Letter to the editor: Remembering Jack

Notes: "Before his death, I think Jack's vision for Canada became more profound. I believe he came to the conclusion that politics should be about promoting quality human relationships and that obstacles to living the fullness of our relationships should be removed. Coming from a social gospel perspective, I am left wondering is this is a new, more spiritual definition of social democracy. Because of this, I remember him as someone who was concerned about the quality of his own relationships. Someone who looked at you when you spoke, truly listened and always had time for the slightest problem. I am very thankful and consider it a wonderful blessing that God saw fit to include such an inspirational person in my life".; Author was the NDP (New Democratic Party) Member of Parliament for Pontiac, Que., from 2011 to 2015.
