Mad respect for this champion of a leader!
Mayor #Mamdani is a international inspiration & example of ethical leadership, reminiscent of the Canadian legend of a politician, #JackLayton.

🧵#Toronto. Garland Sheppard froze to death in 1997. @cityoftoronto.bsky.social had not opened warming centres. Activists and city councillor #jacklayton fought to change that.

Other than #JackLayton I can’t think of another opposition leader in Canada’s political history who made such an imprint on the national consciousness as #StephenLewis.

Since then the city continued to operate #warmingcentres albeit inadequately. I thought of #jacklayton with appreciation today on my way to #toronto islands.

Many folks want the next Jack Layton, but Jack's predecessor brought the NDP back ⚠️
Alexa McDonough rebuilt this party with her leadership ❤️🩹

@judreb.bsky.social thinks the @NDP.ca lost its way when it was “professionalized” under the leadership of her friend #JackLayton. She argues it lost touch w/social movements. I spoke w/ one of the icons of Canada’s Left on my @ricochetmedia.bsky.social podcast. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/i...

Until August of 2011, the leader of the federal NDP was #JackLayton and he was a national hero. He died, at that time, from cancer.
I’m pretty sure that everyone loved Jack…he was just *that guy*. And, today, a lot of NDP supporters voted Liberal for the first time.

Was thinking about #JackLayton just an hour ago. He was the only #NDP vote I've ever cast. Such a legend of a leader & human! Respect!
Happy #elections eve my fellow #Canadians! May we end up with a leader as inspiring as Jack Layton was! Please vote wisely.

On my last night as MP, I thank Jack Layton for inspiring me to run for public office.
Jack made me believe it was possible to do politics with integrity. He loved our country and he loved people.
He said politics was about getting your hands dirty and taking chances to make life better for people

14 years since my friend #JackLayton passed. Jack came down for my by-election in 2002, where we beat the odds. Like Jack, I am the optimist and the #NDP can return, for years we built “Never let them tell you it can’t be done.” JL

🗣Jack Layton was a great man if he were here today, he would want every Canadian🇨🇦 to stand up for the #CanadianCharter & raise our voices for Canada🇨🇦.

I find myself thinking of Jack Layton today. I was just a young first time voter when he passed, always thought he'd make it to prime minister.
I think he would have been a great voice during these times.
I will always wonder what could have been 🙁

#TBT that means throwback Thursday.
#toronto Tent City 1999-2002
By the end of that era there were over 50 shacks/prefab/houses no tents. Close to 140 people. All housed after eviction due to political action.

Like #Denmark. #DemocraticSocialism IS HEALTHCARE, HOUSING, EDUCATION, tackling homelessness. Its time we grew up and remember that #EdBroadbent was a democratic socialist. And #JackLayton was an amazing #NDP leader who would have expanded social democracy. Its how we get back our advantage. #abpoli
