viktor_haagLet's see: how about making fun of untimely death during an election run-up?
To be fair to Ritz -- this is exactly the kind if ill-timed crap that comes out of people's mouths or fingers (mine included) especially during those "you gotta laugh so you don't cry" moments. But it's entirely possible that Maple Leaf Foods could cost Harper his political career: how eager will the Conservatives be to keep Harper around if he's on the tiller for a series of minority wins? My take is that to really be measured as a success, Harper needs to bag a majority government for his party.
Ritz is a symptom of the wonderful effect that unexpected crisis can have on politics.
