In the media: NDP are right to celebrate the legacy of Tommy Douglas. Maybe they should consider adopting it.

On June 30, 2011, the Winnipeg Free Press and Edmonton Journal reprinted MLI’s Brian Crowley’s Hill Times column on the legacy of Tommy Douglas and how the NDP are no longer the party of T.C. Douglas:

Those who call down the former Saskatchewan premier’s name in defence of their policy hardly seem to know whom they are talking about. For if the NDP were truly the party of T.C. Douglas, it would be a different animal today.

On July 2, the Pembroke Daily Observer and the Vancouver Sun reprinted Crowley’s column and on July 5, the Moncton Times & Transcript published the column as well.
