Jack Layton on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos
Loading...
Uploaded by TheHour on Oct 6, 2008
Jack Layton, leader of the NDP party, joins The Jack Layton got into federal politics in 2003, when he was elected leader of the NDP. And while he was new to Ottawa, Layton wasn't a political rookie, he had already cut his teeth as a city councillor for nearly 20 years. He was a voice on the left of local Toronto politics who worked in the fight against AIDS, opposed Toronto's bid for the 96' Olympics and helped create the White Ribbon Campaign to stop violence against women. As leader of the NDP in Ottawa he's run in two federal elections and played a big role in the House of Commons. But Layton wants more - he wants to be Prime Minister.

Careful. Ron Paul supports small govt. and Layton supported massive government programs. I see your point in influence, but you need to do your research.

@cobalt545 The conservatives seem to be good to the economy, I'll give you that. But the thing is, it doesn't seem that the working families are profiting from it, but maybe we should give it some time. Who knows, maybe entreprises do give a shit about their employees. We must have faith in them they're the one getting the money. Harper does not exactly respect the House of Commons, but again, people gave him majority, they want politicians to stfu and act. Lets cross our fingers eh?

George had better given Jack his 20$ and a cold beer.

Jack was probably the only hope for Canada. Harper is a huge liar with no respect or responsibility, and Ignatieff was a traitor to all of Canada.
R.I.P Jack Layton.

"People told us we could never win in Quebec"
He was happy to have one a single seat in Quebec back then. Look how far he came in 4 years.
Wow. Way to go Jack. RIP.
