Clip from his Speech to the 50th Anniversary NDP Convention.
Tommy Douglas was present at the Regina Convention that founded the CCF. At the 50th Anniversary Convention in 1983, he delivered what many consider his greatest speech. Those present cheered him for over 20 minutes.
Tommy Douglas on Future of Medicare (1983)
Your point is obviously ridiculous. You said “You are obviously a socialist. The Nazis were socialists. Tommy Douglas was a eugenicist.”so you mean they are the same, which is not reasonable at all.Can i say “Hiltler was a man, you are a man,so you are the same?”You are truely an anti-socialist who is brain washed by the capitalism. And you can never hurt the reputation of TD
Then turn in your healthcard, don’t accept SS and OAS when you retire and don’t drive on roads.
Please look up the term bankrupt. Thanks and a have great day.
my god the brainwashing that the americans have suffered have really made them immune to logic……………
in your case conan said it best “When all else fails, there’s always delusion”.keep walking!
I am ashamed to say that i had not heard of this gentleman before, he looks like he was a very great man.
2:38 He’s texting.
i had a vacation in the U.S and needed to see a doctor (Couldnt pay for it) glad when i got back to B.C
Passionate man.Canada lost a TRUE politician when Tommy Douglas died.
I’d like to see you say this to Kiefer Sutherland’s face.Cos that is his Grandfather your bashing.
The man who most deserved to be Prime Minister, but was never given the opportunity!
+TheTruthIsTheWay11 TC Douglas= The Greatest Canadian.
NDP is the way to gooooooo.. vote.
medicare is really helpful this is a great video
This man died 30 years ago today, and he is STILL ahead of America. FDR got us a little toward the goal, Truman tried to get us closer, JFK tried to get us closer, LBJ got us a lot closer, even the Republican Nixon got us a little closer, Bill Clinton tried to get us closer, Obama got us a lot closer…
Go, Hillary, go! And bring a Democratic Congress with you! So we can finally do for our country what Douglas did for Canada so long ago.
that’s more Bernie Sanders. Hillary is more like our Liberal party.
I’d say Jill Stein or Mimi Soltysik are a little closer to Douglas than Sanders.
As Tommy said, “Don’t EVER let them tell you that we can’t afford heath care”.
too bad the NDP is continuing to slide into decline….
that was great,what a good,caring man he was. No wonder he was voted the greatest Canadian in the world!
He is a very inspiring man,i just wish he would’ve past away.Thank you Lord our God he was alive!!!:)
As a conservative, I am whole heartedly thankful for Tommy’s effort for providing Canada with free healthcare.
Great man, great Christian, great Socialist, great Minister, may he rest in peace.
