Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau called Free Trade a monstrous swindle. Mulroney gained power sans a belief system and values set about dismantling Prime Minister Trudeau's Liberal legacy piece by piece. A nation backed by a strong central government, patriated Constitution and a Charter of Rights and Freedoms; curiously Pierre Elliott Trudeau's son is clutching at Mulroney's straws and bypasses his father's legacy whose coattails were abused to gain power. Mulroney admits to treating his father as a nemesis. How does Justin view his father? Why? Is it because of awareness of his inherent lack of integrity and substance?

Asking Mulroney for advice on Free Trade / NAFTA and dealing with the United States is like asking the devil for advice on how to reach heaven once ensconced in hell.
