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.
