Of course it's us

The irony I am seeing, that makes me laugh loudly right now, is how different the US reaction is to their case of Mad Cow, and the fact that on Wednesday my mother and I both predicted that the US cattle industry would blame Canada, as we are the closest country to them that has had a case of Mad Cow. Today I see that the US government has indeed traced the cow back to a cow from Canada, though the details about the cow differ greatly which makes me wonder if this is just using Canada as a scapegoat. On CNN for their coverage there was a couple of back to back emails from Canada, and between the two, you easily see the POV of Canadians. The first was showing sympathy that the US will now go through what we did. The second was pointing out how different the media is taking it now that the case is from the US. How true, both of them.
