Maybe he’s just coming to the U.S. for health care in order to show how much better they’ve got things in Canada.

Has anybody thought of that yet? The story:

Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams is set to undergo heart surgery this week in the United States.

CBC News confirmed Monday that Williams, 60, left the province earlier in the day and will have surgery later in the week.

The premier’s office provided few details, beyond confirming that he would have heart surgery and saying that it was not necessarily a routine procedure.

See, this just proves that Canada is not – repeat: not – a socialist society. In an actual socialist society, the elite have resources set aside for them and them only. Clearly, therefore, Canada is not a socialist society. Even their political elites have to leave the country to access top-notch health care.

More: Ed Morrissey writes:

If an American governor had to go outside the US to seek the kind of immediate care he needed, that would be considered scandalous.

Just to be clear: the fact that no U.S. governor or other high-ranking official would ever leave the country for a medical procedure does not – repeat: not – prove that the U.S. is a socialist society.

Via Memeorandum.
