Obhrai: Stage Case and Saturday Morning

obhrai: Deepak was a constant source of joy inside the Conservative caucus, said a statement from heartbroken leader Andrew Scheer, with whom Obhrai shared the battle to lead the party in 2016 and 2017, according to National Observer. He brightened every room he walked into and often injected warmth, kindness, and good humour into our deliberations. The unexpected news came Saturday morning in a statement that said Obhrai he just turned 69 last month, roughly the same time he was diagnosed with an advanced Stage 4 case of the disease died abruptly in Calgary while surrounded by members of his family, who described themselves as shocked by his sudden departure. I know I speak on behalf of my Conservative colleagues when I say that he will be missed tremendously. I was shocked to hear that because he seemed to be in fine form the last time I saw him when the House was still sitting, Scheer said. ; Obhrai is the fourth Conservative MP to die in the last four years, and the second this year B.C. MP Mark Warawa died in June of pancreatic cancer. In an interview, Scheer said he only heard a few days ago that Obhrai had taken ill. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
