Lots of talk on this list about the most popular Prime Minister of recent times. Just for fun, which of the past ten Prime Minister's did, or do, you dislike the most?
Note: You can make more than one choice;-)
oh there's a few actually ,adding yearly now --lol
Agreed, but few are going to even come close to how despised Mr. Mulroney was by his end of office!

That's for sure, and yet he won two majority governments back to back--go figure!

Not sure why many put the hate on for Mulroney. He gave us the GST which helped us reduce the deficit into a surplus, he gave us free trade which wasn't the doom and gloom the left predicted and he was forefront in the war on apartheid in South Africa.
He is far from the worst PM.
Lyin' Brian gave us about a fifty billion dollar deficit every year he was in office. The only surplus was his arrogance.
He needed the GST to pay the interest on the massive debt he accumulated.
Free trade was better for the Americans than for us.
I'm glad he worked on apartheid in Africa.....He should have gone there .....and stayed..
Mr. Mulroney inherited debts and deficits from the Liberals and had to tackle a recession and that is the same reason I give Bob Rae a pass on the Ontario economy at the time.
Without the GST the current Liberal government wouldn't have posted one single surplus.
Gone there and stayed? Nice respect for the work he did for millions of blacks.
Free trade was better for Americans? That is categorically untrue.
Lied? What lies are we talking about? Some jobs were lost and many were gained, are you employed now? We still have free trade and our unemployment numbers are the lowest in 30 years. Free trade also lead to massive amounts of American investment in Canada which also means jobs. Most job losses went to Asia but have been replaced with knowledge based jobs. If free trade was so much in favor of the U.S. than why did we have a long dragged out dispute over lumber?
The Conservatives are, in short, a drag. their whole focus is always on trying to placate the USA. Mulroney was the worst. He all but gave Reagan oral sex everytime they met. Harper is coming up a close second though. Their first priority is the States, as I said, their next are the rich corporations,etc.. and somewhere at the bottom of the list is the Canadian people.
:laughing8::laughing8::laughing8::laughing8: :laughing8::laughing8::laughing8: :laughing8:We're doing better now because we voted their lying asses out of office and put the real government back in power. Thank God the Liberals had such a long term to fix Conservative mis-use. Anyway, the whole history of this country is basic, the Liberals are the ruling party, and from time to time we let the Conservatives babysit to teach the Liberals a lesson when they get too high on themselves. most people don't vote Conservative, they actually vote against the Liberals.Takes a few years under the Conservatives and people can't wait to put the real government back into office.
