Jack Layton's New Democrats have come from nowhere to challenge the ruling Conservatives There is a buzz, even in the rainswept air along Danforth Avenue, as lunchtime drinkers emerge from the Fox and Fiddle and mothers collect their children from the Holy Name Catholic school. This is the "riding", or constituency, of Toronto Danforth, parliamentary seat of the man who lost the Canadian federal election, Jack Layton. So why the buzz?

That decision wasn't just made because it's our parish school or because many DC public schools have serious problems.
