On the other hand; when Harper dies, I believe we'll all be celebrating his loss by tossing pictures of his mug into a bonfire.
I agree. That's why I had always voted NDP. I'm not heavy into politics, so maybe I'm missing something, but on the surface, Jack Layton was for the people. While the Liberals and Conservatives were poking holes into each other in their ad campaigns, Layton was focused on how to improve the country. What I saw in Layton was a guy who actually cared about our country.
It'll be hard, in fact almost impossible, but I hope whoever the next NDP leader is will do Jack Layton proud, as hard as that may be.
