Dipper Chick talks to Jack Layton

As promised, here is a video I made for all of you of Jack Layton's visit to Vancouver.

The video takes you through my journey towards getting some kind of interview with Layton. Very tough to do during an election campaign. But his tour, even though they have an effective RCMP detail, is still a strong contrast to Harper's bubble (Layton's press secretaries seem like way more fun than Harper's as well).

Anyways, enjoy my fine camera work and cheesy interviewing skillz.



Jack Layton had better believe that when this madness is over, and he is all settled into 24 Sussex, that I am coming for my exclusive.

Awesome show - good work at the end there, I'm impressed that you didn't lose your voice or start shaking when he talked to you.

Thanks Ian. Jack may look like a rock star, but he is very easy to talk to. I just wish I had been better prepared and had better questions for him. I didn't really know what to expect when I set out to film his visit.

Glad you like it.
