We'll miss you, Mr. Layton


I’m reading Jack Layton’s final words and experiencing a strong reaction towards his powerful last words. Human compassion seems to be rare these days, especially in terms of politics - he will be sorely missed. 

“My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.”

I think we should stop for at least a few minutes and think of the courage it takes to be so selfless at the bitter end.

Time to rise up Canada,
