VICTORIA – John Horgan would often say he believed most people in British Columbia were New Democrats deep down but they just didn’t know it yet.

Horgan, Canada’s ambassador to Germany and a former NDP premier who formed a minority government in 2017, winning a majority three years later with a snap election call at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, died on Tuesday after his third bout with cancer.
