The morning after the celebration of Jack Layton‘s life, I’m hosting my celebration for him here, although I don’t think I could say it better than this chalked message on the sidewalk …
“The best Prime Minister Canada never had.”
You gotta love a man who will take a break in an exhausting campaign to sing Stan Rogers‘ songs with the Press …

… or that would warmly invite Rick Mercer into his home and casually make him the brunt of the joke (although to be clear, Rick your always welcome in my house for lunch too, just give me a heads up, so I can clean first ) …

Just as Jack’s life was celebrated at the State Celebration of Life with music, I thought I’d do the same here. Specifically with a little bit of Jack’s own music, humour and satire; and a reminder why Jack was a man that captured Canadian hearts with his integrity, honesty and humility. Jack is and will always be exactly the kind of leader Canadians need and can be proud of.

We shall miss you Jack!
