    During the second, highly-tense presidential debate Sunday, Donald Trump referenced Canada's health care while trying to criticize Hillary Clinton's health care plan.

    "She wants to go to a single-payer plan, which would be a disaster, somewhat similar to Canada," Trump said.

    He then went on to imply that Canadians are so upset with their health care system, they cross the border to the US to get their service.

    "And if you haven't noticed the Canadians, when they need a big operation, when something happens, they come into the United States in many cases because their system is so slow," he further explained.

    Meanwhile, Canadians, who were innocuously watching the debate and just here for a good time, honestly felt so attacked.

    (Some people weren't as nice about it, but those Canadians exist too.)

    In fact, people #factchecked him on it and quickly and plainly said that not only do Canadians not flee to America for health care, but their accessible and universalized health care is one of the pride and joys of being Canadian.

    A greater percentage of Americans get prescription drugs from Canada than Canadians get health care from Americans.

    I know more Canadians who've gone to the States for Cherry Coke than for health care https://t.co/N44wVNo3Y8

    So I can make a pretty safe statement on behalf of the great (no bias) nation of Canada:
