5072...Thoughts On St. Jack Layton And The Dips

Group think indicates that we are not supposed to say anything accurate about the man who accomplished nothing during his career.

My Facebook friend Dean Rivando thinks otherwise.  

Dean RivandoOne year since the death of Jack Layton, the man who killed the Liberal Early Learning and Child Care agreement with the provinces, an agreement that would have formed the basis of federal universal child care.
Quebec's experience with $7 a day child care proves that this is one of the most effective policy measures in reducing poverty. It allows people in one of the key groups at risk for long term poverty, single mothers and fathers, go to work. It reduces their dependence on the state.
The NDP hates the poor just as much as they hate the rich. Don't be fooled.
And Jack Layton was anything but a saint.

He left out the fact that Mr. Layton also killed the Kelowna Accord and lied by omission to the Canadian people during the last election.  On the plus side I know a guy who used to deliever takeout to Mr. Layton and the missus.  Helluva tipper I am told.
