lightcastleJack Layton died this morning.
All my condolences to his family and friends, of course.
What this does to Canadian politics is difficult to say. No matter the power handed to Harper in the parliamentary system, Layton was a force to be reckoned with in having a strong opposing voice people would listen to. I don't know who the NDP can field to match that and fear the media will just drift away from listening to the NDP at all.
