Brian Mulroney funeral: Wayne Gretzky's full eulogy

[@4437RR]

Wayne's eulogy was not only the shortest, but the best for delivery. Not a piece of paper; not a pause or hmmm; just natural.

[@trevorcostin4408]

Gretzky you make our country Proud ! ❤️❤️

[@37BopCity]

Real fine eulogy by Wayne. He is definitely a class act and a great human being, not just the Great One in hockey.

[@wandaenman5630]

From the guy who defected to the USA the moment he could for the $$$$$. Seems slightly disingenuous.

Nothing about the bribery money MULRONEY lied about for years .....and eventually admitted to taking. No thanks When it is time for TURDEAU to kick the bucket ....the politicians-of-the-day will be heaping the same praises and accolades on him ....even though TURDEAU has proven to be the worst PM Canada has ever had to endure.

I'm glad that he pointed out that former Liberal, Conservative and Progressive Conservative prime ministers came together to honour the late former prime minister. We do have common values. The theatre and spectacle of politics shouldn't be greater than the importance of public life.
