RIP Jack Layton
 

Jack Layton, leader of the Canadian federal New Democratic Party and Official Leader of the Opposition in Canada's House of Commons, passed away this morning after a battle with cancer. He was 61 years old.

Layton was known for his push for equality in our nation, in all forms, from English and French speaking people to be equal, all ethnic groups being equal and the LBGT community having equal rights.

He was one of the few politicians up here that I actually respected. He pushed through a lot of changes here in Canada.

RIP Mr. Layton, you will be missed. :(

Thanks TA, he was one of the few politicians up here in Canada that I actually respected. I don't care for the NDP myself but Mr. Layton promoted equality for all and that's what I liked about him. If he was the leader of the Conservatives or Liberals, heck anything but the NDP, he would have had my vote in our last federal election.

Thanks Buried.
