Seventy years ago we pledged to provide health care for every man, woman and child, regardless of race, colour or financial status... and by God we're going to do it!
Tommy Douglas made this pledge during his campaign for universal health care. Led to the implementation of universal health care in Canada in 1966, which improved the quality of life for many Canadians who could not afford health care. The implementation of universal health care made Canada a leader in social welfare and justice and taking care of citizens in poverty. I chose this quote because it is an example of Canadas humanitarianism and compassion for fellow citizens. -
