While this site is getting a new start, Canada has lost a great man. Jack Layton died today. At first I wasn't sure what I felt about this. I think I was originally just in shock. He was going to be the man to turn the country around. For the first time in a long time, we had someone fighting for the little guy on Parliament Hill. We had a solid opposition to keep the gov't in check. Speculating what will happen to the party or the country at a time like this seems cold. But they're hard facts that weigh on more than just my mind I'm sure.
My deepest condolensces go out to his family. Losing a loved one is a tragedy that when faced, is the most horrid thing one can imagine. Jack was 61, had beaten cancer once, and had led his party to the number 2 spot in Canada. He dedicated his life to bettering Canada, and Canadian's lives.
R.I.P Jack
