“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 (July 18, 1950 – August 22, 2011).

Chalk messages adorn the walls and pavement of Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto City Hall – an impromptu memorial in honour of Jack Layton.
