RIP Jack Layton

Loved him.

So did the crowd that came out to see him off.  Downtown was packed, all demographics, age, race creed colour everything.  And it was quite sad.

When people heard a commotion coming out the front doors here, they started running. Running! Speaks volumes.

So do all the chalk messages covering Nathan Phillips Square.

If you can, go. You’ve never seen anything like it. When was someone this universally loved in Canada? Nothing in recent memory pops up.

Here’s what I wrote.

RIP Jack, thank you for making Canada better, and I hope your heart is holding up okay Olivia.
