Tommy Douglas has been declared the winner of CBC's Greatest Canadian contest:
To delirious cheers, [music VJ George] Stroumboulopoulos dramatically argued that if Douglas, who died in 1986, were removed from the national equation "you remove the caring, sharing legacy of everything that we value . . . you remove this, and this is our most treasured, treasured national characteristic!"
Some days I wonder why I even bother fighting.
