Probably the most loathed man in Canada.
Certain to be after the publication of a new book - Look at the article in the Globe & Mail (Can't link due to f-bombs - hey it is a direct quote from the book...)
Excerpt of what his FRIENDS have to say:
"Former Ontario premier David Peterson, who stood by Mr. Mulroney through all the constitutional wrangling, says he truly likes the former prime minister, "But to be perfectly honest, Peter, I would never trust or respect him. He is a pathological liar. In fairness, I don't believe he knows he's lying. . . . Oh God, you couldn't take anything he said at face value. His essential Achilles heel is his baloney.""
On the issue of political patronage appointments:
"A secret memorandum that passed between the Progressive Conservative leader and future deputy prime minister Erik Nielsen on May 25, 1984, containing details of party appointments -- a patronage plan carefully laid out weeks before the leadership debate where Mr. Mulroney destroyed then-prime-minister John Turner with his famous "You had an option, sir" lecture on this very topic."
Oy and Vey!
Serious dirt by one of the most seriously dirty politicians in Canadian history. |
