1. the Globe & Mail, which routinely makes up anti-American news as it goes along.
2. No American in their right mind would go to the People'sRepublic of Canuckistan, aka, Canada, for your third world quality medical treatment
3. every American has access to emergency medical treatment at any hospital's emergency room, regardless if they have insurance or not
===
Forget this pedantic name calling i.e. Canuckistan v Hickville v et al. Besides, I wonder WHO is best "maker-uper" of Faux Nooj as we all get sucked into it , along!
The operative questions are as follows:
1. For what health care reason do Americans go to Canada?
2. Are "prescription drugs" what they are traveling for?
3. Where are these drugs actually manufactured?
4. Is the very SAME drug, manufactured at the very SAME plant in Europe sold at vastly differential prices in the US and Canada?
5. On what factual basis is Canadian medical treatment being called "third world quality" ?
6. Access to "energency medical treatment" is fine, What number of individuals do NOT have access to Health Care in general?
7. What percentage of children are unimmunised?
8. Does a client need to become an "emergency" before he/she has access to health care, or would that individual have been better served by affordable preventive care?
I await to hear from the learned folks

PS: On a personal note, Mervyn....I suppose it is your turn now to carry the cross. Must say that thus far, you are doing it with panache.
Keep up the good work.
