Ritz is a fool and should be fired, but the discussion should be whether Canada wants to go down this road that Harper wants to take. A fellow by the name of Mike Harris tried the same thing Harper is doing, and it led to Walkerton. We are now at more deaths with Listeriosis then Walkerton, yet the media seem to have ignored it, and only are discussing it now because of a silly Cabinet Minister exposed to be a buffoon. So, they aren't even asking the government about the real issue that the public should be worried about, and as RossK said, people in the media should be focusing on, which is the policy of the Conservatives that prompted all this mess - the decision to try to get government regulators out of the food inspection basis and turning it back over to the food industry to police themselves.
