Jack and Me

Full disclosure time: I feel I should come clean about part of the reason behind my fascination with the Layton scandale. Truth is, he was my "City Politics" instructor in my second year of Ryerson's three year journalism program.

What was he like back then?

Well, put it this way: even though in that era I was a lefty like him, I and my somewhat jaded peers found his earnestness and apparent absence of any discernible sense of humour to be more than a little risible--and hard to take (no pun intended, for once).

Ha, ha. I had him too, but quit on the last day to change courses, hoping it would be too late for someone on the waiting list to get in. I hope I saved a mind that day.
