It's pretty disappointing. I voted for him just a few months ago, and for a minority government, everyone was shocked to hear they got second place in the polls. He would have been our president had our voting system not been bullshit.

So even if he did win it would have been short lived, too soon to say what impact he could have made I suppose.

I feel very sad first and foremost for his family, but I also feel bad for Canada. Honestly he was the only Canadian politician I didn't think was full of shit; he had the integrity of Nader. Part of Canada's future died with him that's for sure...

I just researched him and DAMN.

He had all the right ideas...but what can an 11 year old say about politics, eh.
