This morning an e-mail was waiting for me from my sister. "Terrible news about Jack Layton," it read. I'm so sorry."
I logged into the Globe and Mail to find out what she was talking about - and then I saw the news. Jack Layton Dies At Age 61 of Cancer.

We all knew he was ill because of the press conference he gave when he temporarily (or so we thought) handed over the leadership of the NDP to Nycole Turmel of the Quebec Caucus, but he'd promised he would return.
