Muldoon's tears
Although I wish Canada could leave the 1980s in the distant past, I have to say I am in awe of former prime minister Brian Mulroney's mendacity. It's not just the theatrics, which are fantastic. It's how invested he is in them. I think he totally believes that it was okay to not admit during questioning in 1996 that he got money from German-Canadian businessman Karlheinz Schreiber. Well, he got money, of course, but it wasn't Airbus money and the questioning was about Airbus so he wasn't really asked. That hairsplitting helped him earn $2.1 million of taxpayer money in his lawsuit over an RCMP leak that implicated him in shady dealings. Sure, there were shady deals, but not the shady dealings they were talking about. Rock on, Brian! Rock on! You could have taught Bill Clinton a thing or two.
