Random Thoughts: Safe Journey Jack

The loss of Jack Layton to cancer this week deeply saddens me for various reasons, and I’m infuriated by anyone losing their battle against this terrible disease. While I didn’t agree with many of Mr. Layton’s ideas and concepts about the workings of the Government, I respect his unwavering dedication to his job and constituents. Some people refer to him as The Best Prime Minister Canada Never Had, but I disagree with that. In my opinion, Jack Layton is the Best Leader of the Official Opposition Canada Never Had, as he passed away before he could fulfill his role completely.

Good night, sweet Prince. Your journey is over. Hopefully, your minions will fill your shoes and continue acting as the nation’s conscience. Please read his final letter which has some very poignant sections for those suffering from Cancer and their families.

Whole lot of shaking going on in the U.S., with earthquakes and now a hurricane bearing down on the East Coast, so Mother Nature is again reminding us that no matter how bad you think the economic world can get, she can make our lives infinitely more exciting if she so chooses. Do you have Hurricane and/or Earthquake insurance? Might want to think about it soon, by the looks of it.


With all the shaking and political news I did manage to stay relatively on topic with my posts:

I enjoy all comments (even the ones that question my intelligence), and will try to respond to most comments, so please feel free to comment away. For you spammers who continue to inundate me with your drivel, keep it up as well.

With all the shaking, winds and fun and games in the Political world down south (and HP cancelling their tablet computer as well) there were some exciting ideas put forward by some of my favourite writers:

Have One For Me too Jack

Remember

“To other Canadians who are on journeys to defeat Cancer and to live their lives, I say this: please don’t be discouraged that my journey hasn’t gone as well as I had hoped.”

Author: Jack Layton eloquent even in the face of his own mortality.
