Jack was a hard worker and a good Canadian and he will be missed, no matter your political stripes.<br /><br />It breaks my heart to think about the last election. He must have been ill during the whole thing, but carried on. It's sad to know he will not be here to reap the benefits of his hard work.Lauritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03688820247531607677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8260274117021957060.post-498361597519327702011-08-23T08:49:04.463-04:002011-08-23T08:49:04.463-04:00It's a very sad day for Canadian politics.

I hope that his message rings across party lines and brings all Canadians together, regardless of geographic and socio/economic differences.<br /><br />You're right Cathy...that final paragraph will stay in the minds of Canadians for a long time.Alan Dhttp://conversationsfromlandsedge.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8260274117021957060.post-53501018907373299592011-08-23T08:23:04.255-04:002011-08-23T08:23:04.255-04:00A sad day indeed.

My husband and I just looked at each other and shook our heads. The visual was so shocking.<br />He did a grand job for us in the time he had and now....it's time to go fishing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8260274117021957060.post-88774069681983928072011-08-23T08:14:48.661-04:002011-08-23T08:14:48.661-04:00Whether you agreed with everything Jack wanted or ...Whether you agreed with everything Jack wanted or not, there's no denying that he was a man of passion, and who genuinely cared for this country.<br /><br />In the last election, he proved that he was a man of character by being the only candidate to campaign on a positive message - that all Canadians matter, equally. <br /><br />I can't say anything better than many of the eulogies that have already been put out there, but I can definitely say that Canada will miss Jack Layton, and the work he was doing to make our country great and noble.Chris Alliniottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04094925215735680849noreply@blogger.com
