The internet was a pretty heavy place today...
Jack Layton’s eternal optimism and dedication kept him fighting to the very end, which unfortunately came this morning at the age of 61. I had great admiration for the man; a man I didn’t even know. His actions spoke far greater than any words he (or any other politician) could ever give in speeches.
I’m not overtly political, but while Layton’s party may not share the same political views as you or I, it was obvious Layton loved this country and believed in making it a better place for everyone. His determination to do so saw him go from the underdog to the official opposition. He was dedicated to the cause despite his health, and his commitment to bettering this country is a true inspiration.
Reading the tributes and condolences from across the country on news and social media outlets, it’s obvious he had an effect. He wasn’t afraid to speak his mind and stand up for himself, his party or his country. He was the kind of politician you felt like you could have a beer with.
And he wore that moustache like a champ.
RIP
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 - Jack Layton
