You were saying ...

In keeping with the post though, it is amazing to me that Canadians don't see the irony and hypocrisy of the PM coming to America for health care.

I'm not really sure about that, considering that a lot of goods in our own stores, come from China, and cars that come from Japan or Korea or somewhere in Europe, and then a lot of oil from the Muslim countries (to say nothing about some of that oil coming from the great country of Venezuela... LOL...), and you can go right down the list of things we've all got in our houses and that we wear and that we consume from all other places than right here in this country.

It would seem that the consumers in the U.S. do a lot of "supporting" of many other countries in the world...

Oh I agree about the irony of us supporting economies like China, etc. Some stuff you just can't make up ;-) Especially when we need jobs in our own country. But that is paying the piper - we want cheap goods and don't and haven't seen the big picture of what wanting/demanding cheap goods does to your own economy (attention Walmart shoppers!).

But healthcare is so much more of a personal choice and our government doesn't yet make it illegal for us to seek medical attention outside of our own country.
