But it doesn't mean I don't vote orange. I come from a long line of CCF/NDPers and I seriously doubt that will ever change. <br /><br />Jack was definitely different in style but as down to earth as many of the other leaders. It is just so sad that he had so much work yet to do. <br /><br />I'm not quite sure who is going to become the leader. I can't think of anyone out there who would be the right fit. But people thought the same thing before Jack became leader and look how that turned out. My dad knew him and when he first met him years ago through FCM, pre-federal politics days, my dad knew that there was something special about him and that he might just be a great fit for federal leader. And my dad was right. We've started discussing this in my family and I'm sure we'll have a few more discussions next week when I'm back home for work.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17093204761214089741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7678643247610271411.post-66684609786424642592011-08-23T07:48:39.484-07:002011-08-23T07:48:39.484-07:00He deserves nothing less than a state funeral. wh...He deserves nothing less than a state funeral. what a remarkable man. Although he looked very will ill and frail in his last press conference, I truly thought he would beat his cancer. With such an indomitable spirit, how could he not? I was shocked and devastated by the news of his passing. I really hope the NDP can keep Jack's spirit alive in the party and maintain up the momentum he started.<br /><br />Thanks for this post.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101535107377688458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7678643247610271411.post-33165315588158369052011-08-23T04:25:38.343-07:002011-08-23T04:25:38.343-07:00Great post...such a heartbreak to lose such a stro...Great post...such a heartbreak to lose such a strong passionate leader.<br /><br />Good luck today.Tiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17511522028218347560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7678643247610271411.post-79745459868629089032011-08-22T19:35:43.281-07:002011-08-22T19:35:43.281-07:00I absolutely agree with everything you've said...I absolutely agree with everything you've said. I don't think that I've ever been this sad about the death of someone that I don't know. His death has left a huge hole in the face of Canadian politics. I hope that the party can keep his legacy alive and continue to make strides as he would have wanted. I have to say that I am impressed with Harper for his offer of a state funeral and I don't normally say that I'm impressed with harper either :)peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864584121635753142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7678643247610271411.post-29180463512733793602011-08-22T18:52:24.130-07:002011-08-22T18:52:24.130-07:00I agree, a very sad moment, he was a great leader ...I agree, a very sad moment, he was a great leader and I hope that the NDP can maintain the momentum he brought to them, and keep with his ideals. It is hard to imagine anyone else being able to do the job he started as opposition leader, I hope that whoever ultimatly replaces him as head of the NDP is able to stand up to the current party in power. <br />and I'm hoping your ultrasound tomorrow is wonderful, enjoy the sneak peek!Heather Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05507663188778402321noreply@blogger.com
