The cows don't go mad, darn it

There's just something ... odd? ironic? unfortunate? ... about the fact that the day after the minimal risk rule is announced (it is scheduled to be in the Federal Register tomorrow), Canada announces a suspect BSE case, now confirmed.

Or is it just me?

I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any means (and those of you who know where precisely I work will understand why I am even more reluctant than usual to suspect conspiracy). I also don't mean to cast aspersions on the CFIA. But still ... it's odd. Or unfortunate. Or something.
