Life and Political Times of Tommy Douglas

Vision and eloquence, two qualities valued most in a political leader, were what Tommy Douglas was all about, Social policies, taken for granted today--medicare, a national pension plan, bargaining rights for civil servants, a Wheat Board to protect farmers--were first advocated by Douglas. Medicare, his finest achievement, was wrested into place in Saskatchewan, and finally embraced as one of Canada's national accomplishments.Stewart, Walter is the author of 'Life and Political Times of Tommy Douglas' with ISBN 9781552783825 and ISBN 1552783820.
