Brian Mulroney, the Prime Minister of Canada during my formative years - 1984 to 1993 - and a man who looked suspiciously like Martin on Frazier, died on Leap Day at the age of 84.
Mulroney was a once popular PM who left office with a very low approval rate. It's hard to see why. He stood against Apartheid in South Africa, led Canada in its involvement in the Gulf War, reduced the deficit, and largely advocated for existing social programs, although I'm sure necessity got in the way and he tinkered with them.
By all accounts tho, even his opponents liked him as a person.
RIP
