A Tribute to the Late MP NDP Leader Jack Layton

The House of the Parliamentarians open today after a long recess. Summer is over! An honorary tribute is given to the late NDP Leader, MP Jack Layton who died last August 22, 2011 after a long battle with prostate cancer.  In their formal best attire the parliamentarians led by the Speaker of the House, PM Conservative Leader Hon. Stephen Harper, NDP Nicole Turmel, Green Party leader Hon. Miss Elizabeth May whose voice is loud and clear accent and diction almost perfect that almost everyone can hear and listen to. Her tribute is one example of an emotional yet straight to the point of how speech should be made. Clear, concise, eloquent and  has a very touching yet calm- effect soothing to one's mental cues. Simple yet the true message is there. More like a message of truth not just a script or stage.

Heartwarming applause and warmth of embrace filled the emotional yet stern faced NDP MP Miss Olivia Chow after having to say what she wants to let everyone knew of how she felt, her courageous speech, her lonesome feature as she tackled the process of despair, loneliness, yet no empty feelings of the past. The whole process of the wake, life and death, and survival after the death of a loved one. With all the sympathy and condolences from people she knew and remember and from the people whom she never knew were there also to pay tribute to her late husband. With all sincerity she end up her speech with legacy that  Jack Layton once said " no one should be left behind." With her right hand on the wooden board desk topped with her left hand, rest assured that her message is heard.
