MP Jim Carr dreamed of green energy production in the Prairies

Jim Carr was running out of time, but he was wont to say that every day, every hour, every minute counts. For years, he had dreamed that the Prairies he so loved would be transformed into a place that produced green energy, thus contributing to a healthy, cleaner environment for generations to come.

“Dad was the poster boy for how to live when you know you’re dying,” his son, Ben Carr, said. “He didn’t have to physically go to Ottawa, with the hybrid conditions for parliamentarians in place, but he jumped on a plane every time he had some sort of obligation to the bill because he wanted to look people in the eye, to be there to listen and respond to criticisms. All of those things made up the core of who he was.

“He wanted to open himself up to see the world from a different perspective,” the son said. “With the Jehovah’s Witnesses, with Gary Doer and Gary Filmon, both political rivals during his time in the Manitoba legislature, with countless others, he was teaching us that just because you don’t see the world the same way, or agree on every issue, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t room for friendship and mutual respect.

Summers were spent at Winnipeg Beach with cousins whom young Jim considered siblings, and in day camp. He participated in various sports throughout his youth, including football and one unfortunate outing as a hockey goalie. In high school, he also began to play the oboe, becoming so adept, he played for the Winnipeg Symphony from the ages of 16 to 21 and he was awarded a Canada Council grant to study for a year in San Francisco under the tutelage of master oboist Marc Lifschey.

That dream died with Jim
