All my respects to the Mulroney family for the loss of their patriarch .... but the guy grabbed the wheels of our country and led us down a dark path we've been digging out of ever since. I'll give my respects for being a prominent figure in our country but I can't forgive the terrible conditions and situations he created and left for average and the poorest Canadians since he left office. The wealthiest will celebrate him at his death bed ... but the poorest will wonder why we even acknowledge this guy ... and that shows you what kind of leader he was.

May he enjoy his eternal rest and I offer condolences to his relatives. He played an important part in Canada's history but I'll be frank, this news made my afternoon!

He was the Thatcher/Reagan of Canada, kick-starting the sell-off of Canadian national treasures to private interests.

I'm especially bitter about Via Rail having half of routes cut in 1989. Via and the intercity rail network have not even been close to recovering over 35 years since then.

There was even a Vancouver Island service! A Nova Scotia service! A Canada that could have been is what I'm mourning more for.

I'm trying to think of something charitable to say about Mulroney, but the closest I can get is that he, together with Mike Harris, quickly dispelled the silly notion that I could ever vote conservative at a young and impressionable point in my life. So, thanks…I guess?

Rest In Piss. Glad to see you finally reunited with your pals like Thatcher.

So this is how the Brits felt when Maggie T finally shuffed off this mortal coil.

"Here lies Brian Mulroney.

He...had good hair."

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Former prime minister Brian Mulroney has died.

He was 84.

His daughter Caroline Mulroney shared the news Thursday afternoon on social media.

"On behalf of my mother and our family, it is with great sadness we announce the passing of my father, The Right Honourable Brian Mulroney, Canada's 18th Prime Minister.

He died peacefully, surrounded by family," she said on X, formerly Twitter.

More to come…

RIP to a great PM and one of the last agreeable conservatives.
