Journalist, author and activist Yves Engler talks about his recent announcement to run for Leader of Canada's NDP and what he's expecting to achieve from what is likely to be a contentious endeavor.
Will the NDP, notorious now for their mistreatment of activists, even allow Yves to run? What kind of barriers does he expect will be put in his way? How will he handle it?
What is the driving force behind Engler's run? What impact does he think he would have as the leader of a Party with only seven (7) seats? Yves answers all these questions and more with a candor we typically don't expect from politicians.
