As we remember the spirit of Jack Layton on the day of his funeral in Toronto and beyond, it is worth remembering how he started out in federal politics and his hopes for a progressive Canada.

Making the Links’ Don Kossick did this interview with Jack Layton in 2003, when he first took over the leadership of the NDP. The interview demonstrates Jack’s clarity of purpose, vision, and hope in fighting for a better Canada.
