Very true! The company I worked for closed and moved to Mexico for cheap labour.

You are correct.

Oy Vey! How else are Gods chosen people gonna suck all the wealth out of the Canadian economy?

Free trade crippled Canadian economic independence. USA can pop a tariff on us any time they want and we fold to what ever demands they are inclined to make. Including dictating our trade policy with anyone else like China.

And took money in brown envelopes and put them in his home office safe without declaring the money as income. When he was caught on this, he got his lawyer to negotiate a settlement with the CRA, saying, "That's between my lawyer and Revenue Canada," Mulroney said, as if he never instructed his lawyer to cut the absolute best possible deal with the feds

Oy vey! Stop noticing!

How ?

Dont forget, he sold Canada to China with FIPA!

He also opened the floodgates to 3rd world 'immigration'

It's never discussed but he also instituted the policy of permanent mass immigration in the late 80s, which every government has continued.

That means more money for CBC

I just came for the comments I turn down the volume and just read the comments😂

That era I rather not remember. However I recall many sayings rhyming with Mulroney and he ended what was the 'Progressive Conservative Party' the most ridiculous name

He doubled this countries deficit.

Justin Trudeau sold Canada to China.

He empowered Canadians to sell and prosper.

Oy vey! Fact checkers.. Yes... this man right here!

Ya the rich sold the futer of the middle class to prosper at the expense of canada's identity.

@@bluecollartradesman715 Yes... sell out to the PRC. Why else did he sit on the advisory boards of several PRC corporations?

I agree. And he was not a conservative. He was a laurential elite just like jt.

Surpassed only by Justin Trudeau for most hated prime minister ever.

Rob them. Do you remember the thousands and thousands the he received in paper bags stored them in his safety boxes hiding them and when the Justice system found this he said “I did not know that I need to declare them.😡what can you expect from a CON servative.

ruin Canada

You're not ours.

Go HOME!

Point taken. Whatever side of the political fence you are on. Nafta was his legacy. To this day it was and is controversial

He will ONLY be missed by family and no one else.

because the Politicians need flah flah money and they want to make you poorer

Probably because we still like having services?

@@Guitarisforgrins yeah because there were no services before GST...

@@bradldwyer7842 Because we were paying the same tax, by a different name and hidden in the price.

Let's not forget the trade agreement! He was a traitor to this country and sold us out with NAFTA which caused the literal destruction of the Canadian middle class, endless layoffs and I'm sure many deaths of despair and suicide as a result. He destroyed the future for us, our children, our grandchildren, and the great promise that was Canada. Unforgivable.

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.

@@Godzilla52NAFTA benefitted certain industries and Mexico in the long run. The GST exists whilst Pierre Polievre barks about axing and one tax/levy. Watch Frank Zappa discuss the what Democrats and Republicans are after Reagan

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.

TRUPRICK is now claiming that crown

GST was needed to help pay massive debts rung up by Trudeau. It took next 4 PMs to continue the effort Mulroney started, and then we got another Trudeau...

The gst was a correct and sound policy.

@verne9389GST was not needed. As soon as GST was introduced the whole economy crashed, From 1990 to 1994 ( the year I left for BC ) I remember seeing just one construction crane in Toronto. Mulroney was one of Canada's biggest enemies.

Wrong. He got us the first step out of the mess left by Pierre Trudeau in 1984. It took Chretien, Martin and Harper to finish fixing the mess. Now Trudeau Jr has us back in a black hole.

@billdaverne9389 nafta deal is the worst trade deal in the History of trade ..

Really? I don't recall houses costing $1M for a shack or a box of cereal coating $7.

Actually no it was Pierre Trudeau who got us in the mess but Mulroney was still corrupt. Do you not recall that Bag of Cash from a German businessman?

​@@billdaverne9389 are you 12 ? Seriously this guy was a pure criminal and everyone who was around then knows it

Lets see know Justin Trudeau's net worth went from about 10 million before he was PM to 97 million. Who is the bag of cash PM.

He is not revered by many, if any. Just look at the comments here....

He died show some respect.

I'd rather pay 7% GST than 23% on Trudeau's Carbon Tax !!!!!!!!!!!!!

newtwatney8701..ya, but you forget or have no idea that at the time there was a 13% federal tax hidden in a lot of products that we all bought. The federal tax was never shown because it was buried into the retail price of many, many products. So, I would have rather paid 7% tax, than 13% tax on many products!!!!!!!

No he inherited the fractures left by Trudeau.

He did a smattering of good things: Nunavut, anti-apartheid, disabled access. But he did a million more reprehensible things.

Nothing like trudeau has done

Translation: "I voted for Mulroney but the consequences are Trudeau's fault.'' 🤡

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.

Grow up

Whoah why would you wish death on someone you’re a grown man saying that.

If it was such a great deal, why did an arms dealer have to bribe BM $300k in brown paper bags in cash overseas to push it through?

@@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.

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.
