GDR Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 It's sad. A really likeable guy and in my view it is a positive thing having him as leader of the opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinnaker Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 He's has a great personality that is hard to not like... regardless of his political views. I am hoping he is back to his healthy and 'fiesty' self soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
