U.S. reporters get flu shots in Canada

[CHIMO]

OTTAWA (CP) - It wasn't just news that American reporters were clamouring for during George W. Bush's visit to Canada on Tuesday.

Some White House scribes visited a downtown medical clinic to get a quick $20 flu shot. Flu vaccine is plentiful in Canada despite a severe shortage south of the border. The main vaccine, Canadian firm ID Biomedical's Fluviral, is not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in the United States.

While reporters were getting shots, at least one protester was hoping Bush would follow suit.

The demonstrator on Parliament Hill carried a sign reading, Bush: Get Your Flu Shot And Get Out.

2. If they are...

Is it because they hope to thin the herd?

5. Yes...

... I have always held that GOP policies encourage death of US citizens. Why? Because it is "better" for Social Security if someone dies before ever making a claim.

4. While they are getting their flu shots

Karl and Scottie are writing their "news" stories for them and will hand them over to the "reporters" on the way home. Everybody wins, EXCEPT US!! We lose!

If it weren't for the internets, and Canadian and world news organizations, we would be in the "dark ages"!
