Got it. I think a more appropriate response would be “Dafuq?”

Why is any reasonable person in government...any government... even bringing this up? Zombies *as we know them* (eat brains, undead) do not and will not exist...ever. This should never have even come up, and the person who brought it up should be removed from office for being delusional and immature.

Just in case you missed the point:

This was an exchange between a member of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition and a Minister of the Crown during daily Question Period.

Both were poking a bit of fun at theCenters for Disease Control and the Province of Quebec.

Davit Frum was taking the opportunity to have his own bit of fun.

Here it the exchange in Question period as recorded in Hansard (The Parliamentary system's Equivalent of the Congressional Record):

Mr. Pat Martin (Winnipeg Centre, NDP):
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta and the Province of Quebec for putting in place emergency measures to deal with the possibility of an invasion of zombies. I do not need to tell you, Mr. Speaker, that zombies do not recognize borders and that a zombie invasion in the United States could easily turn into a continent-wide pandemic if it is not contained.
On behalf of concerned Canadians everywhere, I want to ask the Minister of Foreign Affairs: Is he working with his American counterparts to develop an international zombie strategy so that a zombie invasion does not turn into a zombie apocalypse?
Hon. John Baird (Minister of Foreign Affairs, CPC):
Mr. Speaker, I want to assure the member and all Canadians that I am “dead-icated” to ensuring that this never happens. I want to say categorically to this member, and through him to all Canadians, that under the leadership of this Prime Minister, Canada will never become a safe haven for zombies, ever.
