The one-year anniversary of Jack Layton’s passing has inspired numerous memorials and tributes, making it clear the late federal NDP leader inspired affection.

But given the public fondness for Layton, it’s important to parse his proposed ideas, precisely because plenty of people still advocate similar policy.

However, good intentions (and Layton had that in spades) do not necessarily lead to good outcomes. They are never enough to create a country with peace, prosperity, order and good government.
