’Taking back ownership’

Jack Layton spoke today to the Rotary Club in Toronto to sketch out his economic vision.

If I have one message to convey today, it is this: It’s time to lead, not retreat. If we want the kind of recovery that comes with jobs and lasting benefits, we need some national leadership ... If Ottawa can channel these aspirations, we’ll see more Canadians taking back ownership of their federal government not just voting, but actively making it a tool to build a better world.
