  • Thomas Clement "Tommy" Douglas is a Canadian Social Democrat who lead the first socialist government in North America.
  • Tommy was born in 1907 in Scotland. He emigrated to Canada shortly after. As a child, Douglas developed a massive cancerous tumour on his leg. His parents didn't have any money so the hospital told them to fuck off but one of the doctors there who was teaching at the local university up the road decided that removing the tumour would be a good lesson to his students. Douglas would have died if it were not for that doctor who decided to treat him for free. Dr. Goldman removed the tumour, but the damage was so extensive that he decided to test his latest invention, a bionic limb. The only drawback was that the limb's main components were wooden, so Douglas developed a lifelong aversion to beavers. It was this incident that convinced the young Tommy that healthcare is a fundamental human righ
