“Mulroney was not the best Prime Minister Canada ever had, but he was certainly better than both Trudeaus put together. By a LONG shot. “
Wrong ! This is why clueless “conservatives” always lose.
Muldoon doubled immigration over Pierre Trudeau levels.
Muldoon introduced the value added tax.
Muldoon rest-started the Quebec separation crisis by trying to give Quebec special status.
Muldoon took cash in a bag from a convicted arms dealer and briber.
Muldoon pushed Canada into NAFTA.
Muldoon pushed the Montreal Accord ban on R12, which was the first of the Greenhouse gas fake crises.
Muldoon did the 1991 gun control law which banned every pistol below 4 inches, by setting the barrel length at 100mm. Also 5 shot magazine limits on semi auto rifles, and 10 on pistols.
A liar, a douche, a crook, and not a conservative !
correction on the pistol barrel length.
They set the minimum length at 105mm and any pistol below became “Prohibited”. Four inches is 101.6 mm
Muldoon introduced the value added tax.

I don’t think Canada has ever had a tax called the ‘value added tax’.... What was in place in the era preceding Mulroney was the ‘federal sales tax’ and it was buried deep in the price of everything so that it couldn’t be seen. As I recall, what Mulroney did was that he made it visible and called it the GST (general sales tax).
Bottom line is that he didn’t introduce the tax... he took one that was hidden and made it visible. Is my memory correct on this?
