JACK LAYTON AT VANCOUVER'S LIBRARY SQUARE FRIDAY JUNE 17, 2011 PASSED AWAY MONDAY AUGUST 22, 2011

Monday, August 22, 2011 Jack Layton has passed away. Although he didn't have time to do an interview with me on June 17, 2011, he made sure I got his press secretary's information and apologized for his being rushed. Gracious and considerate, that is how I will always remember him. I have left the previous description of this video as a historical reference. RIP Jack Layton "Jack Layton announced today that he is battling a new form of cancer despite his prostate cancer treatment going well. Here's some footage I shot around about the same time he started to suffer from new symptoms. On Friday, June 17, 2011-two short days after this area was a riot zone-CUPW and their supporters held a rally at Library Square to encourage the Harper government to negotiate a contract settlement with the postal workers rather than legislate one. They didn't, but here are Jack Layton, Yvon Godin, Jim Sinclair, the BCGEU, the BC Federation of Labour, NDP."
