Filmmaker Michael Moore says he had to rush a copy of his new film Sicko into Canada just before travelling to the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year because he feared U.S. federal investigators would seize it.
"I had to literally get a master of my film brought to Canada here so it could be safely placed in a country that would not violate my civil liberties," Moore said in an interview with CBC Radio.
"My job is to show that Canadians — not so much have the best health care system in the world, which it isn't — but rather that Canadians have a core value belief that says, we're all Canadians, we're all in the same boat, we sink or swim together and we have to take care of each other," he said.

But when people with money like former PMs Mulroney and Cretien or industrialist K. C. Irving get sick they go to the states for treatment.
what happened to the separatist movement in Quebec?
Again, Lumpy Riefenstahl shows his over-inflated sense of self-purpose by thinking the gubmint would seize his little pack of lies and distortion.
He’s a woos.
If he's in the boat, it'll definitely sink.
Thousands, from what I've read.
I'd like to know how many Cannucks die every year waiting on medical care? Bet that's a stat that you're not likely to see on the 6:00 news in the great white north.....
Une bateaux? Je me souviens Micheal?
If mr moore is so worried about having his rights violated—then he should move to Canada where he can be assured his rights will not be violated. Of course when it is determined that his OBESITY is self-induced then he will be pushed to the back of the health care priority list and he can have Canada to bash thus giving him an excuse to come back to the USA. All that traveling should burn up some calories and possible calm your FAT mouth mikey!!!!
According to the Toronto Globe and Mail, a Cardiac patient has a ten times greater chance dying waiting than on the operation table.
If Moore really believes the crap he sells, shouldn’t he have simply moved to another country by now? If his civil liberties were really at a threat- wouldn’t it make sense to launch his campaign from elsewhere in the world?
Why doesn’t this mega sized donut puncher just renounce the US and do his deeds from another place?
Answer- he doesn’t believe in his words, so much as the money he makes from it. He’s capitalizing, not actually having a legitimate complaint.
Publicity stunt. That sad thing is that it works on the sheeple.
That they do, and at the same time taxing ordinary canadians at a rate no one would believe: high income taxes, plus the GST and provincial sales tax (14% total) on every dollar spent. With the extra added bonus for the government: people are forced to remain in canada after retirement and continue to pay taxes to canada because they have no portable health care. It should happen to Michael Moore, it really should, and he should choke on it.
You nailed it. I wonder if all the Democrats pushing a Government take over of the health care industry will troop in to view the film like they did for Fraudenhit 911.
Ooooh, but there is a "chill wind" blowing. All the leftists are being silenced; their free speech crushed under the Neo-Cons jack-booted heels!!!!
Ah, man, I can't do it, not even as a joke. All I hear is loud mouthed, narcissistic, jack-a$$ed lefties spouting off. We can't get them to shut up, and all they do is say they are being silenced. They could carve their message in the moon, for the whole world to see, and then complain about the right trying to silence them when the sun came up.
Better yet, Why doesnt the US just denounce Mikey. Refuse to allow the fat peckerhead to re-enter.
Michael Moore, Master of the Straw Man.
Conspiracy theorists actually believe what they say. On the other hand, Moore knows he’s a liar. He was a liar when he made Roger and me, he was a liar when he made Bowling for Columbine, he was a liar when he made F-911, and he’s a liar about Sicko.
His only attempt at legitimate Hollywood movie making was a miserable failure called Canadian Bacon which cost more to make than it ever earned. Even that movie was based on bashing the USA.
The fat SOB piece of garbage is building up a whole heap of bad juju for himself.
