As someone who has been critical of Jack in the past, I still cannot help but feel sad at the loss of our new opposition leader….A man who did love this country so much.
Through many years he supported many causes;
As a six-term Toronto city councilor, he spearheaded innovative public projects such as Canada’s first municipally-sponsored AIDS strategy, which became a nationwide model.; The Healthy Cities model, adopted by the WHO; an urban wind turbine; and The White Ribbon Campaign of men speaking out against violence against women.
And there is something so wrong when someone passes away at such a young age.
Condolences to his family and all of his supporters and friends.
A blast from the past.
Jack Layton sings at the 2005 Gallery Dinner. You could always see his sense of humour coming through.
