To me, Jack Layton was the most influential in politics because he made political issues that were difficult to fully understand, easier and more realistic. Jack layton is the reason why I agree with the NDP platform and helped me to understand political issues.
His letter to Canada was incredibly honest and touching because it was his chance to say exactly what he wanted and what he believed in, which is not something a political leader gets the chance to do. He explained how important the NDP was to him and how optimistic he was in the future of Canada. That shows how passionate he was in his career and what he has done as a political leader.
Something else in the letter that stood out to me was his view towards his death. I find it important for people to look at death with a positive outlook whether it is being grateful for the people and things they have done in their life, but also to be optimistic for whats to come without being there. He accepted that he was going to die, however he took his death as an opportunity to be truly grateful and appreciative for his life.
Political leaders like himself are not common in the world today and it is refreshing in a way to acknowledge his accomplishments. may he rest in peace and be remembered but also be a way to remember that change can happen
