Mulroney devastated by Newman's book.

[Ten Packs]

If Mulroney is so "devastated", is it too much to hope that he hangs himself in the basement?

I would always offer to help in that endeavor... :wink:

I can lend him the rope. I want it back though.

The Tommy Dauglas was the best Prime Minister we never had.

Ain't that the truth though...

Hell, I'd even vote for Tommy Hunter before I'd vote for Mulroney or any of his brand of corporatist neoconservativism...the corporatist neoliberal Martinites are not much better, but at least we have some chance at societal progress...

Mulroney's Latest Picture!

Re: RE: Mulroney devastated b

I would say Trudeau was the better of the 3. But in my lifetime though (since 67) I do not remember ever having a real "strong" PM.

You mean trudough, the lawyer who created his own version of civil rights that gives the criminal more rights and protection that the victim??? Not to mention that lawyers are a now out of control source of criminal continuance.

Trudough is right. I am not Familar with Pearson. He was before my time. He could not of been worse, could he? The TV media was in its infancey in his day, so everything Pearson did was not broadcast on TV and the TV press were not "aggressive" like they are now.

Mulroney was just a dick. I still cringe seeing him and Reagen singing "old Irish eyes" together..............

In my judgement, Brian Mulroney should be rated somewhere behind R. B. Bennett.

I still think you're giving him too much credit, GL. I tend to put him in the same category as Batista and Pinochet.

Rev,

Please note that I phrased it as somewhere behind, not right behind.

Hey, if gas prices keep going up will the term "Bennet Buggy" be replaced with "Martin Buggy" in Canada, or will "Bush Buggy" become the common term for all of North America?

You know, I was confronted with an unlikley Question last night that I was unable to give an answer to.

Essentially if there was no NDP and Liberals, and there were two types of conservative like parties, one Lead by Mulruney, and the Other Stephan harper. If there was an election who would you vote for???

:x Dammit the only answer that I could think of after much deliberation was either shooting myself or burning down the election offices.

Hard choice to make between one who has screwed us already(Mulroney) and one who will no doubt screw us in the future.(Harper)

My choice: Elmer Fudd as a write in.

I've ordered a copy of the book, if only to pi-- myself off. Probably a form of Masochism. :wink:

Mulroney is widely considered to be amongst the worst of PMs, certainly here on this site.

LOL indeed, what color is his sky... NAFTA and his role in Globalism were betrayals of the average Canadian, and you would think he must know that. Only his Elite friends benefitted from Mulroney's terms in office, and I guess that those ones are the only people he talks too.

Perhaps they told him he was the best PM ever - they likely told him that several times!!{ Ha Ha Ha eh?

We must consider the possibility that these guys actually BELIEVE these obviously egotistical fantasies. This would explain GW Bush's claims to have American public's support, and and that he has GODS word on invading Iraq, and so on.

In fact, they have handlers that don't LET them HEAR from certain people, not be tainted by certain opinions, etc.

It is like Bush is groomed to be President, and is actually brainwashed to believe "the war is going well" and so on. This gives him the best chance to complete his mission.

Didn't he threaten a $50mil lawsuit sometime in the past for a tarnished reputation??? ?

Hey thats RIGHT!! I forgot - that ridiculous lawsuit. Wasn't it againt the Nation of Canada or something?

 

[Jo Canadian]

8O On the Bright side, at least we had Mulruney then and not now!!! Could you imagine if he was PM now rubbing shoulders ( or *****'s ) with Bush???

. . . Hey thats RIGHT!! I forgot - that ridiculous lawsuit. Wasn't it againt the Nation of Canada or something?

The basis for the litigation was the Request for Assistance, initiated and drafted by the RCMP, signed and sent by the Department of Justice to the Swiss authorities in the RCMP investigation.

Mulroney claimed that the document wrongly indicated, that the RCMP had reached conclusions that as Prime Minister Mulroney had engaged in criminal activity.

Under the pressure of Mulroney’s lawsuit, Ottawa was forced to acknowledge that its allegations - that Mulroney accepted bribes connected to Air Canada's 1988 purchase of Airbus Industrie jets - could not be substantiated.

Brian Mulroney won a public apology from the Government of Canada and the RCMP. Any further penalties were left to later litigation, which I have purposely have not pursued.

Any payment to Lyin Brian should have been approved by the people of Canada. Unfortunately Chretien caved in for fear his own skeletons would be exposed. I can't wait to read the book.

The lawsuit was pretty funny, because it was one nasty corrupt politican using the RCMP to go after another nasty corrupt politician. There is little Mulroney did that was any worse than what Chretien did from that point of view. Mulroney sucked up to Reagan, which was disgusting, but Chretien just ignored everything except anything that would enrich Liberal friends.

I do, however, respect Chretien for one thing: staying out of Iraq. To my mind, that is the only way he stands above Mulroney.

There is one other way. Lyin Brian left us over $400 billion in debt. Kim Cambell Brought down a budget with a $43 billion dollar deficit which she handed to Chretien. Chretien did pay off some of the debt.
