  • let the man eat his cookie

  • What a Slime Ball! He's like so many politicians and heads of healthcare in the U.S.

  • only in Edmonton

  • The head of Alberta Health Services is a Faaaaaaat Albert and needs to looooooooooose weight.

  • 1:28

    Journalist: Is this a problem that can be fixed in 4 years, sir, do you think?

    What the guy should have said: If it takes me that long to eat a cookie, then no.

  • Reporters are amazing at being passive aggressive cunts

  • "Oh Canada" Do you see the irony in it all yet?

  • COOKIE?!

  • WHY CAN'T A MAN EAT A COOKIE IN PEACE??

  • Comment removed

  • fuck the media.

  • GODDAMN IT PEOPLE.

    I don't care what a person has done, I don't care what a person has failed to do. I don't care if a person has a stance on things, I don't care if a person refuses to take sides.

    You don't interrupt a man eating his GODDAMN COOKIE.

  • that reporter is like the fly trying to land on the cookie

  • what an ass

  • that's not a cookie he's eating, he's eating a giant pound of

    of 0bama's shit, straight from BO's ass.

    it carries all the necessary ingredients: toxic waste, worms, AIDS/HIV, all other forms of deadly diseases and rare dangerous viruses... ...and of course liberalism, which kills 99.9% of a rational person's brain cells.... and leaves them the victim as a braindead zombie

  • No, no,no,...the severance package wasn't $700,000. He was offered 700,000 dollars or 700,000 cookies, and he chose the cookies!

  • I don't think he should have been punished for this. He was apparently on break, getting a snack, and he stated that the media was welcome to question him in 30 minutes. He's human with a life outside meetings, too, and who knows why his mood was the way it was. Wouldn't have killed the reporters to wait a half hour.

  • Love Aussies.

  • why does the media have to follow these people

    im not defending mr. cookie monster but let these people have a life alone

    away from politics

  • @spenore Please, the moment he signed up to be a politician was the moment he signed off on his personal life. Most of these politicians are corrupt as fuck anyway, I don't see why so many people are defending this old bastard.

  • He clearly says that media will receive responses in 30 mins. He's just come from quite possibly an intense meeting and just wants a little time. He's trying to communicate with a bit of comedy 'no comment'. Can't believe he got fired over this.

  • The man was fired with a severance payment of almost $700,000. That's a lot of cookies.

    For those of you who aren't clear;

    outraged taxpayers demand action after seeing this footage of a civil servant (not elected, but civil servant nonetheless)

    government responds, and fires the man in a "mutual decision" that his ability to continue in his duties was compromised

    government pays out $700,000 in taxpayer money as severance.

    we should have just let him eat the fucking cookie

  • @terokkarcraer No he should've stopped behaving like a fucking dickhead and done the right thing by the Canadian people. He's a disgrace to Australia. No matter how poorly the media behaves, for someone in such a senior position, that was a really disgusting way to respond.

  • must of been a god damn good cookie

  • Im gonna carry cookies around with me from now on.

  • Those reporters suck. There's such a thing as time and place.

  • The minister ministers through cookie dough.

  • Featured on TV Tropes! =D

  • haha I'm only watching this because of Hamish and Andy. I love the way he says cookie, brilliant :D

  • WANT TO KNOW THE REAL PROBLEM IS?!

    Did he ever finish that cookie?

  • let the man eat his cookie!

  • COOKIE WIN.

  • I sum up our conversation as such:

    look up "derek and clive are muppets"

  • It takes like 5 minutes to finish his mini cookie

  • What an Aussie hero

  • legend

  • Lets face it, cookies are a global epidemic holding us all back from intelligent communication... And don't even get me started on the muffins!!!

  • Completely unprofessional. He has no right to hold a job in government. Any employee who acts like that would be fired immediately. He is a disgrace to what even means to be a person, nevermind a leader.

  • @voluptuate maybe you should realize hes a humad being. and maybe has had it with being harrassed by the media. he made it clear hes on lunh and doesnt want to be bothered, gave them a place and time for questions and they continue. let the man be. im glad he had fun with them. and sure hes much more qualified then you'll ever be.

  • @Threebeansalad You are an asshole.

  • PUT THAT COOKIE DOWN...NOW!!!!

  • this guy is a 10 year old

  • I plead the cookie?

  • Inquiring minds want to know, what KIND of cookie are you eating?

  • Yes that cookie cost the taxpayers millons of dollars

  • what a F**ing jerk. He is just so rude, so inconsiderate. He could have very politely told them the media advisory thing from the beginning but he made it very clear that he simply did not want to be bothered. Yes, the media can get in your face but it wasnt like this was some sort of celebrity scandal with papparazzi in your face asking if you fathered an illegitimate child with a prostitute. They were asking him questions about the state of Alberta's healthcare, something he is responsible for

  • @maymonk You're just mad because you didn't get a cookie!

  • The Cookie Monster from Sesame Street must be jealous watching this hahahahhahaa :P

  • Damn! Let the man eat his cookie, #$#$ media! Would you even had bother him if he was sitting in the toilet?!?

  • that must be one fucking amazing cookie, those bitches have no respect for the cookie lol!!

  • His message is just so simply: Cookies for everyone. Cookies make people happy -> They cure illnesses -> Effective and cheap healthcare system! Atleast a new idea to avoid the media :D

  • Stephen should use his new found fame to get an advertising deal with the cookie company. Tag line “This cookie is so good I was willing to loose my job over it.” Likely make him millions.

    Also understand the frustration, media discussion in half hour and media is in your face wanting the answer now.

    I can see why his answer was inappropriate and I guess the bottom line is when you have a public position and are not ready to talk to the media make sure they do not find you.

  • Alberta's health care system = cookies for everyone!

  • This Australian . . . does he have a work permit to be employed in Canada?

  • Yer this guy is awesome. Let him eat his cookie.

  • Put that cookie down! NOW!

  • niiiice... leave the dude alone! he's OBVIOUSLY e a t i n g h i s c o o k i e!!!!!!! hahahahahah no the dude needs to stop shovelling tht cookie in his face and tell us what''s happening! lol

  • leave him the fuck alone, wow, media conference in 30 mins, fuckin chill

  • he just wanted to eat his goddamn cookie

    i mean its not like he wanted anal sex with the pope or anything

    its not like he wanted to give that woman a mullet or anything

    goddammn he just wanted to eat a cookie

    what a brave man, standing up to those...those....i cant bring myself to say it

    THOSE COOKIE HATERS

  • HOLY SHIT - WHAT KIND OF COOKIE IS THAT??!!1!

  • There's a really good autotune remix up..

    youtube.com/watch?v=oJhS7d95JA­k

  • Send him back to Australia and tell him to fuck a kangaroo!!  Lol!!!

  • He deservedly got fired. I can't even stand his ridiculous Australian accent! So faggy. Lol.

  • @mrshinyshoes haha if you think thats a Australian accent its probly about 2% aussie accent he's got, your gona need a translator if you ever visit Australia

  • @Vote1Jimmy Can't stand Australians! Especially their accents! Sounds so faggy and goofy. I understand Australia is the home of all the rejects from Great Britain, home of criminals who were sent there in the past. No wonder!! Lol-lol!!!

  • @mrshinyshoes yeah pretty much and all the criminals that wasnt caught went to Us and canada, and if your from canadan you beter be the english half of canada not the french part coz thats language is fuckt, and what type of a guy wears a fucken turtleneck sweaters, really???

  • @Vote1Jimmy Heh-heh....yeah, French is indeed a fucked up language. But the Australian accent is even more stupid! You like my look, eh? Thank you my friend. Yes, I turn all the girls on. ;)

  • @mrshinyshoes yeah sorry about sweater i didnt really think about its coz of how cold it is over there

  • @Vote1Jimmy No problem. Sorry to you....I didn't know you're from Australia!! Lol!! Oops. Yes, the turtleneck is pretty cool looking.

  • @mrshinyshoes

    fuck you, you fucking ignorant canadian cunt.

  • @mrshinyshoes

    fuck you, you fucking ignorant canadian cunt. the only reason you would have an australian over there to try to sort out your basket case of a health system is because you are too useless and stupid to sort it out yourselves.

  • @johncransom How can you tell an Aussie from a kangaroo's butt-hole? You can't. They both blare out the same annoying and crappy sound. "I'm eating my cookie....I'm eating my cookie". LOL. Suck my cock and enjoy.

  • @johncransom come one dude... Canada's health care is better then most, arguably the best. You're implying that simply because he's Australian, he's Alberta's saint, and our health care is a "basket case." smarten up. Don't be so defensive. Duckett was supposed to be an ambassador and representative for Alberta Health Services, and his actions in this video are beyond unproffesional. He deserved the consequence he received for this action.

  • @hugefanofhoney Fair play, i got to admit, i had a few too many drinks and had just been watching Derek and Clive before I made that comment, I was not expecting such a considered and reasonable response from any canadians after what I wrote. My reaction was a bit harsh to his call "I understand Australia is the home of all the rejects from Great Britain, home of criminals who were sent there in the past" ...wait, umm. no, what sort of ignorant cunt would say that?

  • @johncransom I think we've all gotten a little tipsy, and gone post crazy on youtube... haha, class act response though. right on man.

  • im glad they fired his ass

  • I think he's eating his cookie! LOL

  • Some of these guys think that they are born to have high paid jobs. I have found many of them to be incompetent and useless.

  • Thats awesome!

  • IT IS A BISCUIT NOT A COOKIE YOU TRAITOR!!!!

    I am going down to Calgary Tim Horton's to school these fools

  • not canadian, austrailian so instead of cookie canadian jokes start with australian cookie jokes.

  • Pause exactly one minute in.

  • 48 people want his cookie.

  • media = assholes

  • i can't comment right now, i'm eating my cookie

  • @roadranga Yup.. thats what it said..

  • I just don't understand what's going through his head?

    He says the media is not prepared?

    They look ready, he looks unprepared.

  • lmfao, that is hillarious

    ohh and he got fired cuz of that stupid comment but i wouldnt like reporters stalking me when im eating my cookie

  • lmfao, that is hillarious

  • FUCKING REPORTERS. LET THE POOR MAN EAT HIS COOKIE.

  • Honestly. Who takes a whole 2:14 to eat a cookie? If you liked this, check out the Sesame Street "C if for Cookie" song mixed with scenes from this video on YouTube.

    His cookie has definitely crumbled.

  • Wow, that's kind of cheap. WHAT A LAME EXCUSE! He must be embarrased about all the problems he made.

  • Comment removed

  • Damn, I could go for a good cookie right now ... the kind that makes you wish the whole world and all its problems would disappear, just long enough to savour every morsel. Just watching him eat that thing makes me drool.

  • Is it just me or is the way he says "I'm eating my cookie" incredibly patronizing and annoy? Anyone?

  • WOW can't to get him down here to run Obama care for us :) i ''l feel much better and maybe go eat a cookie with him unless my apendex is bursting the maybe i'd want to actuall medical help instead of a cookie eater but he'd be fun to eat cookies with and sing combaya , i bet he can sing it real nicely :) i would be nice to here him sing combaya

  • Note to CAnadians: Don't blame this guy; blame the fact that it's a total government-run system. Who cares about the cookie; change your system to a free-market system and watch those wait times disappear!

  • @Micheleeroo more like change to a free-market system and watch my health coverage disappear!

  • @kdadventure Enjoy your cookie-eating administrators and the long wait times.

  • Ah, what a handsome man. Take all the time you want!

  • 47 people aren't eating their cookie...

    best of luck finding a new job!

  • How long does it take to eat a cookie? Seriously it must have been a shitty cookie to take so long to force it down.

  • FU with your cookie....

  • i was at this hotel a few months ago and the cookies really werent THAT good.

  • This bucket o crap was canned... For freshness

  • WTF? If that was my cookie, I could have finished that off in about 15-20 seconds. He had no problem finding voice to TELL us he was eating a cookie, and to accuse the media of being un-prepared (actually, over-prepared) for something later on.

    I believe this man is a douche.

  • Doesn't take me that long to eat a cookie.

    Besides, judging from his size.. he's well versed in cookie eating.

    I think there was more afoot than just the cookie.

  • 1:20 -> Your argument is invalid.

  • All things considered: he really should not be forced to talk to the media harassing him while he's on his way to a meeting.  Especially since they only have to wait 30 minutes for their answers.

    I actually think he was quite polite compared to what I would do if there were half a dozen people with mics and cameras badgering me.

  • that must be a pretty good cookie...

  • well i am from Australia and i think that entitles me to say "what a bloody wanker"!!! if he lost his position than he brought it all on himself...

  • Well, it better be a Decadent cookie. President's Choice make the best chocolate cookies in the world.

  • Cookies always take precedence over health care folks. This is Canada!

  • dude this is epic..... so hilarious

  • Got this button from eatingmycookie  dot com. Putting it on my backpack.

  • really unprofessional

  • Why does the media have to be so pushy when he said that they have a media area set up to ask question in 30 minutes? That shows a bit of immaturity towards the media. Can't they just wait 30 minutes and then just ask the questions or are they really that impatient...

  • Lol! Class, so epic. Way to ditch the media. ;D

  • the media is annoying for following him around I mean can't they let eat his cook ??????????????????

  • This is sickening. Fucking loser, so entitled and so high up on his own god damn horse. Absolutely pathetic of this fat loser. He just so blatantly has no answer and that is his excuse? "I'm eating my cOOkie!" Does he want to be portrayed as a fat-ass asshole, because if so he's succeeding. Classic asshole.

  • This is a bad reflection on Australians, in my personal opinion.

  • @Garneteve Why would it reflect bad on Australians? Just because he has an Australian accent he suddenly represents a whole nation? I think this reflects bad on the cookie-eating nation. We are not all douche bags.

  • @Alley00Cat I am Australian as well, and I was in Canada when this happened only a week or so ago. Unfortunately, I find that when some particular person acts bad, it's a case of "one bad apple spoils the bunch" (or whatever the saying is).

  • What an asshole.

  • cookies are so awsome, I don't know where i'd be without cookies

  • Cookie Monster is a tag in this video hahahaha

  • I fucking love cookies.

  • .. And like I am certain about that another "great" Australian man soon will have to bite the dust (I'm actually having Julian Assange, WikiLeaks founder, in mind), this Saussie Aussie at last had to face the bitter reality! LoL! - Tobbe in Sweden -

  • Haha I love at 0:08 when he just shoves the COOKIE in that bitch's face.

  • i'm eating my cookie.

  • COOOOOOOKIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE MOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNSSSSSSSTAAAA­AARRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • wowz thats amazing :/ im jelous of u alberta :P

  • As someone who works in broadcast news, I can't understand why people are so quick to blame the media for doing their jobs; a job which the public demands on a daily basis.

  • Jaywalking cookie eating Freak!

  • must of been a damn good cookie :)

  • Did anyone check his mental health...this idiot was acting strange, like WIERD!

    Send him to the loonie bin!

  • The reporters need to admit that they also want some of that cookie.

  • Bet you this gonna be made into a South park episode.

  • Mr. Duckett is a proud graduate of the digital diploma mill known as the "Institute for Corporate Directors" where you can spend 4 weekends and $20,000.00 to get your certification. Is this the kind of corporate responsibility and accountability the Rotman School teaches? I wonder if the people of Alberta paid for Mr. Ducketts 'professional' certification? He'll surely use that on his resume for his next lucrative board appointment.

    You can look for Stephen Duckett in ICD 'Alumni' listing.

  • Our health care system is being gutted to make privatization more appealing to the average fuck in our province. A vote for the Conservatives is a vote against YOUR best interests.

  • Come on Alberta, wake up! Ed Stelmach and his cronies are purposely sabotaging public health care in order to make privatization look like some kind of savior.

    Except it won't be any kind of savior whats so ever. You'll receive the same kind of treatment as you do now except it'll cost you thousands and the rich pukes in America pushing Ed for privatization will continue to get rich off of Canadians.

  • This video made it to ebaums world.

  • 45 people are not eating their cookie :)

  • Why is that the image you're wanting to portray to Albertans that you're eating a cookie?

  • How about a little accountability....

    Will Mr. Duckett the Alberta Health Services President and Chief Executive Officer be at the media advisory to answer questions? no, his minions will be. Man up answer a question or two.

    Mr. Duckett, go crawl back into the hole you came from.

    Disgraceful.

  • Idiot, I hope to see the PC's thrown out on their ass.

  • What a dick head.

  • I tried saying this today when my wife asked me to take out the garbage. She went all Mel Gibson on me. In life, "I'm eating a cookie" is usually a bad answer

  • GAWD DAMN THIS GUY IS ONLY TRYING TO EAT A COOKIE :D

  • COOKIE POWA!

  • He is now my main hero. This is legendary.

  • He is now my main hero

  • priceless

  • THAT JUST MAKES ME WANT TO VOTE FOR HIM!!

  • well he WAS eating a cookie.

  • Kudos to Ducket. That's my opinion. Sometimes, you've just got to not harrass people when they're walking down the street. The media couldn't keep their noses out for half a freaking hour, he had every right to turn them away. And let's face it, you don't step between a man and his cookie.

  • @LiveWithoutFire Media are dogs. He was going to a speech and they follow him around.

  • YOU COST ME MY JOB YOU WANKER, BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO STUFF YOUR POCKETS WITH BONUSES AND WAGE HIKES, AND ON TOP OF THAT YOU ACT LIKE A 10 YEAR OLD. GLAD THEY FIRED YOUR ASS. GOOD LUCK GETTTING ANOTHER CUSHY JOB LIKE THAT AGAIN. MAKE SURE YOU BRING A COOKIE TO YOUR NEXT JOB INTERVIEW.

  • "Hope it was a good cookie" ... I feel a meme comming up !! I'm eating a cooKIE

  • Can nobody eat a cookie in peace these days?

  • Just got my pin from eatingmycookie dt com.

  • Cookiegate!

  • Lol good albertan pride right there..

  • storm teacup

  • This Clown Needs His Ass Fired Immediately.

  • Im Eating My Cookie! <3
