I can't believe the whitewashing and free ride a certain Jack Layton is getting just because he died.
Yes it is sad that he died in such a nasty way, cancer is horrible and I have no wish to see it again.
Yes he was only 61 and when your over thirty one realizes that 61 is indeed not a very long life.
Yes he was a husband and father and I am sure that his wife will miss him and his children will too.
All these things are true, but what else is true is he was a politician, his snout has been in the trough since he drew his first paycheck and it stayed there all his life.
He and his wife lived in subsidized housing in Toronto while they were both making good salaries as city counselors. They made a big deal about being one of the only families that "paid going rate" but come on they paid nothing near Toronto rates.
The Man was an NDP, not that all politicians aren't basically the same, the NDP have spectacular ability to think they have the right to impose their ideals, lifestyle and tax style on us the wee sheeple.
The man was a horrible hypocrite and liar ( I know I already said he was a politician) or one of the stupidest creatures alive. How can one not know that the Massage parlor, (the "Velvet Touch Massage Parlor") they frequent and receive shiatsu treatment from diminutive Chinese immigrant women ,who speak very little broken English, in a bed and not on a massage table, isn't a medical facility but a whore house. It stretches credibility too far to believe it when he said "I didn't know".
He vowed to do away with every dirty rotten stinking private Health care facility in Canada, even if he did go to one himself for surgery. "I didn't know".
What he "didn't know" was plenty.
He was a man, he died, he is still the same man, good, bad, indifferent regardless of the cancer, regardless of death, it doesn't whitewash him nor should it...
I can live with the fact that I am not always NICE, nice will get you a kick in the head and used like an old piece of tissue.
I know we Canadians are just so bloody polite, polite has it's place for sure, but truth should always supersede manufactured sentiment.

It's the same whitewashing and bullpoopie the gangstas get after they are killed in some horrible "live by the drugs and guns, die by the drugs and guns" way.
Oh noes! Kanada will never survive without the Wunnerful Layton...who's chioce to take over for him when he took his leave of absence was a known Seperatist. *rolls eyes*
Thanks for a refreshing, non-Layton-ass-kissing post. ;)
Good morning WolfSong,
You are very welcome I can't imagine how MSM believes that we ALL can suspend the reality of the man and replace it with the " courageous selfless warrior" meme they are touting , no matter how fun he was to have a beer with.
