Oh those analogies


I love right-wingers coming up with "stories" about the random Canadian who had to wait in line to get their flu-shot.

Like Americans never have to wait in a line for health care.

Oh, one other thing about Canada. They LOVE their health care system.

Who's the greatest Canadian of all time to -- y'know -- Canadians?

Why Tommy Douglas.

Who is he?


As leader of the Saskatchewan Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) from 1942 and the seventh Premier of Saskatchewan from 1944 to 1961, he led the first socialist government in North America and introduced universal public healthcare to Canada.
