    Man, this is sad as hell.

    I did not agree with his politics, but he deserved better than this.

    Sure, there are politicians in this country who I wouldn’t mind seeing disappear from politics, but I sure as hell don’t want to see anyone dead

    The last five years of his life sucked ass. Came out as gay in a conservative party, ran for PM and got laughed at, got divorced, and still stuck by his career dispute almost everyone suggesting he retire. In a world with more and more flaccid career politicians and trump-wannabes, I can respect a dude for a least sticking to what he believes in, conservative as they might be.
