Rest in Peace Jack

I woke up this morning to the news that Jack Layton had lost his battle with Cancer. Jack was a great Canadian, and a great humanitarian. He had a strong sense of justice and a will to fight for people who did not or could not fight for themselves. As I watched the CBC special this morning on Jack I was touched by the tributes from all for Jack. Our thoughts go out to Jack's family and our hope is that they can find peace in this terrible time for them.

Cancer is a terrible disease and it takes too many Canadians in the prime of life. My hope is that one day soon those involved in the battle to fight Cancer will win the battle.

Jack Layton Rest in Peace, your legacy will live on in all of those who fight for social justice.

From Creative Revolution a great A blast from the past.blast from the past. Jack Layton sings at the 2005 Gallery Dinner. You could always see his sense of humour coming through.
