1) Mad Cow Disease – Niki assures me the mad cow came originally from Texas. There were almost certainly mad cows in the US, but its a little easier to blame them on Canada, as France did with the UK. My suspicion is that most countries probably have a couple lurking, its just some get caught.

2) The New York power blackouts the other year. Didn’t they try and blame Canada for that one?

3) 9/11 – Wasn’t there a claim that they came via Canada?

I could be proven wrong on any of the above, so I’m just throwing them out for discussion.

My thoughts are that this is a negative GSK campaign. Don’t buy from our nearby competitor (Canada).
