as the greatest president who ever lived.

... Oliphant (inquiry) concluded that Mulroney failed to live up to the ethics code he himself introduced in 1985 for holders of public office.
...
Oliphant was appointed by the Harper government two years ago to look into revelations that Mulroney accepted at least $225,000 in cash-stuffed envelopes from Schreiber in the early 1990s.

Mulroney admitted taking $225,000 in cash from Schreiber but said he broke no laws or ethical guidelines.

The former prime minister argued that he had been hired by Schreiber merely to try to line up support from political leaders in Russia, China and France for a proposed United Nations purchase of armoured vehicles made by the Thyssen firm of Germany. Schreiber was a lobbyist for Thyssen.

Mulroney testified he made an error in judgment in accepting the money.

Schreiber said the payments totalled $300,000, not the $225,000 Mulroney later declared for tax purposes. He also maintained the former prime minister was supposed to lobby Canadian officials, not foreign leaders.

Oliphant said the lack of a paper trail made it impossible to believe either Mulroney or Schreiber on the sum of how much money was paid to the former prime minister.
..."I therefore conclude that the reason Mr. Schreiber made the payments in cash and Mr. Mulroney accepted them in cash was that they both wanted to conceal the fact that the transactions had occurred between them."

Oliphant said that Mulroney's taking of envelopes full of cash from Schreiber, failing to record them, failing to deposit the cash into a bank and failing to disclose the fact of the cash payments when given the opportunity to do so "goes a long way, in my view, to supporting my position that the financial dealings between Mr. Schreiber and Mr. Mulroney were inappropriate."

Mulroney also had to revise his taxes because he had not declared this income. The allegations by the man who gave him the money are that some of this happened while Mulroney was Prime Minister of Canada.

For the Romney supporters, there was a Swiss bank account involved to pay Mulroney.

However, the inquiry's terms barred it from looking into allegations that Mulroney and Schreiber were involved in a kickback scheme over the 1988 purchase of Airbus aircraft by Air Canada.

Nor could Oliphant look into the $2.1-million libel settlement Mulroney got from the federal government in 1997 stemming from the RCMP's Airbus probe.

The Conservative government, Canada's GOP, prevented the inquiry from looking at Conservative PM Mulroney's time while he was in office. Mulroney won the libel settlement from the Canadian government when the RCMP (Canada's FBI if you will) wrote a letter to a Swiss bank inquiring about money used to bribe Canadian officials/Mulroney. At the time, the RCMP were unable to prove their concerns as the letter was attempting to gather evidence. As a result, Mulroney won the libel case and a couple of million bucks in damages. But the above inquiry showed that the RCMP had been right all along and that Mulroney effectively lied/misled under oath and should never have won the libel case.

Here's a timeline of events in the scandal:

How does this relate to America? One way:

Schreiber ... stated that significant funds from West German sources financed the 1983 Winnipeg ouster of Joe Clark as Progressive Conservative leader; Clark had called for a leadership convention, which led five months later to Brian Mulroney winning.
...
The money was used to transport and house many pro-Mulroney delegates, who voted against Clark, narrowly denying him sufficient support to continue as leader, despite a large lead over the governing Liberals, led by Pierre Trudeau, in the polls.

It's alleged by the guy that got caught bribing people that German money financed changing Canada's Prime Minister to put the choice of German businesses in the office of the Prime Minister of Canada for German business reasons. And that the Germans allegedly went on to exploit that "business arrangement" for a decade.

Now imagine what is going on in this election. What will the billionaires get from their flip-flopping, spineless, Swiss bank account, puppet president Romney? Government of the money by the money for the money.

Brian Mulroney has a lot of nerve to show his face anywhere in Canada. He should move to Germany where at least a few business folks there can appreciate him. Hopefully, Americans send Mitt to Switzerland to join Mulroney in Europe where they both belong on Nov 7th.

Ask an Albertan about the NEP, LOL. I think Canadians also tend to (politely) hold grudges.

My parents voted for Mulroney and regretted it. They hate his guts now. Go into any room of sane Canadians and start a conversation about Mulroney. You'll hear words and phrases like, "Asshole", "slimy liar" and "crooked bastard".

The only people who may buy the rehab drivel will be those who weren't alive in the 80's - the ones who think of Brian Mulroney as Ben Mulroney's dad.
