He was leader of the New Democratic Party from 2003 to 2011, and previously sat on Toronto City Council, occasionally holding the title... of "Acting Mayor" or "Deputy Mayor" of Toronto during his tenure as city councillor. He was the Member of Parliament for Toronto—Danforth from 2004 until his death.Son of a Progressive Conservative cabinet minister, Layton was raised in Hudson, Quebec. He rose to prominence in Toronto municipal politics where he was one of the most prominent left-wing voices on city and Metropolitan Toronto councils, championing many progressive causes. In 1991, he ran for mayor, losing to June Rowlands. Returning to council he rose to become head of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. In 2003, he was elected leader of the federal NDP on the first ballot of the convention.Under his leadership, support for the NDP increased in each election. The party's popular vote almost doubled in the 2004 election, which gave the NDP the balance of power in Paul Martin's minority government more0 comments
Can someone educate me on Bernie Sanders? He seems interesting and someone else I may possibly vote for.
Hitler was a fascist that called himself a socialist.
@Muttl200 Bernie was deemed one of the 20 best mayors. He's currently in the Senate though. He stands for working families. He only accepts donations from trade unions and individuals (the maximum amount per person is I think $150). He's surging in the polls and is beating Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire.
@Pericles
You can be both Fascist and Socialist at the same time. Fascism is a political system and Socialism is an economic system.

I hate calling Bernie a socialist.
I think rather than this obvious attempt at slandering, the question conservatives should be asking themselves is - have I been completely misled about what a socialists is.
Surprised no one else voted Layton.
