    1. Funny!

      Stephen Douglas was the pro-slavery Democrat presidential candidate who lost to Republican Abraham Lincoln!

  1. Think of the money saved in health care costs.

    It worked in the Netherlands and Liberals are hoping for the same cost saving measures here.

    “Opting out of the provincial Medicare Insurance program has always been an option for doctors since the introduction of Medicare in 1962. It is an option in every province in Canada. It has been most widely used in Quebec where three to five per cent of the physician population operates privately — and has been doing so for about 15 years.”

    L – Medicare Stress Test … is there an unexpected increase in cardiology “issues” since
    you know what? Every health care system has periodic stresses, a functional system
    could predict, prevent, ameliorate and adapt.

    In Sask. and Canada, over the last 3 years, censorship of any critique of the status quo
    has been the “mandate” but going on decades.

    1. But maybe except for Québec, the provincial system gets penalised for allowing private clinics and charging the patient directly for the care. It’s like TurdHole claiming no one was forced….

  3. Tommy’s master thesis: The problems of the sub-normal family.

    He argued on of the key causes of poverty are sub-normal families.

    He urged sterilization of those deemed mentally defective.

    He called for segregation of sub-normal families.

    1. He urged sterilization of those deemed mentally defective.

      I can furnish a lengthy list of [spit] Progs…

  4. MAID for people addicted to drugs is evil. Just one step away from burning undesirables in ovens.

  5. On page one Tommy uses the term “high grade moron”! I think we should be using that term a lot more often in Canada.

  6. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics

    Before everyone gets their drawers in a knot over TC Douglas and eugenics, millions of people throughout history have embraced the same theory, including Winston Churchill.

    It’s so easy to have 20/20 hindsight.

    Tommy Douglas was probably as good as the average Canadian Premier, a club with few outstanding members.
