Today, all Canada mourns the passing of opposition leader, Jack Layton. Voted 'the politician most Canadians would want to have a beer with', smilin' Jack was what you'd call a leader poised ready to grapple with nowaday issues with tough old fashioned values -- a clear sense of right and wrong. I hope his party honours him and continues with his truths, his beliefs and his desire for a better and 'real' Canada.
~ Jack Layton 1950-1961
"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."
From
Jack Layton's letter to Canadians, dated August 20, 2011.
