He also brought us to a real 3 party system in Canada. While I disagree with a lot of the NDP's platforms; I do like having that other perspective to keep the gov't in check.

That was part of his message, but also that the media was portraying him to be something he wasn't which is true IMO.
The CBC especially he talked about and I rarely ever agree with Ezra, but I think what he said in this video was mostly true, but he could have toned down the d-bag factor a little bit.
CBC is going to show a 90 minute video about his life. I guess we'll have to wait and see if they actually talk about his life from all angles and not just the good NDP stuff.
