Remembering Jack Layton
Here at Maclean's, we appreciate the written word. And we appreciate you, the reader. We are always looking for ways to create a better user experience for you and wanted to try out a new functionality that provides you with a reading experience in which the words and fonts take centre stage. We believe you'll appreciate the clean, white layout as you read our feature articles. But we don't want to force it on you and it's completely optional. Click "View in Clean Reading Mode" on any article if you want to try it out. Once there, you can click "Go back to regular view" at the top or bottom of the article to return to the regular layout.
Olivia Chow talks about carrying on. Brent Hawkes reflects on his eulogy. Thomas Mulcair salutes his predecessor. Joan Bryden considers the public’s reaction to Jack Layton’s passing. And Tobi Cohen considers the state of play for the NDP.
In the current issue of the magazine, I have a piece about Mr. Layton’s last letter. That piece, plus an essay from Ms. Chow, can also be found in a new collection of this magazine’s writing on the late NDP leader.
Commemorations this week will include a memorial celebration at Nathan Phillips Square on Wednesday evening.
