Chow for mayor?
She’s no longer doing a Sherman: “…on Wednesday the Opposition transportation critic, former councillor and widow of former NDP leader Jack Layton acknowledged that Torontonians are begging her to run against the arch-conservative, gaffe-prone Ford. “I’m still very focused on representing folks in Trinity-Spadina and getting a national city agenda, so we could get more [...]
More on Layton and the NDP
Rabson’s more diplomatic than I was, and she makes a point I didn’t: the NDP isn’t entirely to blame for attempting to capitalize on Jack Layton’s passing. The media, says this media personage, is to blame, too. Either way, I haven’t changed my view: some within the NDP have shamelessly and cynically exploited that man’s [...]
In Sunday’s Sun: in Jack’s name
Jack Layton was a great fellow. He was kindly, he was successful, he had a keen mind. He was much loved by his supporters and much admired by his political adversaries. That much we know.

Layton, one year later
An NDP friend recently told me that his party has not attempted to take partisan advantage on Jack Layton’s name and legacy since his death. I told my friend that he is delusional. We made a bet.
