BNL endorse Jack Layton

By at 9:53 am Saturday, Sep 14

Barenaked Ladies have endorsed Jack Layton, an unapologetically left-wing politician, for the leadership of Canada's nominally social-democratic New Democratic Party. Getting Jack in the leadership of the NDP would be a major return to the party's roots, reversing its slide to the right over the last decade-plus.
Barenaked Ladies singer Steven Page said the band decided to endorse a candidate because "it was time to start getting involved. I'm getting very nervous about the upcoming face of Canadian politics and its drift to the right," he said.
