I was a child when #Mulroney made the deal with the devil, and even the #Tory side of the family thought it was a bad idea, but they still voted Tory in the next election, and Tory until MacKay stabbed them in the back and merged with the Reform party (creating the #CPC).

Now the USA has #Project2025 and are implementing it as fast as they can, and the rest of the country says they are surprised.

If they are this stupid, can we really trust them?

#Mulroney and #Chretien were behind our systemic under-investment in social #housing and #coops.

Mulroney's cabinet ministers tried to restrict access to abortions.

Mulroney's government increased the prices of pharma drugs.

Mulroney's government deserves no respect. And even though #Polievre blames that government for today's problems, make no mistake, he will exacerbate the Exact. Same. Problems.

Just saw a news piece on the funeral for former 🇨🇦 PM Brian #Mulroney. All positive, people talking about how he recognized groups and countries, how he had a human touch.

He was also a neoliberal, like Thatcher and Reagan. A major reason for Canada's economic and inequality problems of today.

Let's not accidentally rewrite history by being polite. Mulroney is now burning in hell. Remember, if you respect a person, you're creating respect for their legacy!

jacobin.comDing Dong, Former Canadian PM Brian Mulroney Is DeadCanada’s former Conservative prime minister Brian Mulroney reshaped the country with a mix of free trade enthusiasm and privatization. Lionized in his passing by Canada’s press, his legacy of undermining the country’s working classes shouldn’t be whitewashed.

#Mulroney was also guilty of the classic #GlassCliff treatment of Kim Campbell.

He simultaneously set a prominent woman up for abject failure, and robbed anyone of the opportunity to be the celebrated and successful first female prime minister of Canada in the future.

He gave misogynists a generation worth of opportunities to say "well we tried a woman once, and we saw how that worked out."

Muere a los 84 años Brian #Mulroney, el último de los Progresistas Conservadores (en #Canadá tenía sentido), el hombre que, como primer ministro, convenció a los canadienses de las bondades del libre comercio, pero cuyo fracaso en el intento de contentar al independentismo quebequés (su provincia natal) y al resto del país al mismo tiempo acabaría llevando a un segundo referéndum en Quebec y a la pirotécnica implosión de su partido en las elecciones de 1993
