Requiescat in Pacem, Jack Layton

When I heard the news this morning interrupting The Current whilst sitting at my day-job desk, I wept. No screaming, but I wept. Layton was one of our best, and we lost him too soon.

He left the rest of us a challenge to rise to, though, as others here and elsewhere have already noted. If you haven't already read it, go and take a look. I'll still be here when you get back.
