Watching the State Funeral for Jack Layton


Recommended Posts

Not watching the coverage (I never do) but I always admired Mr. Layton. I actually spoke with him at length on the phone btwn elections. Pretty surprised to simply be transferred right to him, rather than passed to a jr staff.

 

Nice man.

 

I laughed when he was voted the politician most Canadians would like to go for a beer with during the last election. Pretty accurate, I think.

A friend of mine has started a campaign to rename Yonge and Dundas Square to Jack Layton Square.

 

Here's an article at HuffingtonPost.ca, and the Facebook Group.

 

 

I'll check it out.

 

On a side note, I heard they'll be bathing the CN tower in orange light all night long. That would really be something special to see.

 

 

ETA: Okay, I just lost it at the last "O Canada."
