That's sad; he was still pretty young, relatively speaking.

Yes, it is sad news.

On the flip side, the question is, who will win the by-election, now that he is gone (if there is one)?

Well, in that particular riding, yes, but by-elections are not exactly rare in between general elections.

Mo, I mean since he was the crucial vote in the non-confidence motion, will it unleash a general?

No... the vote already happened and its results have been entered into the record.  If another one comes up, then we'll see if the Liberals can still find a way to hold on, but for now, no, this will not somehow invalidate the results of the non-confidence motion.

The NDP shouldn't have much trouble picking it up; it's basically a load of run-down working class suburbs and voted strongly NDP in the provincial election

We will have to wait for the fall for the next non-confidence motion.
