PM Harper: I know one thing: Jack gave his fight against cancer everything he had. Indeed, Jack never backed down from any fight.

There aren't many things that take my breath away at this point in my life but hearing of Jack's passing did just that. My heart goes out to his family.
Jack has gone the way of all men. Rest In Peace Jack.
I only hope he was able to take his crackpot ideology with him so Canada will never be inflicted with it again.
God Bless you Jack Layton. May you rest in peace in the Heavens.
Although Jack endured his pain in silence; he always had a smile.
Updated with a comment from the PM making its way around Twitter.
Watching Jack Layton being moved around this week is starting to remind me of Weekend at Bernies.
