28. Welcome - what a way to start your time here. And thanks to Tommy Douglas
I am telling any and all these days about Tommy Douglas, the greatest Canadian. What did Douglas do? He fought long and hard in Saskatchewan and nationally to bring about the Canadian medicare system.
If we had a politician in the mold of Tommy Douglas who would stand up for the right thing, not just 'what we can get.'

So glad your dad came through it. I used to do some work in Canada many years ago. Everybody loved the health care system that I talked to.
