Why Ashton is running for NDP leader

Rob Ashton joins Steve to discuss his NDP leadership bid, why he thinks the NDP needs to return to its working-class roots, if the Conservative Party outflanked them, and what he offers as an NDP leader that the other candidates do not. 

They then discuss housing, the level of unionization in Canada, Carney’s speech in Davos, Canada’s foreign policy approach in Ukraine and the Middle East, and Ashton’s favourite PM in Canadian history.
