I'm not sure that I'm onboard with a state funeral, it seems like a bit of political one up man ship.

As much as I respect Layton for his passion and his destruction of the Bloc, I'm not sure that a party leader that up until this year was a fringe party is really State Funeral material.

State Funerals should be for former Prime Ministers, or great Canadian's who died in service of their country.
