“Our hearts are broken to announce the passing of our beloved husband, father and friend, John Horgan,” the statement reads.

"The wellbeing of British Columbia and everyone in it was everything to him.

“Live long and prosper,” the statement concludes, with a nod to Horgan’s love of Star Trek.

    Sigh. He was a fucking excellent premier and managed to start the process of unfucking our province after years of Clarke bullshit.

    I hope he was able to enjoy his last few years of retirement and they compensated him well for the excellent service he did for our province.
