“Canada needs to reform its health care system, and let the private sector take over some of what the government has absorbed,” said Sarah Palin to a Canadian Comedian.

Mary Walsh was the Canadian Comedian, and did the prank for the popular Canadian fake-news television show, “This Hour Has 22 Minutes.” Walsh pranked Sarah Palin in the United States at a local Borders, where Palin was signing copies of her book, “Going Rogue: An American Life: An American Life.”  She was in character, as the popular Marg Delahunty.  With a camera man and microphone, she approached Palin as a news reporter from Canada.

Calling Palin the “Thrilla from Wasilla” and the “Alaskan Aphrodite,” Walsh ran to the front of the line and shouted, “Ms. Palin, we came all the way up from Canada and I just wanted to ask you  if you had any words of encouragement for the Canadian Conservatives who have worked so hard to try to diminish that kind of socialized medicine, we have up there. Any words of encouragement at all, Ms. Palin? ”

Palin responded, “Keep the faith. And that common sense conservatism needs to be plugged into Canadian policies too. O’kay?”

Palin’s security pushed Walsh out of the borders. Walsh got upset and said, “I just had a couple of questions for Ms. Palin.” The security guards responded,  “This is not the proper venue.”  Walsh shot back, “But she’s the person of the people. So why wouldn’t she want to speak to the people?  We came all the way down from Canada to get her to sign our book.” The security guards didn’t listen and Walsh said, “Alright, alright. Obviously she isn’t the person of the people at all!”

Walsh met up with Palin later at the loading dock. Palin restated her previous answer and added, “Canada needs to reform its health care system, and let the private sector take over some of what the government has absorbed.”

If recent polls mean anything, most Canadians would disagree with Palin. Most Canadians are happy with their public health care system.

After Palin left, Walsh talked to the camera. “Who knew you had to go down in the loading dock to ask the questions here in the land of the free and the home of the brave. I guess that they were afraid that perhaps somebody might ask the question of  ‘why was every word in the book a lie? Or seemed to be anyway, even the word, “word”. “    As Palin’s bus was leaving, Walsh waved at it and shouted, “Good luck in 2012.” then she turned to the camera and said, “It’s the end of the world anyways, so what odds?”
