There is a Facebook event/campaign to get as many people as possible to raise a glass in memory of Jack Layton and his historic breakthrough last year.
Whether you like the NDP or not, the win big win last year by Jack Layton for party was a major shift in our national politics and the first time since 1993 that almost all the seats in Quebec are represented by a federalist politician.
Also important to remember is that politics and politicians do not have to be serious and angry all the time. There is time to smile, have a beer and watch a hockey game.
If nothing else, honour his courage to have a cheesy moustache in an error of political image making!
PARTOUT au Canada - EVERYWHERE in Canada

I will gladly raise a glass to our Canada Jack. He was a true Canadian, every inch of the way.
I will gladly throw a glass, at Harper. Bev Oda is really getting raked over. right from Dion, Mulcair, Boivin and many others. She only pays back, when she gets caught.
This country is a total nightmare. The Chair was furious, after two sessions, the Auditor hasn't been brought in to testify, regarding the costs of the F-35 jets. The Chair was told he was not telling the truth, then the proverbial .... really hit the fan. There are accusations, of a certain shredder working overtime.
Elections Canada, with a witness and documents, still haven't been asked to present their findings. The shredders seem to be working overtime on that one too. Of course, Harper is denying his face off. He looked a total fool in Parliament to-day.
Yes Jack, you are very much missed.
