How he showed his face in public after all the scandals….
Another on a long list of self-serving, self-titled leaders.
The den of thieves protecting their own.
Not a tear shall I cry for this crook
Right?!? The coverage of him Is doing too much !
I've not heard a good word about him other than the people who get paid to praise or his family. 😂
He's the reason Canada still has to spoon feed kweebeck.
I worked at the Iron Ore Company of Canada in the late '80s after Mulroney was gone. The resounding feeling from the company staff and the community was downright hatred for Mulroney to the point where when Mulroney was campaigning, a delegation met his plane on the tarmac and told him not to get off of the plane.
I'm sure his family will miss him and he had supporters, but his political record and ethics were not to be commended.
Just like lawyers, they’re only good when there are 6 feet under. Doesn’t anybody remember when he took a $200k cash payment? Was that wrong? Oh and he Sued got more. F in crook.
I’m really getting tired of these non stop Mulroney items , condolences to his family but this is all verging on rose-coloured stories when you actually examine his record as a leader
Leader of what?
What a joke . Mulroney was a piece of garbage . Typical Liberal politician
Trudeau father and son worse than Mulroney CBC so biased lost the confidence of the people.
....nothing like accepting those cold hard stax in brown manilla envelopes, tho, eh?
Bingo. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty.
I am a conservative but was no fan, he will be remembered for implementing the GST. And yes, a crook. But now he is dead and they want to make him a saint.
The GST was an offset. Here's what happened. Canada's exports were not competitive and employment was suffering. Canada had a 21% corporate tax on exports that Mulroney targeted a the culprit. Mulroney had a majority in parliament and leveraged that and cancelled the 21% corporate export tax and brought in the 5 % GST as a revenue neutral offset. Corporate Canada responded and exports now much more competitive boomed as did employment
Opposition Leader Jean Chretien Liberal leader tried to make hay at Mulroney's expense and promised to cancel the 5% GST if elected. He subsequently defeated Mulroney at the next election but soon went on to say he could not keep his promise to cancel that GST The bottom line is the revenue offset set up by Mulroney was working well as intended and the export economy and employment was booming also as intended.
LOL reading the comments I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who remembers what Mulroney actually did while in office. It pisses me off to no ends to see everyone come out and say nice things about him now that he's up and died. I say good riddens and it's too back the crook didn't kick the bucket back in the early 1980's before he brought in the GST.
Does he have any pics of Mulroney accepting that 300k bribe?
I met the Mulroney’s several times due to my work, and I have to say they were the nicest people you’d ever want to meet. When Bill spoke how they made you feel like you were the only person in the room, he was spot on.
How about personal stories from the Canadians who were left to suffer because of Mulroney's austerity measures that saw funding to pretty much all low income programs cut?
Yes...Canadian government should not cut anything....just printing money like Justin Trudeau.
I certainly do not agree with all of former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's politics. It's difficult, if not impossible, to agree with anyone's politics. But I believe that Mr. Mulroney did the best that he could and firmly believed in his political convictions. Was he a crook? He probably was. He's a politician; so what do you expect.
None the less I believe that Brian Mulroney was and is a decent respectable human being and a darn good husband and father. I can never say such things about Justin Trudeau.
I agree with Jean Chretien; Mulroney & Chretien are political opponents, but not enemies.
As for Justin Trudeau; I personally will always be Justin's life long enemy.
My heart felt condolences to the Mulroney family.
And thank you CBC for this program with Bill McCarthy.
You sound educated. Mulroney illegally smuggled some $300k in cash across the border. Trudeau didn’t.
Yes ! Justin is so terrible I actually miss Mulrooney.
My sympathies go to the family, please place all donations in a brown Manilla envelope , all taxes will be paid if we remember.
Traitor
Any photos taken of PM Mulroney and Karlheinz Schreiber ?
Any photos of him taking cash bribes in brown paper bags?
Personal photographer. Lol. Probably made 3 times as much as the average working stiff for doing next to nothing
Did he happen to get a photo of him accepting a 100 thousand dollar bribe.
Why should we even care about this guy?
Just another corrupt politician.
Mulroney was such a sleazy guy. But he redeemed himself in my eyes by supporting BDS against South Africa, helping overthrow the apartheid regime. In Spite of American pressure. The Justin PP Singh Axis of submission do not have that backbone.
GST...TAX GUY..
Sincere condolences to his loved ones but least we forget…Brian Mulroney tried to do to Canada what Reagan did to the United States; we working class folk were all really just peasants to him.
close down al of our industry and sent it to china, I guess he got a pocket full of money on this one
U Mr. Brian
Can anyone name a prime minister that didn't have zero morals! Time for legal accountability at all levels of government! Starting with our current right honorable prime minister!
WOW.. Total trust !
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.
Back around the time of the Meech Lake accord era, I wrote to Prime Minister Mulroney. I had ideas and such but I was a bit salty towards him and his government at the time. Not rude but some of my thoughts we're again a bit salty.
Well I wrote him in like November of '89 if I remember well. I got a reply on official Prime Ministerial letterhead which was professional and polite. I know he probably did not write it. Maybe he read the reply, who knows.
But I also got sent to me an official Prime Ministerial Christmas Card, gold embossed with the Mulroney family portrait in the card. I still have it with the letter today and value it.
My respect for Prime Minister Mullroney was better by such even if I still had some political issues with him back then. Yes, I was more politically left back then. Thankfully over the years, life experiences and understanding took me away from some of my goofy lefty views.🤔
RIP, Prime Minister Mulroney and my condolences to the Mulroney family .🙏✝️🙏
When he disclosed the untaxed 375,000 dollars he had hidden in safety deposit box did that change your opinion of him.
Goofy leftist views HUH. Congratulations. Some never recover.
He's Former waffen ss. legion of st George!
Justin is so horrible we all miss Brian Mulrooney.
Great video and guest.
RS. Canada
Why are you not covering one of Trudeau's many recent scandals?
Tax funded journalism. Food banks. All adds up
And also, another not to mention, only 17% of federal government revenue comes from tax payers. That amount was about 12% when Mulroney was PM. Tax dollars are not going to as many things as certain clowns think. Majority of revenue spent by Federal Government comes from trade agreements, exports, tourism, etc.
@@Liberal_From_Prairies689 any taxes going to journalism is too much.

Yes...Canadian government should not cut anything....just printing money like Justin Trudeau.
The most significant PM in our lifetime.
Second worst PM in Canadian history. JT takes first.
Least I said something good
other then Justin trudeau he's the worst
Last of the Great Canadian Conservative leaders. Stopped voting Conservative after he left Politics.
TRUE although I did not agree with all of his policies. I do believe that he loved the country and did his best to serve it well. I sure miss the more upbeat atmosphere in those days, thanks to his good old Irish charm; his warm and upbeat personality. He was a relatable man in so many ways and we missed him for that. He may have been the last PM who made us "all" proud to be Canadian. (even when we disagreed!) RIP PM Mulroney. Condolences to Mrs M & the family.
Rip Brian that's being prime minister all u did for canadian when u were in office dedication, proud to be canadian, how u help all canadians rich and the poor, and at your end of your life, when u knew it was almost your time..😂thank u I 🫡
I wonder, many years down the road, maybe Trudeau's photographer will recall the time they planted a Nzi flag at the Ottawa trucker convoy.
Ñumber one for Sure will be missed
Hairbus scandals
As a 33 years photographer myself here in montreal I full time job as a mechanical designering for a pulp and paper company Valmet Dominion in Lachine, Montreal of 2,000 workers we fabritated paper machines and one must be in Newfounland. So in 1988-9 prime minister Mulroney came down to Lachine Montreal to have a day visit so my boss ask me to be the photograher of the day. I don’t know if photographer Bill McCathy would remember the visit if he was there. Day shift was 700 hounded workers.. after the visit he told the company to find better way to produce paper because our industry creates pollution in the rivers. No help from the government the company closed and 2,000 workers some were in their mid 50s and couldn’t find work in the experience they had.. I was there for 7 years ❤️🩹😢
