All the flags at half mast in Dieppe Park, Windsor, Aug. 22, 2011. All the flags around town are flying at half mast today as we honour the passing of Jack Layton who died early today (Monday Aug. 22, 2011). Jack was the leader of the NDP (New Democratic Party) of Canada and in the last Federal election earlier this year had achieved something never before done by the NDP. They were elected to the place of official opposition party in the Government of Canada which made Jack the official opposition leader in the House of Commons. A position he had worked hard for all his life. He lost his battle with Cancer today. He will be missed and hard to replace. He was a man of the people. R.I.P Jack.
