Found through Liberty and Medicine which links to an article by Peter Howell at TheStar.com. It appears that Mr. Moore exaggerated a bit with regard to the quality of Canada’s social healthcare.

We Canucks were taking issue with the large liberties Sicko takes with the facts, with its lavish praise for Canada’s government-funded medicare system compared with America’s for-profit alternative.

Is this at all a surprise to anyone? Moore goes to great lengths to stretch and mold the truth without outright lying so he can push his agenda. I’m glad we’re hearing this but its sure to be drowned out by those supporting Moore… many who use the same tactics. Ignore evidence which conflict with your views and when in doubt yell louder and insult your critics.

We have issues in this country with our health care… but guys like Michael Moore and Dean Baker have more complaints then potential solutions.
