I was deeply saddened and shocked to hear the news of Jack Layton's passing yesterday. Jack was an inspirational and dynamic leader. Although I have every confidence in the NDP to rally and elect another strong leader to face off against Harper as the Official Opposition, finding someone of Jacks quality and caliber will be extremely difficult. Hearing Jack speak live on several occasions was always such an enjoyable experience. He was such an impassioned individual, you could not help but feel fired up and inspired yourself. Reading his 'letter to Canadians' which he wrote on August 20th, brought tears to my eyes. There is a gaping hole in Canada's political scene.
Rest in Peace and many thanks Jack.

and he said "always have a dream that is bigger than a lifetime" I think that is my favourite quote of all time.
