About Irving Layton:
Irving Peter Layton was a Romanian-born Canadian poet. He was known for his "tell it like it is" style which won him a wide following, but also made him enemies. As T. Jacobs notes in his biography (2001), Layton fought Puritanism throughout his life:
In Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Canada has at last produced a political leader worthy of assassination.
