Looks like all the ex-PM's are getting their shots in

Brian Mulroney was and still is a great source of disappointment for me and for Canada. In one major misstep he destroyed Canadians faith in the "Progressive " Conservatives and opened the door for one of the most cowardly acts by a leader of a political party... the sellout of the PC Party by Peter MacKay to the Reform Party thereby giving Canada its most inept and corrupt 9 years of governance.

His statements in this interview, while accurate, does not make up for giving Canada Stephen Harper...

Brian Mulroney gives Stephen Harper piece of his mind

OTTAWA—Brian Mulroney is pulling no punches on the 30th anniversary of his historic majority election win, chastising Stephen Harper on everything from foreign affairs to the prime minister’s spat with Canada’s top judge.
 
In an interview with CTV’s Power Play to mark the anniversary, the former prime minister sternly rebuked Harper for his public spat this year with Beverley McLachlin, chief justice of the Supreme Court of Canada.
 
“You don’t get into a slagging contest with the chief justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, even if you thought that he or she was wrong,” Mulroney said in the interview broadcast on Thursday. “You don’t do that.”
 
The spat centred on the failed appointment of Federal Court judge Marc Nadon to the Supreme Court. Harper drew stiff criticism for suggesting McLachlin had acted inappropriately by trying to flag potential problems with the appointment.
 
Mulroney’s criticisms of the government’s approach on other issues were equally harsh, particularly on foreign affairs and the Conservatives’ tense relations with the UN.
