Show detail Hide detail

This episode of Public Life, hosted by Michelle Lavoie, features NDP Leader Jack Layton. The episode begins by exploring Layton's family history in politics, and how this history has shaped his values, which include a commitment to the environment, to affordable housing, and to equality issues like gay rights. Layton explains that his parents and childhood also played an enormous role in shaping these values. Layton's childhood friend, Bert Markgraf, recalls that the Laytons were a church-going family, and made an effort to bring the youth of Hudson, Quebec, together. Layton himself was very involved as a youth, in activities ranging from competitive swimming to being president of the high school student council, and was seen by his classmates as someone who could become Prime Minister. The episode outlines Layton's political career in the NDP, which he first learned about as an undergrad. He won the NDP leadership in 2003, and is proud of his party's history. Layton's wife and fellow NDP politician, Olivia Chow, also appears in the program, to discuss their personal and political relationship. The episode ends with Jack Layton expressing his belief that the NDP is on a good path, and can become a growing influence while maintaining its integrity. He states that regardless of how long he stays in politics, he will serve the public in some capacity for as long as he is able. <58mn 30s>
