The flag at half-mast in Montreal for Jack Layton.
I'm not much for politics, but Jack Layton would have my vote any day of the week. He seemed like a stand-up guy with never-ending optimism, a kind smile and a good heart.
"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."
-Jack Layton (July 18, 1950 – August 22, 2011)
