  4. Opinion: Pierre #Poilievre spurned Brian #Mulroney’s advice, and is paying the price - The Globe and Mail #CanPoli theglobeandmail.com/opinion/ar “Canada’s 18th prime minister, who built a big-tent Tory coalition and twice swept Quebec, also offered this advice to Mr. Poilievre: “I told him you have to fish where the fish are… You can only win elections in Canada from the centre.” (1/3)

  5. I love Canadian state funerals. I love that we, the people, pay the state media to spend a bunch of our money pretending to us that someone spent his life doing things *for* us, when in fact he did them *to* us. #mulroney #cbc #media #canada

  6. @mirijb2 the way out of this will be for the federal government to re-enter home construction in a major way, reversing #Mulroney 's decision of 1992. Given the timing, it will probably be a Conservative that does it. The taxpayer will bear the burden. I see no other way.

    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!

  9. CW: CA Politics, passing of public figure

    So former PM Brian #Mulroney passed away yesterday and there hasn't been this much coverage of a public figure on Canadian mainstream media since the Queen died.

    He is certainly a notable figure in our history, being the last PM to have achieved over 50% of the popular vote, architect of NAFTA and being instrumental in ending apartheid in South Africa and establishing global environmental regulations that successfully contained the problems of acid rain and ozone layer depletion (imagine a "conservative" wanting to conserve the environment these days!)

    OTOH he set the nation on a path towards mass privatization and dismantling of cooperative and other non-market housing initiatives. The reduction of corporate regulation has proven quite damaging, and while intentions were probably good the failed Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords showed a lack of concern for First Nations and divided the nation leading to the rise of western populism and Quebec separatism...

  10. #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."

  12. 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

  13. CW: Long thread/eof

    The art of finding out what's true or prudent didn't die with the #Reagan Revolution (or the discount Canadian version, the #Mulroney Malaise). The truth is knowable. Doing stuff is possible. Things don't have to be on fire.
