Chuck Cadman dies
- Thread starter Makhno
- Start date
agreed. unlike many he was not a self serving partisan. he disagreed with the liberal gov. but his constituents said they didn't want another election so soon after the last. a sentiment that was being echoed by almost the whole country and even still the conservitives couldn't get it through their thick skulls.
let this be a lesson that conservitive governments are dictatorships that do not care what the canadian public has to say. nothing has changed since the mulroney years. bravo chuck cadman, you are a cut above. you fought your illness with dignity and sacrificed your own health to do what you thought was right. may you rest in peace.

That's a massively stupid thing to say...like Liberal governments listen so effectively...Chretien is always my favorite example of a politician motivated purely be respect for "the canadian public"....smackyo said:let this be a lesson that conservitive governments are dictatorships that do not care what the canadian public has to say.
Let's Keep This Thread on Topic Please
This thread started as a tribute to a great Canadian.
I believe Chuck Cadman was an honourable human being and refreshingly unusual MP who should serve as an example for others to aspire to.
He served the people of Surrey with honour and respect. My heart goes out to his family and his constituents.
Rest well Mr. Cadman, I salute you!

His son
Let's not forget the reason he got into politics. His son was beat up and murdered by some pukes 15-20 years ago while walking down the street.
Cadman was one of the good guys to be respected for turning a negative situation into something positive for the rest of us.

Mr. Cadman was a politician's role model who passed far too soon. It would have been nice to see what he could have accomplished in the years ahead. He was in politics because he believed in making a change for the better of us all. Unlike that Steven Harper fucker, who when asked on t.v. for his comments on Mr. Cadman, gave a brief "Sorry to hear it", then used the remainder of his time infront of the camera to promote his party.
I didn't much care for Chuck Cadman when he first entered public life. I thought he came off as reactionary and not so knowledgeable when he first started his campaign against the Young Offenders Act. It was a tragedy that his son was murdered by a mob of teenage punks, but that alone did not make him an authority on the subject. Over the next several years, though, he slowly won me over. He did his research and did turn himself into a legitimate authority on YOA issues. He also, once elected to Parliament, showed himself to be more than a one-trick pony, a la Randy White. He was dignified and gracious throughout the debacle that lead to him losing the Conservative nomination in his Surrey riding and the recent budget vote crisis. In the end, he never sold himself out to either side. His final act in public life was to cast the deciding vote in Parliament that allowed the country to avert an election that nobody, a few Conservative and BQ opportunists aside, wanted. That is how I think we should remember him, as a man who put the will of his constituents and the good of Canada before partisan politics. RIP Chuck Cadman.

BP,well put. i could not have said it any better.
i, personally, dont give a crap about politics. my views on voting are the same as Bobcat Goldthwait. "voting is like going to the adult toy store and picking the dildo that is gonna hurt the least"
however, i really feel this one. he was a good man. R.I.P.
