Layton's dream for the NDP in 2003

| August 27, 2011

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.

Thanks to: Making the Links Radio can also be heard on on CFCR community radio at 90.5 FM in Saskatoon, on the Sasktel Max provincial cable network at channel 520, and streaming on the internet. Making the Links broadcasts on CFCR at 6 pm on Wednesdays and 7 pm on Fridays.

Listen to the 2003 interview with Jack Layton here.
