Opinion: Premier is absolutely convinced he can beat his second bout with cancer
“My prognosis is good and I expect to make a full recovery,” maintained Horgan, cancer survivor that he is.
One thing that did stand out about the nature of Horgan’s government was the way it continued with business as usual this week. The New Democrats also pressed on with amendments to the province’s access to information law, ignoring critics who say it will gut key aspects of the landmark legislation brought in by the NDP government of the 1990s.
Skelly, now 78 and in failing health, won the NDP leadership in 1984 at a nail-biter of a convention — six candidates, five ballots.If Skelly is remembered at all, it was for the anxious moment on the opening day of the 1986 campaign where his voice broke and he pleaded — in vain on live TV — to start again.Skelly recovered from that opening night embarrassment and went on to close the gap on the Socreds, albeit not enough to win.
Horgan had already outdone his predecessors by leading the party into a second election and emerging with a majority.
