Sarah Palin tossed out as fundraiser for Canadian hospitals after backlash

[Cass]

HAMILTON, Ont. - Sarah Palin has been given the boot as a celebrity fundraiser for hospitals in Hamilton, Ont., but she will come to town raise money for a local children’s charity instead.

Palin has brought the American health care debate to Canada and it is causing a storm of controversy as concerned hospital supporters have protested her appearance to raise money for two local institutions in April.

The former vice-presidential candidate was supposed to speak at a fund-raising event for the Juravinski Cancer Centre and St. Peter’s Hospital in Hamilton. But a backlash of negative publicity cancelled those plans.

Palin is an out-spoken conservative critic of new public health care plans in the U.S. and is scornful of Canada’s universal health care system.

1. I thought Canada would not let undesirables in their country?

Seriously, why let the nasty thing into their country?

[Bozita]

14. Canada Customs hassled the hell out of ... get this ... AMY GOODMAN two weeks ago.

They were fearful of her speaking out on the upcoming Olympics.

2. Whoever invited her

Must of been drinking something.....stupidity lives up here too.

I am glad they came to their senses.

4. Conservative stupidity isn't restricted to south of the border.

3. Well.. well.. it seems that Sarah Palin is..

..about as welcome as a fart in an elevator.. At least as far as some Canadians are concerned.


You gotta love it. :)

5. Please keep her in Canuckistan.

Srsly.

[polly7]

6. uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh. NO.

:)

Seriously, no thank you. She should shut her pie-hole about our system, she's not smart enough to know anything about it beyond what she's been fed to blabber.

[CTyankee]

8. I agree. She has colossal nerve to go up there and criticize your health care system.

Stamp her passport "persona non grata."

[Ikonoklast]

12. Sorry, she's already there, and no takesy-backsies.

Your problem now, so there.

[polly7]

13. Crap.

I hate NAFTA.

Who'd you get??? Gretzky!!!

7. Yeah, I guess she didn't endear herself to Canadians after what she said on This Hour Has 22 Mins.

11. Yeah that went over like a lead balloon.

She is a piece of work. I can't believe anyone would invite her to raise funds for a Candian hospital.

[PDJane]

9. She was invited by someone dumb enough

to fall for the celebrity shit, she stayed on the roster for that long because some of us have a vile sense of humour.

We DON'T want her as a permanent fixture. We will, however, take Fla's Grayson or Senator Franken if you don't want them.

10. Candian hospitals asked an anti-nonprofit healthcare advocate to help them raise funds?

That's the dumbest thing I've heard since Michelle Bachman's comparing the healthcare debate to the Charge of the light brigade--and I heard that two days ago!

:rofl:
