I'm proud as a Canadian to have Lived in the time were this man stood up and said what was right, i really wish he could have been Our Prime Minister at least before he past away, and Canada has lost a great leader a man that no-one could ever replace , RIP Jack Layton and i hope that your Legacy will be carried on be the next NDP leader.
Jack Layton was a great leader and a very great man. The NDP were very lucky to have a man like him. He proved that he was a fighter and worked really hard to get where the NDP are at today. Jack Layton, we will never forget you and for your famous motto "Let's not stop until the job is done!"
@oshory I too am apposed to the state, but I don't see an anarchist revolution happening anytime soon. So for now, I'm going to appreciate politicians who actually try to better the country for working and middle class people instead of sucking up to corporate interests.
@Dezzreck This is my observation: Atheists deny the father in heaven just to worship big brother in government. Why? My theory: People are inclined to feel subservient to a higher power for security and peace of mind. Just my thoughts...
@oshory Oh sorry, I thought you were a legitimate anarchist, but you're just a right wing libertarian christian who probably loves ron paul. Here's a newsflash, church and state are seperate, and assuming that all atheists are left wing is ridiculous. I know plenty of racist and greedy atheists.
@Dezzreck Whats wrong with Ron Paul? Oh I know, he is a *gasp* christian. He doesn't accept evolution. OH NO. He doesn't like abortion. YIKES... If you knew anything about Dr. Paul you would know that he wouldn't ban abortion, wouldn't ban teaching evolution or stem cells, and he only talks about his religion when asked. He would audit the FED however. He thinks the president should have as little power as possible and I agree. If RP wants to end the wall of separation that is new to me. Proof?
@ScientificExploits nah man.. im not talkin about military strength lol.. that dont matter. Im talking about economically. Already, Canadians have MUCH better lives and are richer and are cared for more than Americans because of the nations they live in.. Im just saying, you guys are REALLY falling
Jack Layton was a personal inspiration and the reason I became passionate about politics. There was no better voice of the voiceless, I remember him as the only politician that connected with young Canadians across every university campus, putting our future into the debate when nobody else would. I am honoured to have had the chance to stand by his side and actively support his final run to the greatest victory in NDP history.

Well I was here for the science, but now that I know this channel will also be about pushing that BS known as progressive politics, I'm unsubscribing.
@andrewclunn I fail to see how honouring a dead politician qualifies as "pushing...progressive politics". Especially considering I worked very hard to ensure this video was entirely non-partisan (do you see his party's logo anywhere?). He was a great man, regardless of his politics. I would give the same treatment to a right-wing politician who met a similar fate.
@callumCGLP: Good job on your video I agree, that this would not be deemed partisan by any true measure ! He was a great Canadian and above all held public office which requires the uttermost respect. Great work!
That's not what progressive as a political philosophy means. Let's not get into a political discussion here. I commented without watching the video all the way through, and as a result made a mistake about its context. I've apologized. Let's leave it at that.

"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 turned 18 a few months ago and had the privilege to vote for him and his party in the last elections...and I will do it again when the time will come, and again, and again. Jack Layton's ideals will one day become reality. I just can't wait.
It was really amazing what his party was able to accomplish in the last election, and I feel that it was all because of him. People believed in him. What a hard hit for the NDP.
@macmac1249 Dude, you have an even more awesome guy in America and his name is Ron Paul. The problem with Social democrats, at least here in Sweden, is that they sound very caring and hearty but their politics is on a very unstable moral ground. The whole Social Democratic system is built on coercion and violence and when you start to think about it becomes very upsetting. /watch?v=PGMQZEIXBMs&
How can you say Social Democracy is built on violence for something every government would do (although civilized countries would resort to peaceful means first, and try to avoid violence in the arrest). Also how is Ron Paul so different and "awesome", I like how he is more anti war than most of their politicians, but he doesn't want gun control, and wants tougher borders, how is that non-violent.
@893160007 Government per se is violence. A government would do lots of hearty and lovely stuff but first it needs to get the money to do so, and that is accomplished through taxes. Taxes ain't voluntary, it's robbery. You can choose not to buy an Iphone but you can't choose not to pay taxes. If you do the government or the state will use violence against you. And gun control is a violent thing, restricting your freedom to protect yourself and making you dependent on the state for protection.
In democratic societies people decide to have taxes, and if you don't like it than move to a country with less, but enjoy not having the money to afford health care, and having no cops to protect society from crime. Gun control is not violent, it discourages violence by making it harder for criminals to get weapons, and giving police information on where weapons are
