Named “The Greatest Canadian” of all time, Tommy Douglas gave a speech explaining the problem countries have when it comes to being governed. In a world called “Mouseland“, which could stand for any country, it becomes clear that the blame for being ruled by people who don’t care about the interests of society and ordinary people lies not with the rulers themselves but with the citizens, because they are the ones who elect them.
There’s no doubt this video reflects the reality of every country: in the end, a country gets what it chooses. A world of mice governed by cats. Five minutes of speech you can’t miss.
