Kool_Kat Posted August 22, 2011 This is so devastating! I really liked Jack Layton...He was the only NDP leader that I could honestly say was a person of substance! Glad to have witnessed the progress he made for his party last election... Oh well, life goes on... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faheema. Posted August 22, 2011 Seriously Aaliyah? Odaygan halgamay baa sidaa uga naxday? Spare a little thought for the thousands of children dying of malnutrition each day walal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kool_Kat Posted August 22, 2011 Faheema, I'm pretty sure Aaliyah feels for her dying people each day, but as a Canadian, Layton's death is worthy of mention whether it's here or elsewhere...Ilaahayna dadkeena ha'u fududeeyo... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faheema. Posted August 22, 2011 KoolKat, I don't think he's worth mentioning, but that's just my opinion. Aaliyah, my point was merely to remind you to put things in perspective Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kool_Kat Posted August 22, 2011 “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.” Jack Layton I just finished reading the two page letter (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-notebook/laytons-last-words-love-is-better-than-anger-hope-is-better-than-fear/article2137381/) he wrote two days before his death, I couldn't hold back ilinta...RIP!

Baarqab Qooqay Posted August 22, 2011 what the hell who is Jack Layton!!!? we see on television and newspapers, how Somalia are suffering and how many children die every hour, and you're talking about jack :mad: it's very bad timing, but xalimoz is always xalimo shame.

ElPunto Posted August 22, 2011 War dadkaan wa yaab. It is possible to walk and chew gum. Simply commenting on this man's death doesn't mean starving Somalis are being ignored. Jack Layton was a force for good in Canada. He will be missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grasshopper Posted August 22, 2011 Very sad news. He definitely was a force for good in Canada, truly a GREAT man. Jack Layton 1950-2011 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you look at the forum, there are many active topics that have nothing to do with Somalia's famine. This news item deserves to be discussed because it is important to Canadians on this forum. Jack Layton was a good friend of the Somali community and his passing is significant in Canada's political landscape. Let us respect one another and let Somali Canadians on the forum discuss topics that are newsworthy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
