Mouseland is a story told by a man awarded the distinction of being the "greatest Canadian" in a nation wide vote in November of 2004. He is also known for being celebrated as the 'father of medicare' in Canada. I want you to look at this video: http://unionsforsinglepayerhr676.org/videos/2009-07-25-video_by_tommy_douglas_father_of_canadian_healthcare As we are currently taking up political theory I would like you to respond to the following questions: What is the distinction/s between the cats and mice? Why do you think mice keep on voting in the cats? How can we use the message of the video to advance the purpose of democracy? Please send your thoughts via webct and a half page or more is worthy of a bonus mark towards next major exam.
