I think the reason for the Conservative Party's devastating defeat in the 1993 election was Mulroney's failure to balance the budget and pay down the debt. One of the main issues he ran on in the 1984 election was balancing the budget. Instead he broke that promise and followed in Pierre Trudeau's footsteps by handing out patronage appointments to his political friends. To pay for all these new government jobs the government had to continue running deficits year after year. Mulroney inherited a federal deficit from Trudeau of 38 billion dollars and an overall debt of 200 billion. When he left office in 1993 the deficit was 43 billion and the overall debt more than doubled to 450 billion. It's not hard to understand how the party that won 211 seats in the 1984 election was reduced to 2 seats in 1993.
Mulroney Balanced the Operating Budget in 1987 and halved the deficit between 1984-1990. The only reason Canada was incuring debt between 1987-1996 was because of debt servicing costs inherited by Pierre Trudeau (less than 10% of all debt incurred between that period was from Mulroney's government). If not for the early 90s recession, the federal budget would have been balanced without austerity by the early/mid 90s. The issue was that the recession slowed growth and made the incremental approach untenable, which led Chretien/Martin to pursue austerity budgets.

Mulphoney wasn't a Conservative. He was a Laurential elite followung in the footsteps of another Laurentian Elite, Pierre Elliot Trudeau. Laurentians don't have loyalty to anyone or any party. They put on a blue or red suit depending on which way the polical winds are blowing. Which is why I'm voting for Poilievre. The second I watched Mulphoney endores jt for a fourth term, I knew Poilievre wasn't a Laurentian Elite.

Politicians should never be famous. NAFTA allowed the open borders drug trade & devastated middle-class families, increasing or starting the opioid epidemic. RiP Mulroney
I totally agree with you. People don't want GST but where do they think social programs come from. They don't drop out of the sky. No doubt I'll get clobbered as a so-called socialist.
People really need to know history. Prior to the GST, Canada had a manufacturer's sales tax applied to pretty well all goods, products made in Canada. That hidden sales tax got as high as 13.5% on these manufactured goods in Canada. The cost was hiddenly passed on to Canadian consumers and made our manufacturers less competitive. The GST got rid of this MST, was a tax consumers could now see and many consumer goods were exempt, notably most food goods. I once drank the leftist tea of being anti -GST back in the day as most media spun half truths and lies on the GST. But it's a better consumption tax than the again at one time 13.5% manufacturers sales tax. We just need to get rid of income tax and replace all income taxes with an appropriate national sales tax that the GST is a harbinger of.
@@ushillbillies Yes GST was applied most consumer goods and services except basic food goods and such. But at now 5% , where as the hidden manufacturers sales tax was before being tossed out at 13.5% of most manufacturered goods sold in Canada. The thing is with a sales tax such as GST, we should and for the most part did get reductions in income tax. I support the phase out of all income taxes, to have the federal government change to taxation on sales of products and services. Taxing income is a disincentive to earn more income. A higher National sales tax on most goods with the exception of certain foods is better than income tax. We can cut out much of the taxation bureaucracy if we aim to eliminate income tax. As to low income persons and families we can use tax revenues from the sales taxes to give aid to lower income persons and families.
GST is a cash cow for the Fed Government. If Mulroney's successors wanted to do away with it, they would have done it by now. I'm sure you know this, but manufacturers (if any left in Canada) that pay GST on raw materials that are purchased that go into their end products, get that GST back from the government in the form of an INPUT TAX credit.
@@DigbyOdel-et3xx Eliminating income tax would sure be a great day for the country, if we ever have a Prime Minister with the courage and integrity to make such a revolutionary change. The most likely Canadian politician to bring in that legislation would have been former Alberta Premier Ralph Klein.
Chretien, an albatross for Canada who still demands respect for his questionable, but bold abuse of Canada. Mulroney's friendship with Trudeau Jr. and other liberal left characters do not do him any favours.
@@kennethjmcarthur2428 Let me try to educate you. Working for the Crown Attorney, and a top shelf Aviation Law Firm, I had more than enough of a close up look at Mulroney. He was a common thief who deserved jail, instead he lived the high life off the backs of Canadians with the elites. Oh, and that GST I've been paying every bloody day since??? My proudest moment, and the singular reason why every Canadian should love Chretien, is because he refused to join the US in an illegal war for oil which the US embarked upon for over 20 years, leading to a devastating loss, for soldiers, their families, not to mention the millions they murdered over there. Having been a military family on both sides since WWII, we certainly know what's what.
Do people know what this guy actually stood for??? For those that don't know, he was trying get the conservatives to accept the v@ccine mandates in the parliament and outside as well.
Brian Mulroney brought the war on drugs to Canada. All the newspapers at the time thought he was nuts. He hurt a lot of people through the war on drugs. I hate to see him romanticized. He was 32 years old when he married his wife Mila, who was 18. A journalist from the West Coast referred to him as “the jaw that walks like a man“. ✌️❤️

Politicians should never be famous.
NAFTA allowed the open borders drug trade & devastated middle-class families, increasing or starting the opioid epidemic.
RiP Mulroney
100% comments are really telling us what kind of a crook he was. Thanks folks!!!!
No lose here
He was so crooked.
He was the worst prime Minister of my life. I'm 68.
I am 70 the worst PM'S are Pierre Trudeau, Chretien and of course our current disaster JT.
Trudeau 1 & 2 are the worst by far.
@@jimjohnson9808 most of the rest of disagree with your anti-french bigotry, and with good reason. you're wrong.
@@thehellyousayWell said!!!
TRUPRICK is now claiming that crown
He was a criminal too lol that's why they like him
Man I'm partying when it's Trudeau's turn.
No fan of NAFTA but he was one of the few honest politians- we could do with someone like him - unfortunatly there seems to be a vacuum
I totally agree with you. People don't want GST but where do they think social programs come from. They don't drop out of the sky. No doubt I'll get clobbered as a so-called socialist.
Tributes or tribute? I send nothing to one of Canada's worse Prime Ministers almost sending Canada to a financial collapse.
He put lot people out of work and destroyed armed forces strength
Nothing like trudeau has done
So he began the fracture of the Canadian nation....
No he inherited the fractures left by Trudeau.
I never cared much about his leadership . Another liar and trader.
If he was so great, why haven’t I seen one nice comment about him or his time in office?
Tributes? For Lyin' Brian? To hell with him, and I hope he's there!
no tears for him i fancy
He was a crooked man, he was a crook !
haha.... and CBC allows comments for this ?
Theres no way that trudeau, after almost 8 years, has figured out how to stop umming
People really need to know history. Prior to the GST, Canada had a manufacturer's sales tax applied to pretty well all goods, products made in Canada. That hidden sales tax got as high as 13.5% on these manufactured goods in Canada. The cost was hiddenly passed on to Canadian consumers and made our manufacturers less competitive.
The GST got rid of this MST, was a tax consumers could now see and many consumer goods were exempt, notably most food goods.
I once drank the leftist tea of being anti -GST back in the day as most media spun half truths and lies on the GST.
But it's a better consumption tax than the again at one time 13.5% manufacturers sales tax. We just need to get rid of income tax and replace all income taxes with an appropriate national sales tax that the GST is a harbinger of.
GsT GOT APPLIED TO EVERYTHING..
Not just manufacturing , It was just another tax gouge
@@ushillbillies
Yes GST was applied most consumer goods and services except basic food goods and such. But at now 5% , where as the hidden manufacturers sales tax was before being tossed out at 13.5% of most manufacturered goods sold in Canada.
The thing is with a sales tax such as GST, we should and for the most part did get reductions in income tax. I support the phase out of all income taxes, to have the federal government change to taxation on sales of products and services. Taxing income is a disincentive to earn more income. A higher National sales tax on most goods with the exception of certain foods is better than income tax.
We can cut out much of the taxation bureaucracy if we aim to eliminate income tax.
As to low income persons and families we can use tax revenues from the sales taxes to give aid to lower income persons and families.
GST is a cash cow for the Fed Government. If Mulroney's successors wanted to do away with it, they would have done it by now.
I'm sure you know this, but manufacturers (if any left in Canada) that pay GST on raw materials that are purchased that go into their end products, get that GST back from the government in the form of an INPUT TAX credit.
@@DigbyOdel-et3xx Eliminating income tax would sure be a great day for the country, if we ever have a Prime Minister with the courage and integrity to make such a revolutionary change. The most likely Canadian politician to bring in that legislation would have been former Alberta Premier Ralph Klein.
I met Brian and his wife around 1983.I was a youth delegate for the PC party, along with 126 other youth.Great guy,great experience,thank you Brian!
Chretien, an albatross for Canada who still demands respect for his questionable, but bold abuse of Canada.
Mulroney's friendship with Trudeau Jr. and other liberal left characters do not do him any favours.
Yes, we should always be hyper partisans, without a modicum of common decency. Great point... 🙄
@@GuitarisforgrinsWhen its Trudeau, no bipartisan politics
@@tedlivermore6955 Yet, the Liberals are passing bills in a bipartisan way. Are ya daft?
He was less than conservative but a decent individual. He like others deserves nothing more just because he died.@@Guitarisforgrins
@@kennethjmcarthur2428 Let me try to educate you. Working for the Crown Attorney, and a top shelf Aviation Law Firm, I had more than enough of a close up look at Mulroney. He was a common thief who deserved jail, instead he lived the high life off the backs of Canadians with the elites. Oh, and that GST I've been paying every bloody day since??? My proudest moment, and the singular reason why every Canadian should love Chretien, is because he refused to join the US in an illegal war for oil which the US embarked upon for over 20 years, leading to a devastating loss, for soldiers, their families, not to mention the millions they murdered over there. Having been a military family on both sides since WWII, we certainly know what's what.
Yeah good riddance. He screwed us over, and lived a prosperous life that was longer than the national average- he had it good.
- From a Canadian.
Do people know what this guy actually stood for???
For those that don't know, he was trying get the conservatives to accept the v@ccine mandates in the parliament and outside as well.
not a fan. a million manufacturing jobs sold
Brian Bullroney lived 14 years too long.
Brian Mulroney brought the war on drugs to Canada. All the newspapers at the time thought he was nuts. He hurt a lot of people through the war on drugs. I hate to see him romanticized. He was 32 years old when he married his wife Mila, who was 18. A journalist from the West Coast referred to him as “the jaw that walks like a man“. ✌️❤️
He'll be missed... by someone, I'm sure.
Good. Riddance.
Grow up
Whoah why would you wish death on someone you’re a grown man saying that.
Tributes ???? more like piss on his grave . he took paper bag bribes then sued us for millions .
This "conservative" gets honoured and praised by liberals for creating GST.
This is a great example of all the poor leaders we had in this country. No one can beat who we have in the office now. Absolute corruption.
When I think of Brian Mulroney, I only think of one thing - the G.S.T. Thanks for helping impoverish Canadians, Brian.
No great loss. He created the biggest deficit in history up to that time. The clap was more popular than Lyin' Brian.
Entitlement at its best, same old same old as what we have now, same old same old, put an end to entitlement and consulting fees and kick backs, gifts to any and all political figures and civil servants...
