Did Max Take down Taj Tandoori?

Full Story

By Garett Chisholme

It’s amazing how you analyze your life, and think of the past when someone you know passes away.

Monday morning, at around 8:45AM, Max and I learned that NDP Leader Jack Layton had lost his battle with cancer. Even though we knew he was sick, it still came as a shock, because I don’t think anyone thought it would happen this quickly. I was truly saddened.

It’s not fair to say I “knew” Jack Layton, but as a media personality, you are fortunate enough to meet some great people of power and influence, and interview them, which can be a fairly personable experience.

I first met and interviewed Jack Layton when I was a young broadcaster, cutting my teeth at Journalism school in London, Ontario. He had just been elected as the leader of the NDP. I was amazed at how passionate he was about socialism, and he truly believed that he was going to make a difference in Canadian politics.

Now, you have to remember that at this time, the Liberal party was still very popular pre-sponsorship scandal, and Jean Chretien was on his way out with a golden handshake. The Conservatives were getting set to merge with the Alliance Party, with no clear cut leader, and Alexa McDonough had just stepped down after two failed elections with the NDP.

Fast forward two years, I had just landed my first job as a reporter newscaster at Q92. The Liberals have just called an election, and I get an assignment on this cold January day at the Shania Twain Centre. Jack Layton was coming to town as part of his campaign. Once again, he believed the NDP were going to change Canadian Politics. Though it did not happen in that 2006 Election, Jack and his caucus remained a strong voice in the house.

Over the next few years, Jack would make trips up north to Timmins, taking in various events, including Ribfest. On that weekend, while I was at the gym, guess who came in for a work out? Jack Layton! Let’s be honest, Jack was never the incredible Hulk! But there he was gym clothes and sweat band, pushing weights, working hard, and finding time to chat with gym members. A classy move by a classy guy!

This May, Canadians were once again sent to the polls. The NDP has traditionally had a stronghold in parts of Canada, but this election was different. Canadians had started to trust Jack Layton. The honest hard working politician, who had battled prostate cancer, and gone right back to campaigning. The man who was not afraid to call out other party leaders, who was not afraid to hold others accountable. On election night, as the polls started coming in, I wasn’t surprised. I knew that Jack believed in the NDP and Canadians had started to believe in him.

As he delivered his speech to supporters after officially being elected as the official opposition party, was the same man who believed in the party back when he first took the reigns, when I had first interviewed him in my college days. I took satisfaction in recognizing that he was on his way to achieving his goal. To have Canadians believe in the NDP.

Whether you agree with his political views or not, you have to admire the work and passion of Jack Layton, a great Canadian.

You will be missed Jack, R.I.P.
