    Such a shame. His problems are over, I feel for his family and friends.
    Not Debatable.

    Really can't say I'm surprised to hear this....


    But he led such a healthy lifestyle . I know this was Canada , but it does seem to underscore the need for some kind of re call elections or simply firing politicians

    I couldn't agree more, then again, look at D.C's former mayor Marion Barry....

    The Mayor is a municipal position and the government (provincial and federal) won't typically get involved. I remember doing the research and there was virtually no way to remove him against his will.

    He could have been experiencing pain without a diagnosis until it was too late. I wonder if he was self medicating due to pain. rip
