Canadians love Obama, like their health care system even more
An Ekos poll released today shows 73 per cent of Canadians have a favourable view of Obama, with only 11 per cent having a negative view.

On health care, 87 per cent of Canadians say our system is better than that of the U.S.

Thought you should know that!

See the poll results here:

2. I thought the Canadians were too busy dying from inadequate health care to take part in polls
LOL.

3. Good GOP spin that would be!
They could claim that the poll is skewed because the only ones who can respond to pollsters are the few Canadians still healthy enough to answer a phone call.

11. I missed that poll. I was busy attending my grandma's death panel.
Good news, I'll be getting her dining room furniture next week!

10. And only 7% say the US health care system is better than Canada's
Thanks. I am bookmarking this to refute the crazies who babble on about how "bad" Canada's system is.
