David Eby says John Horgan left politics more popular than when he entered.

Eby: "He was hard to get — and hard to keep" Horgan 's willingness to walk away from the job gave him the freedom to do it as he saw fit, said Eby .

Horgan was willing to cut slack to those who were not on Team Horgan — gasp! To Horgan , “those folks were just mistaken, they weren’t actually bad people,” Eby said.

David Eby's tribute to John Horgan was more flattering to Horgan than to Eby .

Eby chose to tell those stories about Horgan , the upstart who challenged the boss, the partisan who’d purge the public service, the electoral reform geek who overthought the referendum.

He was always ready to create space for people who made mistakes.
