Jamaican-born founder of the United Progressive Party of Canada attended today’s celebration of life for Jimmy Cliff, sharing just how deeply the icon shaped his own journey.

Now a Canadian federal political party leader and even a Kenyan chief, he says Jimmy Cliff’s music has guided him through his life — and right now, one song speaks louder than ever: “Many Rivers to Cross.”

With the political landscape in Canada proving challenging, he told the #OTeam the track reminds him to push forward, keep fighting, and stay rooted in purpose.

On vacation in Jamaica, he said he felt compelled to be present today: “I had to come.” 🇯🇲🇨🇦
