Oh, Canada

The father of national health care
— Maple Leaf Division

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?

Tommy Douglas.

Who is he?

He’s the man responsible for Canada "Socialized" medical system.

When Americans had the same time of contest, we proved ourselves idiots — did we choose Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, Martin Luther King, Jonas Salk, Thomas Edison, Susan B. Anthony, Eisenhower? No. The poll had Reagan number one.

I credit the extra 10-yards on the football fields…or the mullet.
