According to C.B.C. radio news Jack Layton is dead. I think respect for Jack crosses all party lines!

Wow, that was very fast. Well kudos to Jack for taking his party to official opposition status. May his family use the good times to charter the difficult times ahead.

Jack Layton's politics and tactics have enraged me at times, but strangely, I am actually quite saddened by this news.

RIP Jack.

He looked like he was near the end when he announced this cancer. It doesn't surprise me that he went this fast, but it's sad to hear about his passing.

More important is the fact he believed in it. "Sick" is a little strong, "idealistic" would be more reasonable. :smile:

I was just looking at his profile on Wikipedia and it has his religion listed as Christian, which I find very surprising. I thought for sure it was going to say the other thing... I hope it's true. :)
