Many other Canadians on the board like I am would already know by now, the sad news of Layton's death.
It's a sad day for Canada, as he's a remarkable man who's been defined by his tireless struggle for the lesser brackets, his commitment and motivations for his party, and what he believes in, as well as his battle against cancer. He's also given a lot of warmth and inspired many people mainly by his optimism, smiles, and remain very active in staying with the public despite his cancer. This was something which also influenced me and caught my attention.
This is the first time I actually liked, or ever appreciated a politician of Canadian domestic affairs.(I've mentioned before that I'm not interested in domestic politics) His struggles were for a good cause, although too bad we never get to see him as PM and what he'd have done. I considered voting for Layton for the past 2 elections, although I didn't because I wasn't too familiar with NDP and their stuff.
Anyways, RIP. I'm sure he'll be remembered by many.
