It is, but there have been reported outbreaks in some parts of Canada.

The only one I had heard off was that coachload of kids coming back from the Far East, but that was contained.
Haha my mum works in a hospital and she says that dumb people come in with a slight touch of hayfever insisting they have SARS

The SARS outbreak in canada was so exaggerated. 300 suspected cases in the toronto area, which has a greater population of around 5 million.
i'll take you through the math:
(300 / 5000000) * 100 = 0.006
to those of you not mathmatically inclined, this means that all news stations are gay, and will mislead you from the truth.

I agree, the man definately knows his maths.

lots of ppl said it was Canada but it was only toronto where tons of ppl live and comute 2 work n only 20 ppl give or take a few died u dont hear that
kind of shit w/the west nile thang last yr did u no so the ppl on the world health thing are sooo stupid cause Toronto is a great place

More people die from gunshots in Washington DC per year than will die of SARS in Toronto, yet the WHO doesn't tell us not to go to Washington.

The WHO could give a rats ass about guns. Heard the funniest thing the other day about Rogers Cable. One of the factors that lead them to leave the
United States was that a handgun was standard issue to their service technicians. Man I thought, I Canuck's got pissed off when their cable went
out.
Back to SARS, Toronto has been officially taken of the WHO's list of places to that have SARS. Party On!! Took them long enough to realize we
didn't have it.

The only thing you Americans have to worry about is people misspelling words like "nothing" and "worry"
