Former prime minister Brian Mulroney says he may have made some errors in judgment in his lifetime, but he isn't worried that the suggestion of impropriety in his dealings with Karlheinz Schreiber will affect his legacy.

Suggestion of impropriety??? I guess that means that he thinks it is alright for a prime minister to accept money in a brown paper bag. Mulroney's legacy is the biggest defeat ever that knocked the tories from a majority government to only 2 seats in the house.

Perhaps Mulroney doesn't realize you cannot tarnish that which has already been tarnished!!;-)

Since the P.C.s went down to just two seats, that must mean that Canadians generally thought Mulroney's legacy was something less than acceptable.

Mulroney doubts Schreiber affair will tarnish his legacy

Now Juan....I have to agree with Mulroney on this one.....how could that little matter possibly tarnish Mulroney's legacy???

It is so bad now only dining on kidnaped children in the basement could possibly tarnish his legacy any more........

Which is slightly unfair......and I can't stand the jackass.....but he did bring us NAFTA, and the GST, which allowed Martin the wiggle room to balance the budget, and he worked hard on the environmental portfolio, and the end of apartheit.......

While he run us so far into debt it was ridiculous, and led a government so wracked with corruption it too Jean the Don to make it look relatively good......

Lying Brian is no friend of mine....

Hey Colpy.....I voted for the bastard the first time around...;-)
I voted for the Liberals in his second election.....In the third I actively campaigned for the Liberals who looked like the only party who could win and breathed a sigh of relief when Mulroney was out.

Re: Former Prime Minister’s “Legacy”

Perhaps The Right Honourable Brian Mulroney P.C., C.C., G.O.Q., the 18th Prime Minister of Canada is correct.

At the end of the day, despite the enormous budgetary issues that the government had under the former prime minister’s leadership, one overarching part of his legacy remains the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax—I, for one, am very happy that the former prime minister used the extreme method that he did to pass the enabling legislation. (The Honourable the Senate of Canada would have rejected the legislation; so, the former prime minister advised Her Majesty The Queen of Canada to authorise the overload of the Senate’s membership with an extra eight Government senators to ensure the legislation’s passage.) Thanks to that tax, successive Governments were able to balance the books. (I won’t spend too much discussion on the fact that at present, Her Majesty’s Government for Canada has made a tremendous mistake by reducing that tax when it is having issues balancing its budgets.)

Legacy or no, the prime minister’s acceptance of those funds was improper. (However, there have been just-as-questionable events hanging as a black cloud over Mr. Mulroney’s successors in the prime ministership, so it wouldn’t do us any good to converse too deeply on it. The fact is, we are going to continue to have issues with integrity at the highest levels of the Office of the Prime Minister until we begin a massive campaign to decentralize power and return a good deal of decision-making and authority to the ministers and Government caucus. The prime minister should be a leader amongst equal ministers, and not a one-man Government show.)

Absolutely, completely dead-on.

You know, I have to say it.....there has not been a single Prime Minister in my political lifetime that I have liked or admired......in fact, most I have loathed.

Trudeau, Clark, Mulroney, Campbell, Chretien, are in the "loathe" catagory......

Turner was not in long enough for me to work up a good hatred......(neither was Campbell, but she was responsible for the Mulroney gun control law...)

Martin....well, "loathe" is slightly strong for him.......the guy was simply too pathetic to inspire that strong an emotion.........something like Clark, except Clark had a vindictive streak that, combined with his arrogant stupidity, pushed him over into "loathe".....

Harper? Well, I'm not happy with him.........he has done things I very seriously disagree with, he has failed me and his grassroots supporters in many ways......but most of it was done in desperate attempts to hold on to Conservative power......I want to see what he would do with a majority, I want to see him able, for 4 years, to unleash his vision for the nation, unfettered by the need to kiss the ass of the Opposition......let's give him a chance....then I can properly classify him. :)
