Jack Layton's dream for the NDP

from rabble radio · host rabble.ca

On August 22, 2011, Jack Layton tragically died of cancer. His friends, family, and compatriots remember his courage. In his final words released in a letter penned two days before his death, he reminded us all of the values he held dear. He wrote, "My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world." Making the Links' Don Kossick did this interview with Jack Layton many years ago 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.
