POSTED RESPONSE TO AN EDITORIAL IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL
Jack Layton's genuine legacy is as Canada's last honest
national politician.
He spoke to truth, virtually the opposite to the practices
of the man now serving as prime minister.
And when you add his innate sense of humanity and decency,
it is easy to understand why so many miss him.
He is likely the last of his kind.
I'm sorry to say Canada's politics have decayed so badly,
coming to resemble increasingly the sad dumb show to the South, there is no
more room for a Clark, a Stanfield, a Pearson, or a Layton.
