Always sad to see someone pass on too soon.<br /><br />I do agree with you on this one Mistress, yesterday Canada did everything short of anoint Jack a saint. <br /><br />What particularly bothered me yesterday was the (I'll emphasize small) small percentage of left wing supporters who seized the opportunity to take political pot shots in the wake of Layton's passing.<br /><br />Of particular are the usual biased writers who wrote fear mongering posts about the rampant terror that Harper will be about to go on, and surprisingly even respected journalists joking that members of the right are, "cackling and laughing about this today".<br /><br />Sadly, Jack's parting words didn't register with these people like it did with the rest of the country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319042645944598014.post-47847838066100510982011-08-23T10:07:07.511-06:002011-08-23T10:07:07.511-06:00What got me about this the most was that it was th...What got me about this the most was that it was the top story and even on some news media the only story. I listen to Newstalk650 most of the time while at work but really a hole day of commentary and interviews with people that supposedly "knew" him. I was so fed up with it I refused to watch the TV news at its starting point and decided to wait until 1/2 way thru that way I wouldn't need to hear the same thing for the 100th time. And since when is something that happens first thing in the morning still "breaking" news at mid day. I agree those that had a person relationship with the individual should mourn the loss of someone they knew well but does all of Canada need to be devastated I don't think so. Mistress you are right on the money many people die at young age my brother-in-law was only 40 (cancer) and his death had far more repercussions (a wife and two young children) then the loss of Mr. Layton at the age of 60.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
