The Story of Mouseland: As told by Tommy Douglas in 1944

[mirrimarable]

seems to be our coalition government- is it your government too?

Perfect little film...when will an American worker ever be able to afford to run for president? This little story shows the need for Campaign Finance Reform, so the "little guy" can become our LEADER who will work for the PEOPLE again!

Isn't this a film to end socialism in Canada? I like the idea of getting rid of the ruling class which is Republicans, Democrats, and anyone indebted to Corporations and Religions. Lets get someone that's experienced in humanity and the needs of the people. Working toward a better world for everyone not just the Business owners and investors.

[masonkiller666]

@wowsydna You are so utterly propagandized by your government I'm sorry for you

I forgot how lovely Kiefer Sutherland's voice could be.

What people need to realize is that all parties are made up of cats. They are all corruptible human beings. The problem isn't that they are cats (they all are), but that they are not limited to very specific functions. Once you give any cat unlimited power (even one you are convinced is a mouse), he will eventually act like a cat.

[tmoqc]

What Tommy Douglas is saying is that the traditional political parties do not represent the interests of the mass of the people. Republicans are black cats, Democrats white cats, Conservatives brown cats and Liberals grey cats. But they are all cats. The bolshevik mouse is calling for a fair representation of the people, not a government that is afraid to stand up to power hungry corporations, the cats, that feed off of the working class, the mice.

[MilanTbay]

@tmoqc Beyond that, The system is set up to vote in cats. Mice want to be cats so vote them into office. Got to accept they are mice and vote for the mouse.

[jmzsil]

@tmoqc I am an American, but politics is politics. That said, I think that is a fairly fair description. There is a difference between a polititian, and a statesman or stateswoman. That is what a country needs. unfortunatly human nature is corrupt so it is difficult to tell who is actually going to do what they say until they are in office. which is a crap shoot.

[crazyforcanada]

Aha! It's fabulous! Spectacular! I can't stop laughing! "My friends, watch out for the little fella with an idea!" -- I don't vote for the Democrats, New or Otherwise, but I vote for this video !

Something to think about before we

Democrats criticize President Obama.

You can see what he is up against, and he's only been in office a few months.

No matter what he does, anything is better than the last 8yrs. under Republican disaster! He has a lot of garbage to clean up. Let's be there to help him and have his back!

[jmzsil]

@sweetandexcellent unfortunatly. he claimed to have a "transparent" office. didn't hasn't happened yet. no I don't expect perfection. and yes W has some shade on/in him, but I have yet to see a president as hands off as him. 8 yrs R disaster? yea how much will BHO do when his four is up? and he may get another four. I don't see a viable R for the next one yet. just an opinion/point of view not a argument starter.

[CanadaLarry]

Hay, what I just said in not a fairy tail. It has already happened. Did you not read about it in the Press?.,, Oh, sorry I forget, the press does not, or is not allowed to print that kind of news. The Gag orders, you know.

[jmzsil]

@CanadaLarry you guys have that kind of press too?

[CanadaLarry]

@jmzsil YES, our press is just as bad or worse, We should know better. We have not all been dunbed down by years and years of foridated water. But we listen to the Media in America and are just as fooled as are you Americans.

To put it bluntly, There is no hope for America, it is lost and will never achieve the greatness that the founders hoped and planed for.

The Kings of Europe have never forgiver and forgot about the loss of the Colonies and now they sit back and smerk at our demise.

[jmzsil]

@CanadaLarry the sad thing is that we bailed them out in time of war, not only sending the German army packing, but helped rebuild thier country. The money that was sent and no gratatued, well by the aristocrats?

[CanadaLarry]

What we need now is another Idea. One that does not include PM Steven Harper going behind our backs or a Bush and signing an agreement that will take Canada away from the Canadians and put it into the hands of the North American Union (NAU) and ultimately back into the hands of the Queen of England who is after all only a little part of the NWO whos goal is the One World Government on a planet with only 500 million people after the Mass murders of 6.28 billion of us useless food eaters.

[artsychic2000]

become a freeman on the land with a notice of understanding and intent and a claim of right.

[jmzsil]

@artsychic2000 sorry can you explain? I am still learning about this politics thing.

[artsychic2000]

@jmzsil it's about declaring your sovereignty to the queen. Most people don't realize they are still ruled by the queen and the henchmen that rule her

[stevecuddles]

@jmzsil Most people have to work very hard just to get by. A very few are rich and other people work for them. If you look at who gets elected to Parliament (or Congress in the US), its mostly rich people: Lawyers and corporate executives and other businessmen.

But Tommy says that working people voting for rich people to be their government is like mice voting for cats. They will just make laws that are good for the rich and bad for the poor and workers.

[jmzsil]

@CanadaLarry not sure i buy the NWO but i do know the us presidents since GHWBush has spoke of it and the North American Free Trade Agreement, is that still on the table? yea, Canada wants there country, we want ours, Mexico may be for it. as their economy is way worse than the three.

[ddiiaa52]

Right/left..they are all doing it. Doesn't matter which party is in.

[jmzsil]

@ddiiaa52 yes forget the right or left find out who will do right not wrong then well is it too late? The constitution does have a section that says if this (current) government ends up like the tyranical one our forefathers had from England, we have the right to abolish it and start a new one. the question is, what that lip service on paper? or how would we do that if necessary?

[reksub10]

very apt in that the aristocracy do actually think of themselves as a different species from the lower classes .mabye they are cos they are all inbred fuck who hide away the ones with the deformities

[anutarasamyat]

their deformities are those of the mind... the ones that can still walk to the bank that is.

[reksub10]

so true so true.only they usually send some lap dog wannabe to the bank for them some suit wearing monkey lol

[jmzsil]

@reksub10 tuche!

[me34345]

Fantastic. This should inspire people to actually think about politics.

[gophersk]

Tommy Douglas is Canada's Greatest Canadian

His inspiration can still be felt today.

For now.

Right Wing Governements/ Cats are again trying to ruin our society.

Cheer on the mice.
