John Horgan died at Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria , B.C. on Tuesday morning .

Horgan was a working-class socialist, not a bourgeois one.

He was known for what he dubbed his “ Irish temper” in opposition.

He resigned in 2022 after contracting throat cancer and going through 35 radiation treatments.

Horgan was not a top-down leader, unlike some premiers, he let cabinet ministers make announcements.

His government was the first in Canada to enshrine the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People into provincial law.

A few months after he moved to Germany , he discovered he had thyroid cancer.

He beat bladder cancer in 2008 and throat cancer in 2001 .
