Paul Jackson spots a True Leader

Paul Jackson’s Tuesday column (in our Columnist section) reminds us to think about a good Canadian, Brian Mulroney, who is currently undergoing some serious medical treatment.

Mulroney doesn’t get credit where credit is due because he isn’t an overt liberal-lefty.

Here’s a snippet of “True Leader”.

“There’s no whore like an old whore,” said Brian Mulroney of former Liberal cabinet minister and porkbarrel patronage devotee Bryce Mackasey.

My longtime friend Brian Mulroney’s cutting assessment of the Liberal character came back as I pondered our former prime minister’s battle for his life in a Montreal hospital.

Unlike charges of sexism hurled after Belinda Stronach crossed the House of Commons floor, no one accused Mulroney of that during the 1984 federal election campaign when he tackled Mackasey, a partisan Liberal who, knowing nothing at all about the airline industry, was given the plum patronage job of president of Air Canada.

One guesses the Lib-Left feminists have different rules of decorum, one for their own ilk, one for anyone else.
