I do not agree with all NDP policy, but I found Jack Layton's "last letter" very moving just the same. I also saw red last week when allegations surfaced that he had help drafting it. Of course he did, people! Mr. Layton was dying, and knew it. In that situation, it's NOT a crime to huddle with a couple of your strategists and your life partner, who know your heart, beliefs and writing style, and ask them to help you draft a final message.
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.
The above words close Mr. Layton's letter. I don't believe they were vainglorious, but heartfelt words that we should all try to live by, regardless of our ideological leanings.
