Re: Canadian (Socialized) Health Care
[ QUOTE ]
It's really quite sad how most younger Canadians have never heard of Tommy Douglas. He is never mentioned in our school system here, I had never heard of him growing up. And yet he was voted the greatest Canadian to have ever lived. And he most definitely is. Tommy Douglas is a big part of why this country is as great as it is. He was responsible not only for socialized health care, but for a left turn in politics in general. His NDP is still fighting the leftist fight today, stronger than ever, the voice of the nation's proletariat for almost half a century. I am not an NDP supporter (card carrying Liberal), but I believe a strong NDP presence is vital for the success of this country. And I am also proud to say I live in an NDP riding, which ironically is one of the most affluent ridings in the country. I'd much rather my riding go to the leftist conscious than the neo-con "god bless canada/nelson mandela is a terrorist" retards. [/ QUOTE ] Have you responded to any of the criticisms posed at your OP? Also, why do you think the two options in life are NDP and neoconservatism? |
