I've decided to repost a pretty important speech from Tommy Douglas; there will be more to come so stay tuned.

NDP motion to include free drugs and dental for those 65 and over

Dear Mrs Priddy, Mrs. Charlton, and Jack

I'm writing in response to the recent move to afford free dental-care to seniors. Bravo.

This leap forward occurred thousands of years ago, and allowed two things: parents to establish a fixed domain, so they could explore and gather while the grandparents cared for the children. It also inaugurated an era of culture with the grandparents now able to teach and influence their young.
