Quotes
- “The speech from the throne speaks about maintaining peace - peace today, when Canadian nickel is being indirectly shipped to Ethiopia. Peace today, when Italian aeroplanes are being flown with British oil! Peace! Mr. Speaker, if this be peace it must be like the peace of the Lord - it passeth all understanding.”
- “I am sure that hon. members will realize that I am not drawing on my imagination when I state that last fall there were children going to school in Saskatchewan with only sacking wrapped around their feet. We have gone into homes and found mothers and children lying on piles of bedding in the corner; they did not have the proper bedding equipment or the proper clothing to meet the rigours of a very cold winter.”
- “Will it be a great source of comfort to certain Canadian boys to know that the bullet that maimed them for life was made from Canadian nickel sold by the International Nickel Company?”
- “When the war came we were shocked to find, as Mr. Thorson, the then Minister of National War Services said, that forty-six per cent of the men called were rejected because that depression had left physical and psychological scars which will never be erased from that generation.”
- “We agree with the statement contained in the encyclical Quadragesimo Anno, written by Pope Leo XIII, that "anything which dominates the life of the community should be owned by the community." That is the basis upon which we believe there should be government ownership of monopolistic enterprises.”
- “We believe that no nation can survive politically free but economically enslaved.”

Thomas Clement „Tommy“ Douglas, PC, CC, SOM (* 20. Oktober 1904 in Falkirk, Großbritannien; † 24. Februar 1986 in Ottawa, Ontario) war ein kanadischer sozialdemokratischer Politiker. Der aus einer schottischen Einwandererfamilie stammende baptistische Pastor war 17 Jahre lang – vom 10. Juli 1944 bis zum 7. November 1961 – Premierminister der Provinz Saskatchewan. Die von ihm geführte Regierung war die erste sozialistische in Nordamerika und begründete das öffentliche Gesundheitssystem in Kanada. Von 1942 bis 1961 war er Vorsitzender der Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) in Saskatchewan. Als die CCF sich im Jahr 1961 mit dem Canadian Labour Congress zur Neuen Demokratischen Partei (NDP) zusammenschloss, wurde Douglas zum Parteivorsitzenden auf Bundesebene gewählt; dieses Amt hatte er bis 1971 inne. Insgesamt 24 Jahre lang saß er (mit kurzen Unterbrechungen) im kanadischen Unterhaus, von 1935 bis 1944 sowie von 1962 bis 1979.
