First event of the last day of Jack Layton's campaign (insert reporter "Yeeha!" here).

First stop: Oshawa. A place we have already hit on this campaign once before and a riding of great significance for the NDP.

This was of course the riding of the former leader of the NDP, Ed Broadbent, who held the riding from 1968 to 1988.
It was, Broadbent reminded us, a Conservative minister's riding when he took it and it is held by the Conservatives again.

The NDP is hoping that it can come back to the party in this election.
