Missed by corrupt politicians all over.

[petergyt]

It's best not so speak ill of the dead, but, no, he will not be missed.

[yvonnehummel]

"he'll be dearly missed" - but not by me.

[thehellyousay]

mulroney will be dearly missed? by whom?

[DomRoy-wr]

I didn't know him personally, but few Canadians will miss Mulroney the hypocrite and the corrupt politician he was.

[Paca-ix]

He will not be missed at all. Every time we go grocery shopping there will be his damned GST to remind us.😂😂😂

[BruceLyster]

he will be missed about as much as you when you are Dead, Try not at all.

[Gryphyn]

Mulroney was a horrible PM. Not someone to look up to.

[traviscutler]

The fact that Maroney is giving advice to Ford and Ford's list of corporate cronyism and corruption tells you everything you need to know about Brian's

"He'll be dearly missed"
I doubt it.

[traviscutler]

He was a traitor to this country and sold us out with NAFTA which caused the literal destruction of the Canadian middle class, endless layoffs and I'm sure many deaths of despair and suicide as a result. He destroyed the future for us, our children, our grandchildren, and the great promise that was Canada. His commitment to corporations over Canadians is a legacy we will all suffer from for generations.
Unforgivable.

i dom't know about ford, but i liked his brother better!

Privatized Petro-Canada with no public consultation or vote. As a result, the majority of the oil sands shares are today foreign owned.

[paulahouse]

When are we going to miss you asking for a friend

[leadsled]

Corruption, fraud, murder is the way of our Politian's work. Mulroney was the poster boy.

[coolhandluke]

He won’t be dearly missed. He was a crook.

[mr.timjohnston]

hears where they all go wrong!!! WHEne the say all the shit he waass involved in NEVER MIND ITS FUC%^&* POLITICS!!!

[straightedgesteve]

Cool, but can we have a new Premier in Ontario already? This one hasn't been doing anything we want. In fact, he's been doing a lot of stuff we don't want. I didn't even vote for this guy - I voted for someone else - he shouldn't be allowed to do things that I disagree with. "Democracy" isn't really democratic, is it?

[mark_beastpriest]

Brian Mulroney, unlike Trudeau, knew when to step down. That's the one positive thing.

[marcelnowakowski]

Mulroney... somehow could not bribe Death with all his ill-gotten money, could he?
