Friends and political foes alike are praising NDP Leader Jack Layton for his warmth, optimism and respect for opponents.

People who squared off across the House of Commons from Layton, including former prime ministers Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin, as well as Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Liberal Leader Bob Rae, all spoke warmly about Layton's commitment to Canadians.

Layton, who led Canada's Official Opposition, died early Monday morning at his Toronto home after a battle with cancer. He was 61.

This is a shock to me, he was a well liked politician, who battled cancer before, and he was a fighting leader who was more or less in the third party of Canadian politics, but he helped pushed the party to the main stream in the May 2nd Election to official opposition.

It is a shame to see him go as a few weeks ago he mentioned that he was leaving politics for a few weeks to recover from another form of cancer.
