		When the NDP was created, that federal political party inherited the political legacy of human rights, social justice, and universal public healthcare, that Tommy Douglas had championed, as Premier of Saskatchewan.
		However, it is further apparent that safeguarding the kind of Canada that Tommy Douglas sought to defend, was furthest from the minds of Jack Layton's NDP.
