In an email to his constituants and to members of the New Democratic Party, leader Jack Layton has announced that he has been diagnosed with treatable prostate cancer. In the email distributed at about 1pm on Friday, February 5th, and on an online video accessable from the NDP website, Layton describes his cancer as being the same kind that his father was diagnosed with seventeen years ago.

Although I.m not an NDP supporter, I wish Jack Layton a speedy and painless recovery. Canadian Politics will not be the same without his fiestiness.

I am. But what difference? Cancer knows no race, class, or affiliate. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and Olivia - I know they've the strength to overcome.
