I know most people won't care, but he finished 2nd in the last election and was slowly becoming the favourite. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 You have to wonder how the NDP is going to do now without Layton. The guy was the heart and soul of that party and perhaps the most well respected politician in all of Canada. By all accounts he was a real stand up guy and he will definitely be missed. It really sucks that he lost his battle with cancer as he had already beat it once. It also really sucks that it comes only a few months after he experienced such success in the last election.

Universe Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Pretty crazy that he beat cancer once and was on pace to maybe become our future PM. Seemed like one heck of a dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
