Definitely in a large city in a Latin-speaking European country.

I can't recall ever being invited up to Montreal by tourism Quebec through Eye or Now, the local TO weeklies (although I haven't seen last week's editions).

The NY Times I got after 9/11 was bursting at the seams from tourism board ads around the US expressing their deepest condolences.

In between these ads, of course, was the likes of GM asking to keep America strong by buying a car.

Which reminds me, I see a tonne of ads for Northern Ontario (or at least did) and none, pre SARS, for TO.

and none, pre SARS, for TO.

We have tons of ads in BC for TO. Come, come, come -- One was a radio ac actually kind of funny.

Question: I'm worried about going to Toronto because of SARS.

Answer: Well you should only be worried if you plan to get off the plane, go to an infected hospital and give a SARS patient a full body rub.

HE HE

I think its been highly over-rated, much like mad cow disease. We've also being told to support the beef industry every hour it seems.

ANY PLACE? Although I love Canada, if I ingest too much American Government news errrrrr make that proopoganda - I wish I were on a deserted island.
