Former Liberal trade minister Jim Peterson died on May 10, aged 82. The Canadian Press reported he’d had a heart attack at his farm. Born in Ottawa to parents from Saskatchewan, Peterson was a lawyer by training who represented the Toronto area riding of Willowdale for a total of 23 years: first from 1980-1984, and then from 1988 until he stepped down in 2007.
