Canadian attacked by shark in Cancun
A tourist from Canada was attacked by a shark in Cancun and required surgery. Reports state she is recovering and that attacks are quite rare. There was some information that the attacking shark may have been pregnant.

Funny that it is always Canadians getting shot, raped and now bitten by sharks. Maybe they should sew little U.S. flags on their clothing.

I thought this was a reference to the timeshare hawkers at the airport.

I think they must be more vulnerable to that, too - poor souls.
