Jack Layton – July 18, 1950 – August 22, 2011 Posted on August 22, 2011December 1, 2014by Peter Kraiker Canada has lost a great man today. My thoughts go out to his family. “My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.” Jack Layton, Aug 20, 2011 Illustration by Anthony Jenkins
