At the conclusion of the NBA's Celebrity-All Star game that was
played in Toronto, Win Butler, the American lead singer of the
Montreal-based rock band Arcade Fire who won the MVP award, tried to use
his time at the microphone to tell voters in the U.S. that they might
learn a lot from their northern neighbors, specifically their
publicly-run health system that affords every single resident equal
access to quality care.
"I just want to say that it’s an election year in the US," Butler
stated. "The US has a lot they can learn from Canada: healthcare, taking
care of people, and I think..." But that's as far as he got when ESPN
correspondent Sage Steele took the mic away.
"So we’re talking about celebrities and not politics," said Steele, turning away. "Congratulations on your MVP!"
