Mastoora Qezil pictured here:
The blogosphere has been rife with controversy since last weeks arrest and bail hearing of Mastoora Quezil ,the alleged former employee of Maple Leaf Foods who has been charged with "mischief" over lacing fifteen needles in hotdogs and lunchmate snacks.
People are furious over two issues,the slack would be sentence of less than two years and the concern that this was a politically motivated terrorist action.
Right wing bloggers are right in pointing out that food tampering has been used as a terrorist ploy by many extremist factions for many years and leaving any anti muslim overtones aside, food tampering is a terrorist action.
I have been following the forum debate at The National Post and Globe and Mail and citizens are outraged that Mastoora Quezil if found guilty will only be sentenced to up to two years. If this is her first offense perhaps she will get house arrest ?
Forum followers want to know if the crime was a politically motivated terrorist act and are concerned that this angle hasn't been thoroughly investigated.
I don't want the right vs left debate clouding the fact that Canada has gaping holes in it's laws,leaving us vulnerable to would be criminals.
Any food tampering is a terrorist act and tougher legislation similar to the FDA
should be enacted.
It's time for our politicians to reform this law as fast as they changed the "safety sports helmet" law.
Contact your MP or better yet Steven Harper and tell him he needs to move fast to protect the lives of Canadians.
