T.C. Douglas - 09.25.11
submitter: robert kershaw
location:Toronto, Canada
Tommy Douglas led the first social-democratic government in North America and introduced free, universal healthcare to Canada. His Saskatchewan Co-operative Commonwealth Federation united with the Canadian Labour Congress to form the New Democratic Party and Douglas was elected as the NDP’s first federal leader. While I was in Toronto the present leader of the NDP, Jack Layton, sadly died of cancer.
