New Democratic Party leader Jack Layton passed away today after a hard battle with cancer… it’s probably the hardest blow to the federal level and especially to the flourishing NDP party, who had just gained official opposition status early this year.
I haven’t agreed with many of his policies and viewpoints, but I found that Mr. Layton had always brought a bit of showmanship and charisma to Canadian politics that has rarely been seen these days from other public figures. Not to mention that he always came off as a really nice guy that you’d want to have a drink or two with. There was only one Jack Layton and he shall be missed.

And if you’re going to comment, I’d appreciate it if you can please keep it civil. Thanks.
