In order to best understand what happened to the NDP in the 2025 federal election, one has to learn about the decisions made under Jack Layton.
Who better to help us do this than historian and author of From Layton to Singh, Matt Fodor. This is a follow up to Matt's first appearance on the show where he explained in great detail how the team responsible for the Orange Crush deliberately and possibly permanently changed the course of the Party.
Hear why a leadership change just won't do and what Labour's role in all of this has been. It’s essential listening for anyone considering reforming the NDP, as is the rest of the Inside the NDP playlist.
