Leadership, a word associated with bold and recorded act of an individual that made a lasting impact in some shape or form. In times such as trial and new beginning, great leaders emerge which are sometime immortalized by the passing time due to their legacy; however, not all who lead are necessarily bold and can lost in time and the ideology of the day.

Medicare in Canada was born in 1962 thanks to Tommy Douglas a former member of provincial parliament. While Tommy Douglas was born in Falkirk Scotland and only moved to Canada when he was six, he decided to join the Saskatchewan Labour Party in 1932 because he was inspired to help Canadians after witnessing the hardships they endured through the Great Depression. In 1942 Tommy Douglas who became the leader of the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation, won the provincial election in Saskatchewan.
