Obviously lots jave read the original article by now but I’m providing the link to the Washington Post article.

Seems as if it was a closer commute in time of emergency to get her brother medical attention in Canada but more disturbing, is that she seems to have told a completely different version in 2007 whereby her brother is taken to Juneau for care. (That story is linked to in the Post piece). Not a good time to divert attention from Obama’s push.
They may have taken her brother to Whitehorse for the emergency and then to Juneau for checkups.
Palin spoke before a paying audience of 1,200 in Calgary, with tickets costing between $150 and $200, the Medicine Hat News of Medicine Hat, Alberta, reported.

Palin has also told an alternate version of the story that had her family traveling south by ferry to Juneau from Skagway for treatment of her brother's burned foot, rather than to Canada, according to a 2007 report posted by the Skagway News.
