In Canada, there was a TV special entitled The Greatest Canadian and, in the end, Tommy Douglas, the father of Canada's nationalized health system, was given the title.
Tommy Douglas wrote his Masters on the need to STERILIZE certain people.
“The Problems of the Subnormal Family,” was the title of his thesis, written in 1933.
People WERE sterilized, even after Douglas repudiated his beliefs. Right around the time Hitler was losing the war. Odd that.
Yet, in the West it would seem, we prefer other villains (Hitler) to our own as long as our "heroes" are seen as having created the most utilitarian systems/ideologies/movements etc.
Yet, for those that were harmed...history remains silent.
