My country lost a true statesman this week.
Brian Mulroney served as Canada’s 18th Prime Minister from 1984 to 1993.
Canadian politics have changed drastically since the Mulroney era, and over my lifetime. Certainly the Conservative Party Mulroney once led has eroded to the point where my father’s type of conservatism no longer exists.
Depending on which side of the political spectrum you reside, opinions of the man’s legacy will differ. His accomplishments, however, on the global, social, and environmental scale are all worthy of note.
Mulroney cared about Canada.
Our country is better off from his presence.
Rest in peace.
Brian Mulroney
