    This article is a fairly poor explanation of why he was absolutely terrible.

    The anti-abortion issue was huge. When Morgentaler got the existing law struct down, Mulroney tried to take women’s rights thirty years farther back.

    Free Trade was potentially beneficial, but it was structured from the outset to help companies at the detriment to citizens and social services. In the end, the US got most of the benefit from it anyway.

    Economically, he followed the same trickle-down, privatize everything bullshit that defined Reaganomics and Thatcherism.

    He sold us out for 30 pieces of silver, and sanctimoniously lectured us on ‘integrity.’
