Many notable people died this year, but none touched us cats as much as the death of Jack Layton, head of Canada's social democratic party. He led the NDP to official opposition status right before cancer claimed him at the early age of 61 — an incredible achievement.
We're certain his electoral victory was due not just to the cane he carried but to the smile he constantly beamed. It's as if he knew the legacy he'd leave would benefit generations to come.
Progressive people of all the countries of the world can take inspiration from the life and legacy of Jack Layton.
