Other than #JackLayton I can’t think of another opposition leader in Canada’s political history who made such an imprint on the national consciousness as #StephenLewis.
From Jack Layton's letter to Canadians:
#JackLayton
#Love
#Hope
#Optimism
Many folks want the next Jack Layton, but Jack's predecessor brought the NDP back ⚠️
Alexa McDonough rebuilt this party with her leadership ❤️🩹
We're in the woods again, and I know the way out. Let's go forward together 🤝

#Canada,
do you miss him every day?
www.ndp.ca/letter-from-... if you remember #JackLayton it was because of what he was to us: cheerful, hopeful, loving cc. @annelagace.bsky.social @jdnovel.bsky.social @acoyne.bsky.social @susanfromontario.bsky.social @nellminow.bsky.social

👉 #JackLayton was my mentor. Before he passed, he told me:
“Some people in this world will dislike you, but you must never change, the world needs dreamers like you”.
🙏Those words have stayed with me ever since. #MarkCarney reignited that spark💥, he reminded me that heart of a dreamer never fades.
🗣Jack Layton was a great man if he were here today, he would want every Canadian🇨🇦 to stand up for the #CanadianCharter & raise our voices for Canada🇨🇦.
👉If you truly love your home, you dont just talk about it — you protect it & believe in it.

Try to be more like a Jack Layton. It really would do you wonders.

Many Canucks only came to know #JackLayton from #cdnPoli
#Toronto activists remember him from decades as the hardest working politician imaginable. It never mattered the size of the protest (or lack of press presence) if Jack had a personal connection or interest he would always materialize #Canada
14 years since my friend #JackLayton passed. Jack came down for my by-election in 2002, where we beat the odds. Like Jack, I am the optimist and the #NDP can return, for years we built “Never let them tell you it can’t be done.” JL
My last conversation with Jack Layton (apart from a handshake on the first day of the 2011 election) wasn’t about politics. It was two new grandfathers sharing pics of their first grandchild.
I miss Jack.

Poster with Jack Layton using orange ink. The following words are in the poster: "My friends… Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world."

Best Prime Minister we never had. 😔

It’s been a long time since we lost #JackLayton, and since our civil rights and quality of life have been under attack by bad faith oligarchs and authoritarianism. Jack’s legacy of legacy of Leadership through empathy, respect is more important than ever.

@judreb.bsky.social thinks the @NDP.ca lost its way when it was “professionalized” under the leadership of her friend #JackLayton. She argues it lost touch w/social movements. I spoke w/ one of the icons of Canada’s Left on my @ricochetmedia.bsky.social podcast. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/i...
I miss #JackLayton -- I've often wondered what he'd have thought, of all this Trump stuff.
Charlie Angus puts things so well. One does wonder how the NDP goes forward from here. That said, they have amazing resilience historically. Remember the "orange wave." take-note.ca/2025/05/01/t... #ndp #canadianpolitics #charlieangus #theresistance #jacklayton
#ElezioniFederali in #Canada, Jagmeet Singh affonda l'NDP: sono lontani i tempi di Jack Layton...

Until August of 2011, the leader of the federal NDP was #JackLayton and he was a national hero. He died, at that time, from cancer.
I’m pretty sure that everyone loved Jack…he was just *that guy*. And, today, a lot of NDP supporters voted Liberal for the first time.

Was thinking about #JackLayton just an hour ago. He was the only #NDP vote I've ever cast. Such a legend of a leader & human! Respect!
Happy #elections eve my fellow #Canadians! May we end up with a leader as inspiring as Jack Layton was! Please vote wisely.

Steve Boots: The #NDP were handed the most winnable election they have seen since #JackLayton and they have failed historically.

#JackLayton leader of the Canadian New Democratic Party from 2003 to 2011 and leader of the Official Opposition in 2011.
The Ghost of #JackLayton will haunt his nightmares forever. #RIPNDP #Canada

I find myself thinking of Jack Layton today. I was just a young first time voter when he passed, always thought he'd make it to prime minister.
I think he would have been a great voice during these times.
I will always wonder what could have been 🙁
