SpeedFlex27 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 (edited) Not the greatest PM in Canadian history. He brought in the free trade agreement, with the US & Mexico, saw the CF 18 contract given to Bombardier in Montreal rather than Boeing in Winnipeg which led to the rise of Western Populism & the Reform Party with the slogan, "The West Wants In". He brought in the GST, the Meech Lake Accords & had a few scandals in his second term that caused the Liberals to come back... Certainly Jean Chretien's career was resurrected from the ashes because of it. May he Rest in Peace. Edited March 1 by SpeedFlex27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 I only see Al's posts when someone quotes them, but honestly half of what he said about Mulroney makes me very glad he was PM. And because I don't want even MORE demerits, I'm going to end the Poli talk at that ... GCJenks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence Boeing & not Bristol Arerospace. Noeller was 6 when Mulroney was PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Ronnie King of The Stampeders (such an unfortunate name) passed away. Lotta hits from that group over the years... have always loved Minstrel Gypsy and, of course, Sweet City Woman was huge. They're apparently going to continue with previously planned "Final" tour....
