Tommy Douglas, voted GREATEST CANADIAN OF ALL TIME, pioneered their National Health Care. His grandson, actor Kiefer Sutherland, introduces this animation of Douglas' political parable Mouseland. The moral: mice shouldn't elect cats to govern (and eat!) them, not even bipartisan cats. Can you identify Obama in this prescient parable?

  • Are you being serious or was that a joke?

  • i remember seeing this when i was like 7 or 8

  • Shirley Douglas was kicked out of the United States for trying to set up child care for impoverished Blacks - they figured that there might be WMD hidden there (though none were ever found).

    Kiefer did speak out on the American health care debate - finally.

  • @MsTinrose: They should hear from Shirley Douglas too!  She has her father's oratorial fire!
