On the night of the Canadian Elections this year, I wrote: "The interesting "wild card" was Jack Layton of Toronto who is leader of the NDP (New Democratic Party) who lead them to a historical first time Opposition Party."
(A loose translation of the sign behind Jack in the photo above is "Work Together" and that would be what promoted the NDP to "Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition"!)
Jack Layton died early this morning from prostate cancer. He will go down in the Canadian history books certainly as a person who never gave up. R.I.P. Jack Layton.
