Jack Layton, Canada's official opposition leader, died of cancer this morning at 61.
This makes me sad, as he was an educated and decent guy regardless of his political views. -------- Enemy corps raided into disbandment: Three.

As a member of the Federal NDP, this news shocked and saddened me this morning.
RIP Jack. I'll have to grow a trustache in your honour. |

He was one of those rare politicians who still managed to be a truly nice and genuine guy, and wasn't just acting the part. He will be missed.
Be careful how we discuss politics, though. It's ok until you say something the current mod disagrees with. I notice most lean to the right, so we must tread carefully here. |

I sway ever so gently to the right, too. (in Canadian and not American terms)
Honestly, I really hope that this thread doesn't derail into a political debate. Keep it civil and honorable, everyone. |

Yeah, thats what I miss most about GW Bush. Just an all around classy guy, not petty. People who met him couldn't help but to like him. Didn't spend his time pointing fingers or laying blame. Seems like we get a steady diet of that from the top, these days.

There's a letter going around which is supposedly something he wrote on his deathbed, but i can't find anything to confirm it's authentic yet, so i'll hold off on posting it.

Never agreed with one of his policy proposals, not even close but I always liked Jack. RIP
Also, the letter is legit.

Here is a .pdf of the letter, which is legit, for those who are interested.
As sappy as it sounds, I literally cried when I heard the news this morning.
One of the greatest Canadians of our time. Sarcasm - Because i'm too far away to strangle you. |
