why?

Viola viola made this segregated theater because she wanted to prove that the Canadian society was able to accept different race and that this society was not only for white people.

Tommy The province, which was the home base of “agrarian socialism,” had been governed since 1944 by the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) led by T.C. (Tommy) Douglas. The CCF had originally intended to socialize much of the economy but, like social democratic formations elsewhere, had retreated from this position and by the 1950s concentrated on building a welfare state within a mixed economy. Medical care had always been a centerpiece of its welfare state program and by 1959 considerable strides had been made. The initial innovation was universal hospital insurance which was introduced as early as 1947, and by 1958 had been adopted nationally as a federal-provincial jointly funded program. This is what made it financially possible for Douglas to announce in 1959 that the province would be launching a universal medical insurance plan.

what?

Maurice The Rocket was more than a hockey player. No other athlete has had an impact on Canadian society like The Rocket. He was a French Canadian hero in an era when French Canada had no other to place on the world stage. Revered and adored, The Rocket was the focus of a street riot in Montreal in 1955 – now considered a manifestation of modern Quebec's ambition to be master of its own destiny. To students of society as well as sport, Maurice Richard helped define his time and place at a turning point in Canadian history.

Tommy “The Father of Medicare” saw his Medicare plan enacted in Saskatchewan in 1962 and later by the federal Pearson government in 1966. His social activism inspired many Canadians from coast to coast, including a conservative-minded history student from Nova Scotia. Tommy Douglas had long been a believer in universal health care, a belief borne out of his social gospel background and seeing farmers unable to afford health care during the Great Depression. 1959 is the year that Douglas is finally able to make his Medicare plan public. His plan covers every person in Saskatchewan with pre-paid, publicly administered health care. Saskatchewan doctors and Douglas’ political opponents attack the plan viciously. Yet by the time Medicare is adopted in Saskatchewan in 1962, these attacks dissipate. Douglas does not see Medicare implemented under his watch, as he leaves provincial politics in 1961.

Tommy Douglas

Him as The premier of Saskatchewan He became a symbol of what the socialist surrogate promised. His government was inventive and active, and established many programs that would later be achieved by others, notably in the field of social services. The most significant innovation during his time as premier was the enforcement of government-funded health insurance. In 1947, Saskatchewan’s Hospital Services Plan came into effect, the first hospital insurance plan in Canada; this prompted the federal government to create a national plan that helped to fund diagnostic services and hospital-operating costs in conjunction with the provinces. Douglas played a lead role in this initiative, although the legislation that established a comprehensive health insurance plan in Saskatchewan was passed in 1961, after he had resigned as premier. In 1966, the federal government followed suit with the Medical Care Act

Thomas Clement Douglas was the premier of Saskatchewan, first leader of the New Democratic Party, Baptist minister, politician . Douglas led the first socialist government elected in Canada and is identified as the father of socialized medicine. moreover, He also helped establish democratic communism in the standard of Canadian politics. Douglas was unsuccessful in the 1934 Saskatchewan election. He stood up be a candidate in the federal election of 1935. he was successful. The Second World War further indoctrinated Douglas that the socialist case was conclusive. Although he heard it frequently argued in congress that money could not be found to put people to work, money was available to finance a war. During his first two qualifications in Parliament, Douglas earned a reputation as a trained and ingenious debater. He claimed as his county the deprived and oppressed , and he took unpopular stands in defense of civil liberties.

New democratic party Douglas resigned as premier in 1961 to lead the federal (NDP), created as a formal alliance between the CCF and organized labor. Douglas was the new party's obvious choice, primarily because of his success in Saskatchewan but also because he was universally regarded as the left's most eloquent spokesman. He was able to inspire and motivate party workers and he could also explain democratic socialism in moral, ethical and religious terms.

His Legacy He and his colleagues had considerable influence on government. Programs such as Medicare, a Canada-wide pension plan, and bargaining rights for civil servants were first advocated by Douglas and his party, and are now widely accepted in Canada.
