Jack Layton died

That's very sad; he was a political role model for so many in Canada.

With all due respect to Mr Layton, what did he do for anyone outside radical Toronto?

Mr Layton lived on the dole his entire life.

Karl Marx is not something to celebrate.

Either was Mr Layton.

This may be harsh, but my taxes paid for everything he did his whole life.

I'm not a fan of Layton's political positions, but he was elected through the democratic process. And federally, he never achieved power to implement his policies save for a brief moment in 2005 when he voted to support the Paul Martin government in the motion of no confidence.

Your criticisms of Harper (who I voted for) could be applied in the same manner: "What did he do for anyone besides big business?". Harper also made most of his money through government taxes.

Big Business VS the humanistic side is the yin-yang of politics, for good or bad. He was a very effective public speaker, and certainly the 2011 NDP breakthrough was his legacy and moment of greatness. Perhaps sensing that the end of his life was near during that campaign, gave it his all.

You're right. I voted voted for Harper before as well, although not the last election.

HARPER IS A TYRANT.

He has done nothing for individual rights in this country.

We have NO FREE SPEECH, NO SELF DEFENSE, TAXPAYER FUNDED STATE PROPAGANDA AND TAXPAYER FUNDED ABORTION.


Harper is supposed to protect OUR UNALIENABLE RIGHTS.

NATURAL LAW IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE.

Harper is A TYRANT and should be IN JAIL.

Layton was the name on the ballot, based on who his party wanted.

Canadians had NO CHOICE who to vote for.

HARPER WAS GIVEN TO US BY THE PARTY, not by the people.

Canadians are so brainwashed that they really beleive that not only are they FREE, but they actually get to make a difference in the political picture.

What a joke.

Every election is to verify and authenticate the present "social order".

That's all it is.

Canadians HAVE NO REDRESS about any issue.

Sometimes the truth hurts Rayburn. Sorry bud.

I'm not a product of some hardcore left wing University in Canada.


I actually think for myself.

Anonymous you sound like the radical in this thread. Show a bit of integrity instead of your ignorance.

I said I hope he R.I.P.

But his ideology is responsible for misery, suffering, intolerance, death, bigotry, and all other social ills we see today.

Jack wanted to live a CAPITALISTIC lifestyle, so he did it the easy way and became a member of government.

Jack Layton never did anything for anyone outside his radical riding.

Taking care of special interest groups while raping people's pockets isn't something to be proud of.

Without using Alinsky style arrogance against me, try to write down what Layton did that deserves so much respect.
