Forget the previous post and do try not to make ubermensch connections with this current one.
Tommy Douglas, so-called progenitor of "universal healthcare" (in actuality, the concept was devised and used in a town in Saskatchewan long before he latched on to it) and dubbed the "greatest Canadian of all time", was a fascist who supported sterilisation of the poor, Catholics and the disabled. Please read here.
I suppose none of this should be a surprise. Trudeau had fascist leanings (long before driving Canada into the ground during the Seventies and early Eighties). Emily Murphy and Nellie McClung, members of the Famous Five, were bigots who advocated racial separation and sterilisation (I guess the Canadian Mint should carefully consider who they put on our money). Marc Garneau, astronaut and former Liberal candidate, also made derogatory remarks about the disabled (what is it with Liberals and fascism?). We brush over this because no one wants to admit that the same man who helped to ruin Canada was Hitler sympathiser or that the women who made Canadian women into "persons" just plain didn't like "dark" people. After all, we're a multicultural society!
At least the Austrians revile Hitler.
