I am happy to see such an outpouring of emotion on Facebook today. A lot of people are using his photos as profile pics, and quoting his last letter to Canadians in their status updates. He was a brave and good man. He will be greatly missed.
I’m late, I know, but I’m still saddened by the death of Mr. Layton. He did some wonderful things in his lifetime, and was one of the very few trustworthy politicians in my lifetime. It’s a great loss for us, and I hope that the NDP is able to continue to flourish thanks to his influence and despite his absence.
