Canadian comedy lost an icon this weekend as former member of the Royal Canadian Air Farce, Roger Abbott died after losing a battle with leukemia on Saturday.
Now, the Air Farce was Canada's version of Saturday Night Live, so whenever election time came up, all the federal party leaders would be impressively portrayed by the Air Farce cast members.
Fellow cast member Don Ferguson did an amazing Lucien Bouchard, Paul Martin, and Preston Manning.
And Abbott did an unbelievable Jean Chretien.
It's too bad that the original Air Farce cast could not get together for one more election special, which in all likelihood, would have happened in the next month.
Here's Abbott in his prime.
