A long-time Labrador activist and member of the Labrador Land Protectors says Jim Learning will stay with her whether he’s here physically or not.
Denise Cole was commenting on the passing of Learning who died this week at the age of 81.
Learning was a well-known and vocal supporter of the rights of Labradorians and was in the front-lines during protests surrounding the construction of Muskrat Falls.
He was jailed at Her Majesty’s Penitentiary along with a small group of Labrador Land Protectors after being arrested in October of 2016.
Cole says Learning always stood up for “everybody else.” He would take on issues on a personal level that she says always had an impact on others.
