Amen to that. Awesome letter, and very neat poster of it.
So sad - it seems that, for all one may argue about exactly how far to the left or the centre the NDP moved/should have moved, Layton was genuinely one of the good guys, and also a very effective politician. (A combination that is far too rare on the left).
Rest in Peace. Condolences to progressive Canucks in general.
