Sarah Palin talks Canadian Healthcare, tants the drive by media

Skagway and Whitehorse are more connected (even being in different countries) than Skagway and Juneau. The Canadians knew this (and that's who Palin was talking to...) but it was just some stupid Americans who didn't know this... LOL ...

Skagway to Whitehorse is a "natural" and goes without saying...

History of the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad

Built in 1898 during the Klondike Gold Rush, this narrow gauge railroad is an International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark, a designation shared with the Panama Canal, the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty.
The WP&YR railway was considered an impossible task but it was literally blasted through coastal mountains in only 26 months.
The $10 million project was the product of British financing, American engineering and Canadian contracting. Tens of thousands of men and 450 tons of explosives overcame harsh and challenging climate and geography to create "the railway built of gold."
The WP&YR climbs almost 3000 feet in just 20 miles and features steep grades of up to 3.9%, cliff-hanging turns of 16 degrees, two tunnels and numerous bridges and trestles. The steel cantilever bridge was the tallest of its kind in the world when it was constructed in 1901.
The 110 mile WP&YR Railroad was completed with the driving of the golden spike on July 29, 1900 in Carcross Yukon connecting the deep water port of Skagway Alaska to Whitehorse Yukon and beyond to northwest Canada and interior Alaska.
White Pass & Yukon Route became a fully integrated transportation company operating docks, trains, stage coaches, sleighs, buses, paddlewheelers, trucks, ships, airplanes, hotels and pipelines. It provided the essential infrastructure servicing the freight and passenger requirements of Yukon's population and mining industry. WP&YR proved to be a successful transportation innovator and pioneered the inter-modal (ship-train-truck) movement of containers.
The WP&YR suspended operations in 1982 when Yukon's mining industry collapsed due to low mineral prices. The railway was reopened in 1988 as a seasonal tourism operation and served 37,000 passengers. Today, the WP&YR is Alaska's most popular shore excursion carrying over 450,000 passengers during the May to September tourism season operating on the first 67.5 miles (Skagway, Alaska to Carcross, Yukon) of the original 110 mile line.

The Canada Health Act was passed because ever more doctors were opting out of medicare. This act made it illegal to buy or sell doctors’ services in Canada if you are a resident of Canada. This will happen in the US also but immediately. Doctors must be enslaved for this to work!

Thanks for posting this

I sure blew that one, eh?

I knew I had never paid a doctors bill, so glanced at Wiki, and posted.

In my life, whether Ontario had a choice in the matter or not, health care has always been run by the government.
