CTV coverage of Conservative Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz making "stupid and insensitive remarks" about the listeriosis epidemic. Roger Smith and Bob Fife talking to Mike Duffy. Note the exchange between Duffy and Fife around 3:00.
Fire Ritz! Come on, Harper! Grow a backbone! Let's see some accountability here!! Do yourself a favour and distance yourself from this wannabe comic.
The Conservatives are putting the food supply at risk by decreasing government regulation. Harper believes the responsibility is in the hands of private companies. Nothing has been done in terms of government action to ensure this or something like it doesn't happen again. Yet Ritz has time to make jokes about these deaths that could have been you, me, a friend or family member who eat meat!!
Wow. Buffoon Ritz and others like him got re-elected. Just Wow.

Ritz is ignorant, arrogant, and takes the time to laugh about the lysteria outbreak that killed over a dozen people. Harper should fire him...

Such an insensitive bastard. Harper should give Gerry the boot, and then Jack Layton should be the next Prime Mininster.

I'd expect better from this guy, himself a farmer from Saskatchewan.
