The New Frontiersman

I was so sad when I woke up this morning and saw this on CBC.

(Yeah, that's all I've got to contribute here.)

A Great Canadian died today, he will be missed!

Now the coolest party leader is... Harper??

Oh good Lord.

I could never get behind his policies, he seemed like a decent guy outside of politics and I really do feel for his family and friends.

RIP. He was by far the NDP's most successful party leader, and left the party in its absolute best shape it's been in. A good guy, too.

The fact that he's pretty much universally respected should say more than anything else, especially in politics of this era.

Rest in peace Jack I was sad when I found out about this like half hour ago. I never voted for your party last election (I voted Conservative) but you did a great job as leader of the NDP and you seemed like a pretty good dude outside of politics.

Deepest Condolences to your family and friends.

Yeah, I live in Ottawa. The whole town's basically in mourning now, regardless of political stripe.
