I have not been very involved in the Canadian politics blog-o-sphere. One blog that I do follow - and one of the first to feature me in its blogroll - is Canuck Attitude. I was shocked to read that the proprietor of that blog, Bruce McDonald, recently died, apparently taking his own life.

I didn't know Bruce or know of his blog until I read your post, but I am sorry to hear about the loss of this activist who was evidently tormented by homophobic assholes and survived a lot of abuse by them. People often don't realize how common a problem suicide is. It is a problem that doesn't have to exist, if we would talk about things more and treat people more humanely and not act like it's a shameful thing that should never be mentioned, then perhaps it would not be so common.
