Hundreds and hundreds in New Democrat contingent at this year's Labour Day Parade in Toronto. Provincial leader Andrea Horwath and NDP members of Provincial Parliament were joined by federal interim leader Nicole Turmel and marchers from one to ninety-one. Lots of orange. Lots of touching tributes to Jack Layton and support for Olivia Chow in her time of loss.
Cool this year, and gray, but the rain stayed away. Great solidarity among working people. Rita and I stopped to say hello to friends in the Clergy United group and hand out "This one's for Jack" buttons, then on to the NDP crowd, with a quick word and hug from Andrea. Bonus!
