B.C. Premier John Horgan says in a social media post that Waddell approached everything with a passion and desire to make progress for people, while federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says Waddell was a champion of social justice who always lifted up those around him.
Waddell earned law degrees from the University of Toronto and London School of Economics and worked as a prosecutor, defence lawyer and council to the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry before making a successful jump to federal politics.
Waddell served 14 years as an New Democrat MP, representing the ridings of Vancouver-Kingsway and Port Moody-Coquitlam, before turning to provincial politics from 1996 to 2001.
