Canadians of every political stripe continue to show their love and admiration for a national leader, Jack Layton, days after his death.
Layton, the leader of the opposition New Democratic party, passed away four days ago from cancer.
He became known as Smilin’ Jack, a hard worker in Parliament, a real ‘people person’, and that rarest of rare, an honest politician. But it was his final public act that has everyone talking.
Just before he died, he wrote a letter to the Canadian people expressing his hopes for the future and showing optimism even in face of death. His last words have resonated throughout the nation.
