The scare has hurt tourism in Toronto, with hotel workers saying its impact has been worse than that of the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.


Canada's biggest city has seen canceled conventions, a drop in public transit use and dwindling sales in its Chinatowns. Several countries, including Australia and Ireland, have told their citizens not to visit Toronto.



When it really starts to hit their economy and their pockets, watch how fast they demand that something be done to stop its spread. Ontario, Canada will wake up then.

When it spreads in the U.S., and I believe it certainly will, I hope no-one out there has money in the stock market. It will make 9-11 look like a minor correction of a "few points".
