Bleeding Orange

He was my political dream boat.

The man, the moustache, who inspired me to become passionate about politics. The man who helped me feel like my opinion mattered and that it was up to me to instigate the changes I wanted to see in the world.

It shouldn't have been a surprise and yet it was. He was beyond frail looking in his last public appearance. But his charisma and passion shone through, so it was easily overlooked.

Though I never met you, I will miss you, Jack. Your final words to the people of Canada have truly touched a nation and I hope that your success will not die with you, rather it will proceed full-steam ahead because of the way you inspired those around you right up until your dying breath.
