In November 2004, Canadians voted Tommy Douglas the Greatest Canadian of
all time following a nationwide contest. Over 1.2 million votes were cast
in a frenzy of voting that took place over six weeks as each of 10
advocates made their case for the Top 10 nominees in special feature
programs on CBC Television.

TOMMY DOUGLAS

"My friends, watch out for the little fellow with an idea." - Tommy Douglas
1961.

For more than 50 years, his staunch devotion to social causes, rousing
powers of speech and pugnacious charm made Tommy C. Douglas an unstoppable
political force. From his first foray into public office politics in 1934
to his post-retirement years in the 1970s, Canada's 'father of Medicare'
stayed true to his socialist beliefs -- often at the cost of his own
political fortune -- and earned himself the respect of millions of
Canadians in the process... SNIP
