As much as I can't stand the mans politics, I do wish him a complete recovery.
Same.
Good luck, Jack.
Get well soon.
A tragedy for Mr. Layton. I hope he manages to get through this and continue his work.
After seeing the video of the press conference, I don't think so. Sad to say it, but I've seen too many people with late stages of cancer, and his voice, the gauntness of his face all tell me that he's not going to last very long.
If his prostate cancer has spread to his liver, lungs or bones - he might have 6 months. Sad. Althought I intensly dislike politicians in general, it's not a nice way to go.
Good Luck, Mr. Layton.

yes, I've seen that look before, and it does not bring glad tidings.

Now I watched the video...
He looks and sounds very fragile...

Yep. This is when we need to remember that he's a human being with a family and friends, and not just a politician.
lets hope he is able to get back by the time parliment opens. Do not need harper to continue his "self-dictatorship" without someone watching him like Mr. Layton or Mr. Rae.
This is a respectful "get well Jack" thread. If you want to turn it into an "I hate Harper thread" standby to be called idiot... repeatedly.
Idiot.
