30-years ago today, the Progressive Conservatives swept across Canada in a remarkable election that ushered in Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.
This government did a lot of small things wrong, and Mr. Mulroney wasn’t the most popular of Prime Ministers. However, he and his government got a few big things right: Canada – US Free Trade leading to a North American agreement, GST helping to eliminate deficit spending, an enviable environmental record, leading the call for the end to apartheid and projecting Canada favourably on the world stage.
Happy Anniversary Brian Mulroney and the Progressive Conservatives of 1984!
