I was saddened to hear the news of Jack Layton's passing this morning.
I have never voted for the NDP. Stuff like this always scared me off.
That being said, he always came across as well-spoken, polite, intelligent and genuine. Sometimes humorous.
Most importantly, he seemed trustworthy, and knew his role as a Member of Parliament as being there for citizens. Never once did I feel he was there to coddle the balls of big business...or big oil (*cough* Harper *cough*).
This is a loss for all Canadians, no matter what their political stripe.
Jack Layton made Canada better.
This one's for you, Jack. Rest in peace.
