Perhaps The Biggest Reason Jack Layton Doesn’t Want To Go To An Election

It appears that Jack Layton will be undergoing hip surgery soon.

The New Democrats are in a position to determine the timing of the election, depending on their support of the March 22 budget, and Layton’s health problems are now a factor in whether Canadians will go to the polls this spring.

Layton’s hairline hip fracture has developed into a full-fledged fracture that needs immediate treatment, said Kathleen Monk, director of communications for the NDP.

Assuming all goes well, Layton should be back on his feet long before the budget is unveiled March 22. Ms Monk also says that they’re “ready to fight a campaign” and “the surgery will have no influence on the NDP’s decision whether to back the government.”

I wonder how predatorial  Stevie Spiteful will be? Will he take advantage of Layton’s health issues and move in for the kill? Or will he actually allow Jimbo Flaherty to include some of the NDP’s demands in the upcoming budget?

Whatever happens, we, at Sister Sage’s Musings, wish Mr. Layton a speedy recovery.
