Jack Layton NDP Leader

Updated Aug 22 - very sad to report that Jack Layton has passed away. This image remains as my tribute to this great man and politician.

(Canadians are shocked and saddened to learn that Jack Layton the leader of the NDP party and official opposition has succumbed to cancer -FOR A SECOND TIME. He is a politician of the common folk and and a fighter for the underdog.
I was privileged to see him and take this image displaying his spirited disgust at the recent hockey rioters in Vancouver. Fight the demon Mr. Layton!)
