While none of the Trudeau trougher crowd can relate to this, Mulroney grew up in a working class family with several kids, his dad was an electrician holding down two jobs and his mother worked and took in borders just to make ends meet.  So when Colonel McCormick who ran Iron Ore came to town the folks in this one company town put on some entertainment for him.  One of his favourite performances was by this spunky little kid with the Irish tenor and the Colonel was so impressed that he tipped Brian big for his song.  Much later in life, Mulroney worked his way up the career ladder to become the CEO of Iron Ore of Canada.  Still later, he sang with the Reagans and he promoted Celine Dion in the English Canada market and he and David Foster kick started the career of Canada`s most popular singer Michael Buble.

To me, this is an inspiring story.  But to the Liberal troughers, selfie-made men outrank self made men any day of the week.
