Calling progressive New Democrats and also "One Big Party" Supporters

Tommy Douglas's called on Canadians to help "build a new Jerusalem in our green and pleasant land." Such a desire had been echoed a poem by William Blake that was an anthem of British Labour.

...We are Canada's socially progressive political party choice

Cosmopolitan is a coming together of peoples who support social justice and a related system of ethics, as a basis of the development of Canada as a model progressive and humane society

The political party created in honour of Tommy Douglas

Cosmopolitan embraces the Canadian idealism associated with the political leadership of Tommy Douglas.

Tommy Douglas, successfully championed universal public healthcare in Canada. Tommy Douglas, a Great Canadian, also successfully championed a variety of other social justice and democratic institutional innovations, when he became Premier of Saskatchewan (as leader of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation or 'CCF'). His inspirational political leadership and social commitments were grounded in his progressive spiritual convictions as a Canadian Baptist minister, who had grew up on the Canadian Prairies.

While the minister of the Calvary Baptist Church in Weyburn, Saskatchewan, Douglas organized the unemployed.

"We believe that any society, most of all a Christian society, is measured by what it does for the aged, for the sick, the orphans and the less fortunate who live in our midst."

Tommy Douglas made the following further representation at his nomination speech, November 4, 1933:

"I am conscious of the fact that is is not customary for ministers to take an active part in the affairs of a nation; but I also remember that there was One who went about doing good so that the common people heard Him gladly. And I would not be worthy of His name if I did not take up the sword on behalf of the underpaid and underprivileged. I therefore dedicate myself this evening to the service of this constituency..."

Cosmopolitan embraces such an idealism that had inspired Tommy Douglas, as a Great Canadian. Such a spiritually based idealism, appears to have been substantively lost, under the secularization and bureaucratization of contemporary "New Democratic" political organizations in Canada.

Cosmopolitan re-captures the original grassroots-orientation and social convictions of the Canadian idealism that had been championed by Tommy Douglas, as the leader of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), who became the Premier of Saskatchewan.
