I'm sure the political junkies of RS will care, but for the rest of you, check out this link to the CBC with a news brief and a video of his press conference:

Jack Layton to take leave after new cancer found - British Columbia - CBC News (http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2011/07/25/layton-ndp.html)

He doesn't look nor sound like the same person just a few months ago on the campaign trail. I don't agree with his politics, but I wish him well in his recovery.

I hope he makes a full recovery...I don't agree with his political views, but I do admire his determination and he's a good person.

my thoughts exactly. If he was in any other party he would be PM by now.

He looks so frail and skinny.

Such sad news - I hope he makes a full recovery. Seems honest in his ways.

hes a good man and definitely believes in what he stands behind. whether or not his views are the same as mine are irrelevant. hes a good man and a good leader and a good politician. wish him the best of luck in his recovery.

you can bet tho, if he doesnt return, the NDPs run as official opposition will be a 1 term only deal. layton made that campaign a success.

He'd be PM by now if he was running as a Liberal or Conservative. He has the passion and charisma that we've been lacking for so many years.

Saw him on the news the other day; he's physically a completely different person

hope he pulls through


as for political leaders he's been my favourite of the three in recent years
