Doug Taylor, 1956-2014

I was saddened to learn that Doug Taylor, a strong supporter of Climate & Capitalism and founder of the Ecosocialism Canada blog, died on January 13 in Regina, Saskatchewan.

John Warnock writes:

I visited him just hours before he left us. He was in very good spirits, was not at all afraid of death, and still had his sense of humour and hearty laugh. We discussed books we liked. His funeral was held at Lakeview United Church on January 17.

Doug spent his adult life doing everything he could to improve the lives of those less fortunate, to expand the democratic movement, and to try to save the environment from human destruction. We will surely miss him.

We will indeed.
