It seems Sarah Palin has put her foot in her mouth - again.

The notoriously outspoken former governor of Alaska spoke in Calgary over the weekend. During her speech, Palin admitted while growing up her family would "hustle over the border for health care".

Critics are now buzzing over the hockey moms' claim, especially given her previous warnings about expanding the U.S. governments' role in health care.

The hockey mom and U.S. vice-presidential hopeful was heard saying "Isn't that kind of ironic now, zooming over the border, getting health care from Canada!"
