NDP ... well.. ok...

The more I hear about Jack Layton, NDP leader, the more I like him. Sure he comes off as a bit of a radical/loose cannon, and yes he's shoved his foot squarely in his mouth at least once, but after this article about comments he made regarding Paul Martin being responsible for the freezing deaths of homeless people.

I especially like this line:

Layton added he too – as a former Toronto city councillor – was responsible for not doing enough to help the homeless.

This, he said became clear to him, when a homeless man froze to death one block from the Toronto house he shares with his wife Olivia Chow, who is also running in the federal election for the NDP.

When you are able to admit your own faults, to me that adds credibility to your character.

Ya Jack is saying better things and all the credit due. But you know, its the causual decisions that have to be made and committed to completion. The Greens have to do work on the platform, but they are reaching for that transcendalist change for which mankind must adopt so that future generations may flourish.
