Jack Layton

A couple of days ago, Canada learned that Jack Layton, the former leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP), has passed away from his battle with cancer.

Jack, you will sorely be missed. At least by me. You were definitely a fighter for the middle class. I just hope that your successor will be as effective as you...

I believe that you would have made an excellent Prime Minister. Unfortunately, short-sighted Ontarians did not believe in you and voted in a party who was found in contempt of parliament. Only in Canada can idiotic Ontarians vote in a party who was found in contempt and then live to tell the tale... (I think I already talked about that in a previous post, so I won't continue it here)

May you rest in peace, Mr. Layton. I also hope that your family will have their peace, quiet and positive energy in this difficult time.
