It truly is a sad commentary that individuals one would have to agree are well educated, relatively intelligent would involve themselves in such unsavory activities that we have seen Mr. Chretien and Mr. Mulroney undertake. What drives people like this--who are daily in the public spotlight--to think these activities will remain hidden. I would concur that Mr. Mulroney and his cash dealings are truly unbelievable. So Mr. Mulroney --clearly a flawed individual, with an ego the size of the old NWT is exposed. It actually overshadows the good he did. He championed massive change in Canada. The GST-despised at the time---is leading edge. Try working and living in the U.S. where this reform has not occurred. Its a nightmare for everyone. In addition no one can dispute the benefits of NAFTA on the Canadian economy. Meech Lake for all its detractors was an honest attempt to move the country forward. We need bold thinkers. It truly is a crazy world we live in!
