A huge loss. Ming was courteous, as many have noted, but he was also immensely kind. I had the same cancer as him & he called me the day of every treatment, cycle after cycle, sharing advice, gossip & reassurance.
Ming Campbell was a dedicated public servant and a true Liberal giant. His principled leadership opposing the Iraq War was a mark of his morality, courage and wisdom. But more than that, he was an incredibly warm and caring friend and colleague. We will miss him terribly.
