Wait just a minute there.
Isn't it the case that we Americans are lectured by our "more enlightened" countrymen and by the moral superiors who reside in the Great White North (and please understand that I understand that not all Canadians think that they are our moral superiors) that the Canadian Health Care system is the system we should have here in the USA?
Yes. Which is why you owe it to yourselves to remind every liberal you meet that even our Supreme Court has gone on the record saying our much-vaunted system is a failure and that the government's blind adherence to ideology is killing people.
More to that point: I just paid a visit to DUmmieland and there is absolutely NO mention of the decision. Not in Breaking News, not in their Canada forum, not in their Health Care forum. The American Left is yet again in denial and yet again being woefully ignorant of the Canadian mindset. They are trying to pretend that there is no huge dissatisfaction with our health care system and they are in denial of the fact that we are now realizing that the problem has little to do with money and a lot to do with principle. For my part, here in Canada I will continue to point out to my contrymen that in spite of the similarities between our Liberals and your Democrats the fact remains that Canada's best friends in the Oval Office have all been Republicans and that Canada's worst enemies in the White House and Congress have all been Democrats. And every time a fellow Canadian boasts (rightly IMO) about our role in the abolition of slavery in your country I will point out that it was a Republican president who finally got rid of it and that it was the Democrats who supported it and who were enacting Jim Crow legislation and encouraging the lynchings. I will also point out to any Canadian or American I meet that our role in the Abolitionist struggle had nothing to do with Yank-bashing and everything to do with the fact that the Underground Railroad was inspired by the old-fashioned Canadian value of our hatred for bullies. I will further point out that our efforts played a part in the painful process in America of discovering, examining and ultimately correcting a fatal flaw in their Constitution and over the ensuing century and a half our American friends have handsomely repaid us for the favour. And finally I will tell everyone whom I meet that we are doing the world an enormous favour by serving as an example of how two ornery, cranky, boorish, obnoxious neighbours can share an unguarded border without once sending our soldiers across it to kill people and break things.
