, including me, have had it already and still the government continues to fumble the ball and waste time, and taxpayers' dollars on publicity about it, instead of acting responsibly when they had the chance last spring or summer. The population of Canada at the last census was something like 33 million, yet they ordered 50 million doses of vaccine, and
latest polls indicate that over half of us aren't planning on getting a shot - likely because we've already survived the disease - so if this is correct, then we're going to be stuck with half or more of those doses untaken and wasted.
In my latest blurb to 'Dear Editor' at The Globe, I ended by asking, rhetorically of course, "Can anyone in Ottawa count to more than twenty without taking off their pants?". Personally I doubt it very much.
