New Democratic Party (NDP) leader Jack Layton is a Barack Obama groupie.
With Prime Minister Stephen Harper preparing to call an election, Smilin’ Jack arrived in Denver yesterday.
When Obama accepts his nomination in his Ancient Greek Temple setting tonight, Layton will be waving a blue and white placard with Obama’s name.
“Democrats here are talking about the same kind of change we’re talking about in Canada,” said Layton. “Whether it’s real action on climate change, forging trade policies that work for working families or standing up for jobs and better health care, there’s a real desire here to put the concerns of the kitchen table ahead of the boardroom table.”
