| Jack Layton diagnosed with cancer... again
I'm sure the political junkies of RS will care, but for the rest of you, check out this link to the CBC with a news brief and a video of his press conference: Jack Layton to take leave after new cancer found - British Columbia - CBC News
He doesn't look nor sound like the same person just a few months ago on the campaign trail. I don't agree with his politics, but I wish him well in his recovery.

He looks so frail and skinny.
Such sad news - I hope he makes a full recovery. Seems honest in his ways.

hes a good man and definitely believes in what he stands behind. whether or not his views are the same as mine are irrelevant. hes a good man and a good leader and a good politician. wish him the best of luck in his recovery.
you can bet tho, if he doesnt return, the NDPs run as official opposition will be a 1 term only deal. layton made that campaign a success.

He'd be PM by now if he was running as a Liberal or Conservative. He has the passion and charisma that we've been lacking for so many years.

Saw him on the news the other day; he's physically a completely different person
hope he pulls through
as for political leaders he's been my favourite of the three in recent years
