Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 бер 2024
- Former prime minister Brian Mulroney died at the age of 84 on Thursday, Feb. 29. Mulroney, Canada’s 18th prime minister, governed from 1984-1993 and oversaw the signing of NAFTA and international treaties on acid rain. ‘The West Block’ host Mercedes Stephenson speaks with Frank McKenna, the former N.B. premier and former Canadian ambassador to the U.S., about Mulroney’s legacy.
Plus, the federal government tabled its long-awaited online harms bill, C-63, legislation that seeks to make the internet safer for children and crack down on hateful content. Stephenson is joined by Justice Minister Arif Virani who addresses criticisms that the online harms bill is government overreach and impedes on free speech.

The JustUs system works exactly as its administration intended.
Sold off half of Canada’s passenger railway with almost 3000 jobs gone, brought in NAFTA with no public referendum destroying Canadian manufacturing and sending the good paying jobs overseas, and privatized Petro Canada leaving our oil sands foreign owned.
That’s his legacy.
Free Trade has been a failure for decades, even when we are right, we lose to the USA. Now trade is not even free between provinces. The feds saw new ways to tax goods within our own borders. Thanks Brian.
The epitome of discrimination:
“They are extremists who don’t believe in science, they’re often misogynists, also often racists. It’s a small group that muscles in, and we have to make a choice in terms of leaders, in terms of the country. Do we tolerate these people?”
Justin Trudeau
The GST should be renamed the MST “Mulroney sales Tax”in his honour 😂
Not much good I can say about Mulroney, after bring in the GST, which wasn`t and still isn`t popular, he left Canada to live in the States.... Hmmm.
The "Robust" Digital Safety Commissioner should be a qualified lawyer and not some elected official who is granted extraordinary powers that can be abused to the determent of public safety and rights !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Legacy ? As in CRIMINAL ?!
PM of New Brunswick for surgery went to United States,because he doesn't believe Canada health care system and same time Canadian suffering for waiting list of Surgery 😂 it is like a joke😂.
Brian Mulroney’s legacy was sending Canada into tail spin!!!
Book ends of not finding that there was any organized crime in Quebec and the Airbus scandal. Legacy? 😂
Great anecdote from Joe Clark! BTW, Clark's senior advisors raved about him when he was minister of External Affairs. Clark listened.
Who cares?
China Chin - ever remembered for taking on Seniors in his first year as PM . . . . . . and losing. Ever remembered (his missus as well) in the book "On the Take' and the 14 Pantechnicons filled with 'possessions' when leaving 24 Sussex. (If Mulroney don't sue, its gotta be true!). Ever remembered for his acceptance of $300,000 in cash from Karl-Heinz and his self-righteous attempted Tax Dodge by 'reserving' rather than declaring it as income. Ever remembered for opening up Canada's wealth-producing resources for the Chinese to purchase. Ever remembered for his ready tendency for extravagant rhetoric
("Mr M seems overly fond of the adjective" - Lady Thatcher). Ever remembered with Peter Newman's legally UNchallenged "The Mulroney Tapes" . . . . . and that's for starters!
I remember that clip where the Grandma lady was berating him to his face for wanting to mess with seniors pensions. After that he claimed seniors pensions from the government was a "sacred trust".

Conspiracy Theory
His Tinpot Dictator, His Turdship, Justso, asked for Malarkey to fall on his sword to help create Media Content to cover and push under his latest Scandal of Security Incompetence at the Bio Lab that he suppressed
Brian did thinking Canada needed another "Hero", and here we are.
He will be remembered for the GST and thats about it.
Don’t forget: he also sold off half of Canada’s passenger railway with almost 3000 jobs gone, brought in NAFTA with no public referendum destroying Canadian manufacturing and sending the good paying jobs overseas, and privatized Petro Canada leaving our oil sands foreign owned.
Every time I see a RCMP officer wearing a religious clown costume I think of Brian.
he's dead and he left us we the damn GST.
One of the best bribe takers in Canadian history second only to JT
2nd Worst PM, only Herr Harper has a Large Lead on this guy
Supreme Leader Trudeau is the worst, followed by Mulroney
What did he do for the homeless? 😂
Comments are dropping faster than Mulroney.
Comment deleting cowards.
Today’s Conservative party has fallen a long way. Mulroney wasn’t great, but at least he had a coherent vision for Canada. Now it’s just yell stupid insults and say anything which gets a few clicks.
Sold out Canadians to the US.
Took too many brown paper bags.
🤗❤️🌹👍👍👏
Look up the Oka Crisis 1990 if u want to know what I remember mulroney for
Looking back Canada felt he was going away Canada but now that I am older and understand the trade agreement he made we can be thankful for his contribution to this country. He came from a humble background like most Canadians and we felt close to him. I remember him as being very approachable and let’s be humble in our tribute to him. He was a good man, father and husband. He was one of our greatest Prime Minister. He had time to help the other prime minister with his advice and expertise. Rest in heavenly peace Brian
I haven't been this sad and upset since Ed Broadbent died. When I heard Mulroney passed away, I called my psychiatrist to increase my medications and took a bereavement day off work to mourn. As he was so cherished, I don't think the country can move on.
Ed was a good man who cared about this country and other people
Mulroney was a traitor to this country and sold us out with NAFTA, it caused the literal destruction of the Canadian middle class, endless layoffs. I'm sure many deaths of despair and suicide as a result of Mulroney's deal to sell out Canadian workers. He destroyed the future for us, our children, our grandchildren and the great promise that was Canada.
Unforgivable.

Mulroney was a technocrat who paid serious attention to science, scientists and expert opinion.
LMFAO
GO IN PEACE MR. MULRONEY. WE LOVE YOU. THANK YOU FOR EVERTHING.
what about the GST? vote. NDP
oh yes. the gst in the carbon tax supported by the ndp?
Yes. For anti-science, anti-expert populists, voting for the NDP is a good choice. After all, the NDP is extremely critical of the socio-economic outcomes of the Nordic social democracies in northern Europe.
We need to adopt the same tax system as the province of Alberta.
A great and wonderful canadian
Yes, but we're talking about Lyin' Brian Mulroney here, not Tommy Douglas!
@@verilyheldWhen I see a big pile of manure; I never dig around to see which piece is the best. My opinion of gov staff is so low, its impossible for any of them to make me think even less of them!
Rip 🪦
mr gst
he's dead and he left us we the damn GST.
