15. Jack Layton - Jack Layton, the leader of the Canadian federal New Democratic Party, died Monday at age 61. I never met him, but by all accounts he was a good guy dedicated to Canada and Canadians, and it is a tragedy that he died at such a young age. That said, I did not agree with his political stance on most any issue.
Almost immediately after his death, a letter from Mr. Layton was released into the middle of an outpouring of emotional media stories, tributes and so on. While I could certainly identify with the part of the letter that spoke to the courage of people fighting cancer - or any disease for that matter - I thought that the letter was overly calculating in a political sense.
Amidst all the media types, I only saw one person who had the stones to criticize the letter - Christie Blatchford of the National Post - for which she has been predictably vilified.
