J'ai eu le grand privilège de te connaître, toi Mario et ta belle famille, lors de notre séjour au Costa Rica. On a bien ri, bien travaillé, et en plus nous sommes tous devenus des amis. J'aurais souhaité que l'on se retrouve encore tous ensemble à Paris ou quelque part sur cette planète mais le destin en a décidé autrement et ça me rend triste. Heureusement qu'il me reste Caroline et les filles. Avec mes meilleures pensées à vous tous, Diane

15Aug10 - Ce matin, notre Druide et moi a eu notre propre ceremonie au cercle sacre du Sweat Lodge au bois. J’ai pleure aussi. (Je pleure maintenant.) Mario m'a visite dans le bois a Devon en angleterre, il y a deux ans, pendant qu'il luttait pour la survivance de tous les etres, humains *et* non-humains. Il etait la encore. Le sacre coeur de nature est surtout overt pour Mario après tous ses efforts. Il nous aide partout maintenant. Il faut continuer la lutte, il ne faut jamais ‘giveuper' comme il disait.

Très cher Mario,
Il y a très longtemps que je t'ai vu, mais je pense souvent à toi à-partir de l'autre côté du continent, de ce pays qui te tenait si chèrement à coeur. Ton sens de l'humour, ton intelligence, ton énergie, et ton engagement envers ta famille resteront toujours une source d'inspiration pour moi. Je vous envoie tous et toutes beaucoup d'amour.

Très cher Mario,
Ton départ nous a bien attristé. Tu savais très bien combien nous t'avons apprécié lors de ton mandat à la Délégation générale à Mexico où tu nous as gâté avec ton humour, ton sens des relations humaines, ta simplicité et ta grande fidélité à ta famille, à ton pays et à tes principes.
On ne t'oubliera jamais.

I had the privilege of working together with Mario at the PMO. His sense of humour and made him a great guy to work with and he will be missed by everyone that got a chance to know him. Sincere condolences to the Lague family.

Mario entered the hearts of everyone with whom he worked. His mischievous wit was the only aspect of his keen mind which was more developed than his amazing strategic skills. His love of family first and foremost, followed by love of country defined him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. He has lots of company in heaven with Jerry Yanover and Richard Wackid. Each leaves an indelible legacy.
Each gone much too soon.
Allen Mitchell

It was a wonderful Liberal event in London on Sunday, August 8th. We were so proud to be with our Leader, his dear Zsuzsanna and his dedicated staff and friends. As I walked through our hostess' kitchen a 'friendly giant' passed by and gave me a lovely smile. It was the first time I met Mario. I feel fortunate to have had that moment. His shyness did not devulge his importance but his smile told me much about him. My heart goes out to his two families - his own family and his political family.

I was driving along a road in NB by the Baie de Chaleur when I head the CBC newscast of Mario's accident. I was so shocked and sad.
Although I had not seen Mario in several years Mario and I go way, way back - to when he and Carolyn were still university students. I was a new analysts at a small think tank called Canadin Trend Reort. (as fate would have it - both PMO and PCO were clients and Mario's presence would later be felt in both.)
We recognized Mario's keen intellect & talent quickly and we trained him as an analysts.
Later he went on - as you know to assist the Quebec gov't and then Ottawa
In the late 80's, when I had joined BCE/Bell we invited Mario to several of our internal Issues Management meetings. He was always so insightful.
We collaborated again during the last referendum when he was on the No bus.
Every tribute I have read so far is correct - warm, sense of humour keen mind.
I did not get back from New Brunswick in time for the memorial service - So please, please tell Carolyn that an old friend and big fan of Mario sends his deepest and heartfelt sympathies

There is such an empty place and a canyon of sorrow in our hearts because of the loss of Mario. It was an honour and privilege to have known him and worked for him at PCO Communications. Merci Mario pour ton grand coeur et ta joie de vivre.
Jodi Redmond

Mario loved the good things in life and his exuberance and joie de vivre were infectious. He was passionate about his family, his work, about food, wine, travel and art. He was the genuine renaissance man and a storyteller extraordinaire.
As an anglophone, I feel so fortunate to have learned so much about my country through the heart of a passionate Quebecer.
Mario was un grand homme of the highest integrity, wit and fortitude and generosity of spirit.
All of this was wrapped up into a big teddy bear of a man and I feel privileged and thankful to have had him as a colleague, and especially as a friend.
My sincerest sympathies go to Caroline and the girls, and all of Mario's family for their tragic loss.
Salut mon ami

The outpouring of comments from around Canada and the rest of the world demonstrate the impact that Mario and his family had on those whose lives they touched. Caroline and girls, acepten nuestra más sincera pésame y sepan que están en los pensamientos de todas las amistades que han formado alrededor del mundo.

How to describe the warm feelings Mario conjured in all of us? I first met and worked for Mario at PCO Communications and then went on to become his assistant at the PMO Press Office under Paul Martin. Those were trying times for him and yet, he kept his smile and good humour. I will always remember those times and the camaraderie the whole office had thanks to him.
Mes sympaties a toute sa famille, amis et collegues qui comme moi, se rappelerra toujours de l'homme qu'etait Mario.
Repose en paix Mario.

I remember thinking, after my first meeting with Mario, what an incredibly warm and funny man he was. I am deeply saddened in knowing that our paths will not cross again. His loss will be felt by many for a very long time to come.
I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to his family, colleagues and friends. May Mario rest in peace.
August 15, 2010
I have just learned with shock and sadness of Mario's tragic accident. I want to add my words of condolences to those of his many friends for his wife, and family.
I worked with Mario when he was at PCO and again when he was with the PMO under Prime Minister Martin. He always couched his brilliant insights into Canadian and Quebec politics in language that was rich in the colourful metaphors of common parlance.
I remember Mario as a happy warrior,devoted to Canada and to Quebec's place in it. I am certain he returned to his recent work with Mr. Ignatieff and the Liberal Party because he believed in the cause. You could always see the passion in his commitment.
I am happy to count myself among his many friends and deeply sorry he is no longer with us.

When Parliament was in session, on many mornings - about 7am or five to - I would meet Mario walking East from the parking lot while I walked West from mine in front of the Justice Building.
Mario always provided a friendly greeting or a comment on the overnight proceedings and was preparing his mind for the day ahead. You will be greatly missed my friend. My condolances to his loved ones and all those whom he touched in so many ways.
We have lost a great Canadian.

I met Mario for the first time at the Montreal 150 conference - only a few months ago - but like everyone else, I felt immediately as though I was meeting a friend.
It was impossible not to feel at ease with him. His warmth, honesty and good nature enveloped everyone in a virtual hug, while his intelligence, courage and integrity added nuanced layers of fine character.
His untimely death is a tragic loss for his family, for his friends, for the Liberal Party and for Canada, a country he loved and served so very, very well.

I will always remember Mario standing in the door of my office telling stories about the different adventures of his life that he lived and enjoyed fully. Two years of working daily with him in Costa Rica have left memories, work and life advices that I will cherish for a long time.
Mes sympathies à Caroline, Clara, Ariane, sa famille et tout ses amis qui pleurent aujourd'hui la disparition d'un grand homme.

J'ai connu Mario au Costa Rica. La vie d'expatrié n'est pas toujours facile et nous avait beaucoup rapprochés.
Au fil des années, nous sommes passés de bonnes connaissances à confidents. Nous parlions de nos enfants, de nos femmes, de hockey, de voyages et assez bizarrement très peu de politique…Et ce, bien entendu, toujours accompagné d’une bonne bouteille de vin !!!
Je garde des souvenirs impérissables du temps passé avec lui et je peux vous dire que c’était un être incroyable et tellement vrai.
Toutes nos sympathies à Caroline et aux filles. Vous savez que vous pouvez compter sur nous.
Adiós amigo mío

I met Mario just briefly - a wave out of a car when I was with my partner, who worked with him. I've heard so many stories of his humour, his kindness, his example as a professional; as a man.
To his family, friends and colleagues, my deepest sympathy for your loss. Although this is a time of sorrow, I hope knowing that Mario's spirit and bright light will live on through all of you, will bring you comfort in time. Until then, know that many, many people mourn along side you.

I had the privilege of meeting Don Mario during the time he served as Canadian Ambassador to Costa Rica. The office of the Canadian Embassy was located in the building next to where I worked in Oficentro La Sabana. Running quickly in the midst of a tropical deluge without an umbrella, suddenly, a large figure appeared and provided shelter from the rain. Our paths continued to cross. Don Mario and I talked about our families, our Canadian heritage and I always enjoyed our conversations. A kind man with a loving smile, I hold fond memories of the time spent hearing Don Mario talk about his wife and daughters. May they be strengthened with the knowledge that Don Mario will always be present in the memories of many. Un gran hombre de gran corazon.

Our hearts go out to Mario's family. I had the pleasure to sit down with Mario in his office during my inagueral visit to the house of commons. He offered me the advice of a seasoned pro. I felt privileged to be in his presence and will always remember how we both laughed and joked around. He made me feel comfortable during an otherwise intimidating day. Thank-you Mario!

Ce fut un réel plaisir de travailler sous ta direction au Bureau du Conseil Privé. Tu laisseras une marque indélébile dans nos coeurs, toi le battant raffiné et aventurier au grand sens de l'humour.

Mario,
Le destin est parfois terriblement cruel. Nous ne trinquerons pas à nos 25 années d’amitié indéfectible au cours desquelles, côte à côte ou à distance, tu m’as donné tant d’occasions d’apprécier non seulement tes innombrables qualités de tête et de cœur, mais également ce que la vie a de plus beau à offrir quand elle bat au rythme de l’amitié véritable.
C’est dans le souvenir ému de la multitude de fous rires irrépressibles qui ont marqué ce quart de siècle inoubliable que je trouverai le réconfort et la force de surmonter la douleur de ton absence désormais éternelle.
Avec une pensée affectueuse pour ta femme et tes filles ainsi que les membres de ta famille, je te remercie de m’avoir honoré de ton amitié.
T’avoir connu et côtoyé fut un immense privilège. Adieu! Vieux chum.
Elizabeth Thompson

I first met Mario during the 1995 referendum when he had the often thankless task of being the federalist policy analyst on the No bus. From there he went to work for the Privy Council, playing a key role in bringing Quebec back from the brink of sovereignty. However, he never sought the limelight and most Canadians have no idea how much they owe him.
Even in the toughest of circumstances he was always cheerful with a sharp mind that could see right through the murkiest and most complicated situations.
My sincerest condolences to his family and to his colleagues. He will be missed

This is a tragedy.
I worked with Mario for a brief time in the Prime Minister's communications office in the summer of 2004. This was my first political job and I was not sure what to expect. Mario made me feel very much at ease and I learned much from him in a short time. He was a kind and patient man. I will miss his laugh.
My thoughts are with Mario's family at this time, my most sincere condolences.
Peter O'Neil
August 13, 2010
I only met Mario once, over coffee I believe, but it was immediately obvious he was a true gentleman -- and that is becoming more and more of a compliment these days. We're the same age, with fairly young kids, so my heart goes out to his family and especially his children. My condolences as well to my press gallery friends and Hill staffers who were close to him.
