"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."

~ Jack Layton (1950-2011)

Today is a good day to think about how to make the world a better place. And then to act on it.

#JackLayton was born 73 years ago today.

One of my earliest proofs of the importance of #InclusiveDesign was when #OlivaChow’s husband (the late #JackLayton) told me how he learned to put in the marketing material — a candidate’s number on ballot)

Why?

Because in cities like #Toronto, many voters aren’t familiar with Latin letters (and names spelled in English) but numbers are almost universally recognized

Seeing Olivia’s campaign listing her name with “25” was a nice reminder of how much she influenced him

@carc It's largely historical. Federally the @torontostar was the only major #Canadian daily to endorse #NDP leader #JackLayton in 2011, and otherwise have always endorsed the #Liberal party which #MSM considers "left".
I think they have shifted somewhat to the right under their new owners, though.

Jack Layton is trending on the other site.

Here he is, after being "arrested", on his way to "jail" as part of a Cancer Society fundraiser on November. 5, 1991.
