Win Butler won the MVP trophy at today’s Celebrity All-Star game in Toronto, and the Arcade Fire frontman used his post-game interview with Sage Steele to suggest that the U.S. could learn a few things from Canada this election year. Steele wasn’t having anything of it, shutting Butler down with a “We’re talking about celebrity stuff, not politics.”
BUTLER: I just wanna say as an election year in the U.S., the U.S. has a lot they can learn from Canada: health care, taking care of people…
STEELE: We’re talking about celebrity stuff, not politics! Congratulations on your MVP!

wins a supermajority and then uses that to implement single payer. Could happen 
I do not think Bernie has a hope to win a supermajority in congress. Most of all I want that last 10% covered. At the very least. I obviously think Hillary has a better chance at fixing healthcare, that last 10 %, than Bernie does. Be that as it may, I want Americans to know and understand that universal health care is much more cost effective health care than what the US has had. May wake some of them up to how they have been used by the GOP in the last 40 years. I want Americans to understand what the rest of the West has. So they know where their GOP has them sitting. I'm thrilled Bernie is making it an issue. I just don't have the sunny optimism you have that Bernie has a chance of getting her done.
