RIP JOHN TURNER
CANADA"S 17th PRIME MINISTER

John Turner, who became Canada’s 17th prime minister on June 30, 1984, was once “the golden boy” of the federal Liberal Party. His career, which began with great promise and propelled him to the highest office in the land, eventually became tinged with pathos as he led his party to its worst defeat in the 20th century a few weeks later.

Turner died at age 91 on Sept. 19, 2020.

Turner was a charismatic politician, conventionally handsome with piercing blue eyes. He was a feel-good, back-slapping extrovert with a bulging Rolodex. He boasted he knew more people on a first name basis than anyone else in Canada and he kept in touch.

A politician of the old school, he was unfailingly courteous, even to his political enemies, and saw public service as a duty for those who had been given much by society.

Text RGB to 50409 to have letters via Resistbot sent to your officials requesting they wait to confirm a new justice until after the inauguration.

My personal favorite was "Angie Baby".

Also to pass is the first person to be cured of HIV, Timothy Ray Brown, known as "the Berlin patient". He died of a recurrence of cancer. He was 54.
