fajrdrakoThe Globe & Mail was delivered to our hotel room this morning.
The front pahe headline: His legacy
It says, in large print: "Jack Layton was the unshakable optimist. Canadians' reaction to his death this week sends a message to politicians everywhere: Voters want to be inspired.'

I want politicians who don't think "idealist" is an insult.
