Jack Layton was a Great Canadian, one who will be sorely missed.
In an open letter to the Canadian people he waved his last farewell, reminding us that even in times of mourning, turmoil, war and depression "love is better than anger, hope is better than fear [and] optimism is better than despair." Let us honour the memory of him by being "loving, hopeful and optimistic" so that together "we’ll change the world."
Tonight we drink to Jack, a man who fought the good fight, only to be defeated by the bad.
