I'm not a conservative, but I love listening to Brian Mulroney. I wish our leaders today would take a few pages from his book Very classy.

[@gerrigleason4877]

[@lfreezin3640]

7:05 I do like this answer, because it speaks to the fact that long term value is not always seen immediately

[@avaleneallen7250]

As far as PMs go, this man had a way with words.

[@jamesanthony5681]

Pierre Trudeau was pretty good.

[@mightierthanever2264]

[@majorsmythe1]

Mulroney with the knockout blow. Never forget it. Won the election with that.

[@davidbanks566]

7:29 The five second pregnant pause before Brian proceeded to avoid George's question is in itself his answer.

[@EquestrianEdwards]

This was one of our more "can do" prime ministers. People hated him because he did the right thing for Canada. I admired him for years. However, I am not pleased with his dishonourable behaviour after leaving office. I threw out his book.

[@Godzilla52]

Brain did inherit quite a big mess from the Trudeau government and the country did have a tough time implementing the much needed institutional reforms that were necessary to keep the country on track. If he stayed in office another term, there's no doubt that he would have been congratulated instead of Chretien for fixing the economy and creating the surplus after the economic wasteland that was the 70s and 80s. The Canada US trade Agreement and the GST were monumental in helping Canada's economy recover and helping the government lower it debts and deficits. Chretien in comparison didn't really overturn any of Mulroney's polices, but on the contrary he extended them by increasing the GST (something he ran on removing) and creating NAFTA to replace the Canada U.S Trade agreement. He was also allot more moderate than Reagan or Thatcher (two politicians I'm not particularly found of) and was a very pragmatic PM.

[@levedia]

He is a fraud. He would of not fixed canada. His living room sofas was 750000$ . Man is a fraud.

[@micharsenault5687]

I don't agree with his politics, but he does have honor and class.

[@roder51]

+Michael Imhoff Arsenault You just won Moron of the year award.

[@user-yd6sj3pe4j]

I know this anchor he did interviewed one of the top notch actresses from India . But her background from Telugu But Tamil films industry give a chance

[@Yourismouter]

there's a show called Canada's next prime minister? WTF is this country becoming?! no wonder Trudeau got into power, and people like Mulroney, Harper, and Chreten.

[@TheGina7400]

A few jabs towards Justin Trudeau in the first few minutes. Justin was leader when this was taped but Brian knew he would be soon enough with Justin's popularity.

[@bnkundwa]

A big family

[@rollie3383]

True Brian but Harper inherited a 100 million dollar surplus from Paul Martin Harper sure messed that up

[@MapleSyrupPoet]

[@gloiven]

george i met you twice. you are the next ghian on the steps of whole foods.

[@thebacond3626]

did he say "redefine treachery"

[@evanshiong3557]

After Biden was inaugurated, Trump retired to Palm Beach Florida. And Brian’s been a resident there since 2003. Looks like Trump’s his neighbor now lol

[@saffroneallen]

Extremely "diplomatic" way he had about him speaking about the current PM. And I also caught all the jabs at Justin Trudeau. "Young and popular" doesn't matter. And when he hit his talking point about the deficit he inherited he never said Pierre Trudeau, just Mr Trudeau leaving us to naturally connect it to Trudeau Jr. I don't support either party but those were some 1st class veiled attacks/refusal to attack the man in charge answers to those ?s. Man knows how to talk, I'll give him that.

[@pendorran]

Justin Trudeau wasn't in Parliament yet when this interview was broadcast.

[@micharsenault5687]

@dharma099 The Airbus affair kickbacks definitely destroyed his honor. All he has left is eloquence.

[@Phantomplayz]

Is that a maple leaf or the star of David pinned on his suite??

[@alexandermarshall880]

thats an order of canada pin

[@Seekarr]

Is this guy related to the big chinned Emperor Charles V? I know Canada is a Monarchy.

[@jamesanthony5681]

A monarchy? Yes, Justin Trudeau is Canada's 25th King.

[@ronmailloux9370]

brown baggng brian

[@roder51]

Is this audience paid to cheer and clap?

[@FitnessByMatt]

He is a very eloquent speaker. I am only relearning about Mulroney now, as I was a child when he was in office, but to answer your question: people forget.

[@CJCappella]

The presenter should know etiquette well enough not to reach out and shake hands, unless they initiate it first...

[@Yobbie72]

He's not the Queen of England, he's a former prime minister. The host is welcoming him to his show. This is fine.

[@CJCappella]

C R - the handshaking stuff should’ve taken place beforehand. Considering Mulroney is socially superior, my first comment still stands.

[@Yobbie72]

Christopher Cappella Actually, in this context he is inferior, because he is the guest on this man's show. And as for the whole question, it's redundant because we're not talking about royalty here, and the entire purpose of a handshake is to express a certain equality and that you have come in peace. It was designed to show that you weren't holding a weapon in your hand.

[@CJCappella]

@@Yobbie72 -- I said socially...

[@marktep1225-xh2qh]

What a sham!!

[@user-zr6pl6nb6z]

I'm a small-c conservative and can't stand Mulroney.
