Now, she's not a very political person, so she didn't realize right away that the person was in fact Jack Layton. She told me that Layton kept smiling at people, introducing himself, shaking their hands, and asking "Did you vote for me?". If you said "Yes", you were suddenly his new best friend. If you said "No", it would be like "Aw, why not?". I had to laugh at that, because that's exactly how I picture Layton walking amongst the masses.

yes,
His riding office is just around the corner from my house (on the Danforth) and before the election there was the odd time that you would see him coming over from the McDonald's with coffees. Nobody paid any attention. Now, for the last few weeks, whenever he is there, it's with a few big campaign buses, accompanying media trucks, and of course, the resulting traffic tie-ups. the odd thing is, my riding is fielding Marylin Churley as the NDP candidate, so I and confused why his office is here...
