I’m not even going to bother debunking the myth he’s perpetrating here. That’s been done countless times already. We’ve talked about the waiting lists, health care rationing, Canadian officials who have had to come to America for care, and the rest. Besides, I don’t intend to fisk the political ramblings of a 16-year-old pop star.

So why am I posting this at all? To provide parents with a bit more insight into the it-boy their children, particularly their teenage girls, are worshiping. Apparently he thinks Americans are “evil” for not socializing health care and creating a system where even government officials need to visit other countries for quality care.

The Canadian-born Bieber never plans on becoming an American citizen. “You guys are evil,” he says with a laugh. “Canada’s the best country in the world. We go to the doctor and we don’t need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you’re broke because of medical bills. My bodyguard’s baby was premature, and now he has to pay for it. In Canada, if your baby’s premature, he stays in the hospital as long as he needs to, and then you go home.”

And there’s this nugget:

- He isn’t sure what political party he’d support if he was old enough to vote. “I’m not sure about the parties,” Bieber says. “But whatever they have in Korea, that’s bad.”

I’m not quite sure what he’s referencing there. Is he referencing North Korea, saying their one-party state is bad? Or is he referencing South Korea, which brings about images of politicians brawling in the assembly? Who knows. If you’ve got any insight on that one, let me know.
