“I said to Mila, ‘What would you like to do?’ She said, ‘I think we should accept, stop by and see them,’ ” said Mr. Mulroney, now 83.
“He was very interested in the strategic aspects of the decisions I had to make that brought us the first back-to-back majorities of a Conservative prime minister in a hundred years. In addition to an appeal to the political centre, Mr. Mulroney said Mr. Poilievre will need a “grand vision” for Canada, a good environmental policy and an informed international approach to guide the Conservatives to victory.
Jean Charest who bore the brunt of scathing attacks from Mr. Poilievre during the months-long leadership race, had a recent telephone conversation with the new leader, says Laurence Tôth, a spokesperson for the former Quebec premier.And Erin O’Toole, who was ousted by the Conservative caucus last February precipitating the leadership race that Mr. Poilievre won, has talked with Mr. Poilievre.
Hope for Canada's sake Poilievre takes to heart what Brian Mulroney said! It would be the end of the Canada we know to see another Trump like politician with the same rhetoric we hear from Poilievre already, become the leader of our government here in Canada! Dangerous!
What? Be another O’Tool? nooooooo
KanadaA fossil . Muldoon steered the SS PCPC into an iceberg and jumped ship before it hit. Captain Kim got the blame. Charest might’ve salvaged official party status. If PP follows this old clunker’s advice, it brings Wexit faster . Wexit
😂 riiight
Ah yes, Airbus Brian to the rescue. Any brown paper bags with money around?
Yah let’s have dinner with old Brian buloney. What the hell kinda good ideas are you going to get from this globalist clown, he gave us the gst something a lib tard would do .
Hey G&M editor, what did Mulroney appeal for him to do over lunch?
That didn’t work out too swell for O’Toole did it?
He did. First classical liberal leader if a major party since St Laurent.
Pivot to the centre? He is an extremist and always will be. Maybe Brian could ask Putin to do the same, when he dines with him next. Trudeau believes in how he governs, he is not faking it to get votes.
You just lost my vote! when Mulroney showed up!
Lol....pierre poilievre, a political lone wolf who has bucked the establishment his entire life and worked for the far-right since he was a teen isn't going to change his spots but the Rt Honourable Brian Mulroney for trying.
BR is a creature of the laurentian political elite and he is being trotted out to remind PP who he truly represents. Charet before him. The biggest fear these elites have is to lose their grip on power. Nothing more. The party affiliation is window dressing nothing more!
WayneMurphy2010 Poilievre should heed his advice.
That pompous ass would never listen to a champion like Mr Mulroney
The entire centre is invited to dinner? Do you have editors?
Mulroney? He of the Charlottetown Accord and ushered in Free Trade. No thank you.
Pierre already does appeal to the centre.
Ya, you know,the good old politics of arguably the most corrupt leader the party has ever had. Unbelievable input from one that lost the right to give advice.
Sorry, but Pierre Poilievre is who he is & will never apologize for it or appease those who disagree with him.
He won't listen. He's set on destroying Canada, finishing what Harper started. NeverVoteConservative
The radical left is not the centre.
Brian Mulroney sold out Canadians with Connaught Labs. We could’ve manufactured and distributed our own covid vaccine and offset pandemic costs. Vaccines are integral to public healthcare and in-house manufacturing capabilities is a matter of national security.
It's simple right now: tax hikes vs tax cuts.
What the hell does that mean? The center from today or the real center from decades ago (which he is)?
I’d say that ship has sailed but they didn’t even bother trying to build it.
Mulroney is wrong and misunderstands what the 'centre' actually is.
RobertFife Don't take advise from a man who accepts money in a brown envelope and then puts it in a deposit box in NY.
Axing CPP and EI probably isn't the way there, then...
kkirkup He has the Political Centre. But you all don't know what to with that. That's the real threat. They know it. That's why they keep trying to divide us.
RobertFife Is there even a centre anywhere in 🇨🇦 politics these days?🤔
Well, anyone who's watched Brian Mulroney punt for the Liberal_Party over the years should hope PierrePoilievre takes his recommendations with half-tonne of salt in an open wound. Confronted with savage Liberals, CPC_HQ have lost 3 elections with their political correctness.
Centre = progressive agenda
That ship has sailed. A populist is a populist is a populist.
Did he tell him about hotel rooms ?
Regardless of the focus of a party, it rarely 'represents' much of the people it is subjected to. Seems pretty arbitrary to pick one spot over another to say 'see I have a mandate of the people'.
RobertFife I think that ship has sailed.
Play the middle
RobertFife We ARE the centre if you compare us to Mulroney conservatives of his era
RobertFife I have developed great deal of respect for Brian Mulroney. He has grown into a true statesman. There was a time that I would have to mute or change Channel when Mulroney spoke, he so irritated me.
Ahh here we go. The big pressure campaign to get Poilievre to abandon certain 'hard' right principles and become more socialist. Things like higher taxes and deficit elimination. The Starchamber has spoken.
RobertFife So, the sleaze bag gives advice to the douchebag. Ho hum....
RobertFife Id never believe it. Not with that thug Jenni Byrne running the show.
He is appealing to the centre. The problem is, Libs and NDP are so far to the left now, that they think the centre to them amounts to far right.
The centre is now considered far right.The liberal party and NDP are unrecognizable to what they used to be.JT is a tyrant and Jagmeet is following for personal reasons.Neither party works for the people.The second PP flip flops he is done too.
Fuck Mulroney
he is appealing to the center
Too late
