Nat & Marie: Jack Layton's Final Words Go Global

Going global is no easy feat, even for a much-loved Canadian politician who passed away before attaining his goal of being prime minister. Yet Jack Layton became a trending topic as droves of international mourners took to social networks to tweet, blog, document and create art all in his memory.

Cameron Fenton: Thanks Jack

My fondest memory of Jack Layton was back in December 2009. I had just been arrested inside the House of Commons for occupying a meeting of the House Environment Committee. As we were escorted from the hill, we walked past the late NDP leader who snuck us a thumbs up and mouthed "thanks."

Andrea Paine: One Last Gift, a Tribute to Jack Layton

When I heard of the news of Jack Layton's passing early this morning, I felt let down. As cancer survivors, we are part of one big family and losing a member of this family is a painful and sad reminder that some of us heal and others just don't. News like this always seems to hit close to home.

Keith Beardsley: Remembering Jack Layton

Canadians from coast to coast could admire Jack Layton's attempts to turn down the volume in the House of Commons and we were encouraged by his efforts to get the various parties working together. We admired his discipline and courage during the campaign as he waved his walking stick in the face of his pain

Tommy Douglas would have been very proud of how you represented yourself and the NDP party. Rest in peace Jack and thank you for your service. You will be missed but not forgotten.

From an American who loves Canada, my sincere sympathies to all of Mr. Layton's followers for the loss of this very fine gentleman. You were blessed to have an advocate for social progress that was so secure in his beliefs, so comfortable in his own skin that he could take part in this kind of interview with patience and charm and humor.

And he knew his rock and roll, and wasn't afraid to show that fact with enthusiasm! It may seem like a small point but it says a great deal about the man, as does his easy interaction with the interviewer - Mr. Layton was a youthful, enthusiastic, energetic man, brimming with life, and it shows.

It's tremendous loss not just to Canada but to the world. This man would have been a great addition to the world scene. With respect I find it a bit difficult to say the same of your current PM.

I spent a great deal of time in Canada on business in the 80's and 90's and regard it as the greatest city in North America. I tell friends here that they must visit. Toronto is a different planet.

His constituents must stay strong. Jack Layton, may you find peace. You were a classy guy.
