And I'm feeling deeply saddened today since Jack Layton passed away this morning.
Canada not only lost a truly great politician, we lost a great Canadian. His life was dedicated to changing the political landscape of Canada - something he managed to do this past election when he became leader of the opposition. No small feat in a country that has had the same two parties in power since practically forever.
I didn't always agree with his politics (although in theory I mostly did - and volunteered in some federal campaigns) but I admired his dedication, commitment, intelligence and his love of our country. Mr. Layton, you will be missed.
My friends, love is better than anger.
Hope is better than fear.
Optimism is better than despair.
So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic.
And we’ll change the world.
All my very best,
Jack Layton

It's a sad loss for Canadians...no matter where you stand on the political spectrum, you couldn't help but admire Jack Layton's passion, determination & Canadian pride.
ReplyDeleteI was so hoping he would beat cancer, and it was sad to hear the news yesterday. Although I didn't always agree with his politics, I liked the fact that he was a voice for people who didn't have one.
