Some sad news out of Ottawa Monday morning with news that NDP Leader Jack Layton has died.

He stepped down as leader of the party a few weeks ago to fight another form of cancer.

Layton had just led the NDP to their best ever finish in an election as they were elevated from third party status to official opposition.

Layton who spent most of his career in politics was just 61 years old.
