I woke up this morning to a text from someone with red hair. It went something like "Did you know that Jack Layton died?". I of course, had just woken up so no I didn't know. You may or may not have known either. Who, you may ask, is Jack Layton? Well, he is the Canadian celebrity of the hour, a politician and leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP). He left on a hiatus type leave for medical reasons, and yesterday night/ this morning died. I think we will best remember him for his trustache, the mustache that you could trust. Also, he lead the NDP to their first and most historical victory yet, actually becoming the official opposition party in parliament. Before this, the NDP had the most house (House of Commons?) seats the year they were invented, which was about 80 years ago. Now, their interim leader is a former Bloc party member. The Bloc, by chance, was Canada's seperatist party before they got demolished by the NDP. Interesting political times are ahead, and they're party due to the trustache going away. Bye trustache.
Because it is a farwell, today's music video will relate...in name only. The "feel-good music video of the day" is Bye Bye Bye by NSYNC, those 90's superstars. I think their company is Zomba Records.
