A Jack Layton Tribute: The Great Man I Hardly Knew

     


For years I heard his voice, but I never listened to what he had to say. I saw his face, and I took his infectious smile for granted. Since I was a young girl I watched this very spirited man bare his soul and  make case for a better choice between the two tired, LYING, and devious Conservative  and Liberal parties.  I always thought he was phony, but then again, I wasn't really listening to what he had to say during those economic times.

    Now, as an older, somewhat mature, young woman and college graduate, I can no longer ignore the Canadian political circus that dictates the law in this country, and for the first time this year I actually took the time finally really listen to Jack Layton and his platform, unfortunately it would be for the last time.
