Jack Layton 1950-2011
The news of Jack Layton’s death has left all of us in the Parry Sound-Muskoka NDP Riding Association deeply saddened.
Our hearts go out to Jack’s family right now. They are in our thoughts and our prayers.
Jack’s message of hope and optimism was a breath of fresh air in today’s climate of cynical politics. He worked tirelessly on behalf of all Canadians, steadfast in his belief that there is a better way to do politics, and that all Canadians deserve more from politicians and from government. This is a legacy that we will humbly aspire to honour.
Jack Layton was an inspiration, and his life is embodied by this quote from NDP icon Tommy Douglas; “Courage my friends, ‘tis not too late to build a better world.”
Signed,
The Executive of the Parry Sound-Muskoka NDP Riding Association
