CBC’s Greatest Canadian honored with mini-series

Last year's hotly debated Greatest Canadian series named social justice advocate Tommy Douglas as our country's most outstanding citizen of all-time. Though rumor has it that Roch Voisine is still demanding a recount, the CBC has green lighted The Tommy Douglas Story, a four-hour mini series set to air next season. Filming will commence February 16 in Saskatchewan with Michael Therriault (who played Leo Bloom in the Canadian version of The Producers) playing the role of Douglas.
