Shona Holmes lying ad on CNN again re Canadian health care!

[glarius]

This is the second time in a couple of days I've seen this on CNN. Surely by now they know that what she says is a complete lie! She did not have a cancer on her brain she had a benign cyst on her pituatary.
The ad Shona Holmes did for American right wingers was based on a lie.
This ad, where Shona says she would have died in Canada with a brain cancer because the government wouldn't allow her timely treatment is a bald-faced lie. In the first place she didn't have a brain tumor!. What she had (and the reason why she was given a few months to wait in Canada) was a condition called Rathke's Cleft Cyst, on her pituitary gland. "Rathke's Cleft Cysts are not true tumors or neoplasms; instead they are benign cysts." The medical community in Ontario, where she lives, knew this and scheduled other, urgent cases ahead of her for surgery....which is quite reasonable.
Not only is this TV ad being played all over the U.S.A., but she has been interviewed on Fox TV and other places, spewing her lies. I believe this ad has had a great influence on the American public, in the fact that they are resisting Universal Health Care.
Someone should tell CNN that Shona Holmes has been unmasked as a liar here in Canada, and we haven't seen hair nor hide of her since!

1. I saw that the other day

and was spitting mad. CNN has to know she's a liar. And they don't give a shit. I know I complained numerous times last time the ad used to run. I guess I'll have to start again.

3. I believe Holmes is working with some group in Canada to try

and get our system privatized. No doubt she's getting well paid!

4. I've seen this ad a dozen times and I usually don't watch TV

The few hours I have watched this week and it is always airing. It makes my blood boil every time. Thank you for providing the truth of her situation. It is ridiculous and UNCHALLENGED propaganda.
