"There's not a lot of evidence of direct disease transmission between our urban rats and the population," Losito said.

This guy is the regional director of health protection and he makes a statment like that....he obviously doesnt recall the black plague in the middle ages spread by rats, or the Hanta virus spread by rats....of course vancouver is over-populated and could use some thinning out before the olympics

I don't know about Vancouver, but the ones in Victoria keep giving themselves more money.

[stokes]

Yeah but they all represent Vancouver.....coincidence?...I think not!

But where do I get the $105000 raise? I work for the government

I think the plague was spread by fleas that hitchhiked on rats, so wash your rats at least once a week and there is no problem.
