Do you work in the food industry? If not, you don't have a clue. If so, you should know about the audits that happen by the Yanks/Province/Feds. And a video with Keith Obermann? Should have known that retards attract each other.

What if I do work for the food industry?

Keith Obermann? That's Michael McCain from Maple Leaf foods. But I guess neo-cons can't read.

Over regulation only benefit the large corporation because they can aford to absorve the cost. While smaller compediters go bankruped.

So what your realy saying is that you want large corperation to get bigger?

So that means your pro corperation.

@simontimon2 You're a fucking idiot. REGULATION COULD HAVE PROTECTED THESE PEOPLE. THAT WAS THE POINT OF THIS VIDEO.

Conservatism is a fraud.

So the regulation wasn't able to prevent the listeria out break. So what's the point in keeping the regulation?

Stephen Harper unconditionally supports Neo-Con George Bush and his destructive Republican policies.

Vote ABC - Anything But Conservative.

Vote NDP, Green Party or Liberal.

ohmy I can see the conservatives have found this video & are now posting comments - damage control I believe its called - well you're too damned late. I wonder if we ask the relatives of the voters who died from the current gov'ts cutback in meat inspection if they agree that this happens all the time...

We can only be duped for so long.

If you dare, just look deep into Harper's eyes - see anything?

Pretty empty...

Do your research...more people died from listeriosis last year in Ontario than have died from this current situation. Did we find out how those cases happened...no. For Maple leafs 100 year history, to have basically this one small event is pretty darn good. Bacteria is everywhere and people get sick from food all the time. And no, it's not the conservative governments' fault, it's no governments fault.

i just had listeria posioning... had all the symptoms ... first i had a headache... then vomiting, on the toilet... 2nd day... same thing but couldn't stand up... 3rd day i was dry heaving not wanting to eat... because i'll just vomit it out... 4rd stayed in bed feeling real weak with a huge headache... 5th felt better ... went to work... and today i feel great... it washed me out.

How is this being blown out of proportion? People have died and become sick, leading to a recall of meats. There is a legitimate concern here.

If you're talking about the link to conservative government, I can't say much yet, as I haven't verified the facts from this video.
