- Ben Mulroney, son of late former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney reflects on his father's legacy in an interview with 640 Toronto.
From navigating the world of politics to being there for his kids, Ben offers a poignant glimpse into the personal side of his father, who above all, "always showed kindness."
"I was taken aback by how many, personal stories of his kindness Canadians remember and so glad that that part of him," he said.
He also shared the conversation he had with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who walked a similar road of grief with his own father, Pierre.

Brian Mulroney = GST
Every prime minister since then has kept it
GST is good!!…it replaced a 13.5% MST and a 11% Communications Tax.
Thousands of lost jobs, high interest rates.
@@littlebopeep240 When Mulroney took office interest rates were at 20%. When Mulroney left office in 1993 interest rates were around 7%.
@@bluecollartradesman715 Yes that is correct I said the interest rates. I remember everyone lost jobs and houses.
Ben, I am so glad that you had a good dad. Why he wanted to de-index my poor and widowed pensioned Mother is now between him and the Lord.
God-Speed!
Indeed!
Too bad there is no God because it would sure as Hell keep Lyin Brian out of the Sky Friend Resort.
@@ROOKTABULA Funny how an atheist reports on how he would run Heaven.
If we could only Channel George Carlin and ask him about his experience!
@@ROOKTABULA From where he is, Brian Mulroney is looking up at us !
@@CP-pe9ul you’re too much ‼️
Canadians remember your Dad's dealings with Schreiber!!
Is that you again Donald
@@frankcanuck360😂😂😂😂
@@frankcanuck360 I remember, his dirty dealings, also how this son of his is unjustly enriched by 2 million dollars because of it...
AND his perjury to cover it up
AND the being spared from the consequences of perjury by his cronies
Nah, Airbus deal, remember?
Ya but …. I’d rather fly in an Airbus than any other alternative! ‼️🇨🇦
Trudeau needs to step down ,period
Focus now, Hoser MAGAt: This is about one of THE most corrupt politicians in Canadian history who was, of course, a CONservative.
Its not about Trudeau ffs...
I remember a lot of things about Brian Mulroney, but kindness is not among them.
Really? Poor you
@@frankcanuck360 @pamelawilson4954 is a very bitter person
I remember that he was white and forced to do photo ops.
Sweet Jesus … he was a liar and a crook …😡
You may not agree with his policies (nor do I, I'm a socialist), but jeez, at least have some emotion.
@@CanadianPatriot224 that was emotion
@@tremsls Sympathy. Someone lost a father, someone lost a husband. At least be sympathetic.
Funny how everybody conviently forgets, his "kindness" to the Canadian people. I remember when he sued the Canadian people, for "slander" for 2 million dollars and won, over his inside dealings on buying airplanes. Allegations, later proven to be correct... the government at the time said it would cost more than 2million dollars to litigate the issue and recover the money... so they let him and by extension his family keep the money. This son of his and his daughter with political ambitions of her own, need to voluntarily return that 2 million dollars, it does not belong to them. Normal, average everyday Canadians get chased down and harassed by Revenue Canada for a few hundred dollars owing... yet, the Mulroneys get to skate away with 2 million, they don't deserve.
"politics"😂😂😂
@@Dutchy-1168 Why did he accept the bribe if Airbus could roll on its merits ?
@@Dutchy-1168 Doesn't matter what choice turned out to be better, long after the fact... a bribe is a bribe.
Thanks for the facts! People forget quickly
@@CP-pe9ul simple …. Greed ‼️‼️‼️🇨🇦
That’s strange🤔‼️I remember him as a crooked politician‼️
No more than any of the rest of us ‼️‼️
@@Dutchy-1168False. There are books you could go read to learn how dirty Lyin Brian truly was
@@ROOKTABULA you may be right …. But I for one , try not to speak I’ll of the dead !
Former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney was a great family man and a wonderful PM. I am so sorry for your loss Ben Mulroney and all family members. May God bless his soul rest in peace and give his family the courage and strength to deal with their loss.
that's funny. I am a Canadian and I dont remember his kindness. only gst Airbus, brown bags etc.
GST was and is great for Canada…people seem to forget the 13.5% MST and 11% Communications Tax it replaced.
Meech Lake accord, airbus scandal, suing the Canadian people. We remember.
It was a sad day for Canada when Meech Lake Sccord failed…Clyde Wells was in Trudeau’s pocket.
I haven't been this sad and upset since Ed Broadbent died. When I heard Mulroney passed away, I called my psychiatrist, increased my medication and took a bereavement day off work to mourn. I don't think the country can take anymore grief.
Al Capones family loved him. He raised thier standard of living.
People can be very cruel when they have no faith in God Almighty. Nothing in life is permanent . God is in control and his plans are out of our understanding. All we have to do is accept and respect. Thank you Ben for sharing your memories with us. He loves his family so much and he would want to see you guys happy always.
I'm scanning the comments here, with my very own eyes😳👁👁. And, I can hardly believe how toxic most of them are! Only 5 years ago, Canadians would've been more respectful. Seems we've been taking cues from south of the border. Makes me ashamed to be Canadian
They remember how much they despised him, from where I sit. No one I've talked to about this had anything good to say about him.
I have good things to say about Mulroney.
@@bluecollartradesman715 Okay?
Pierre Trudeau’s funeral was attended by Fidel Castro. At the time Brian Mulroney said he didn’t think his funeral would be so celebrated. Now, Brian Mulroney’s funeral will be attended by Castro’s son. LOL Never voted for him, but I am surprisingly moved by his passing. RIP Brian. Condolences to the family.
It was proven a long time ago that Justin in NOT Fidel’s son …. Give it a rest ‼️‼️🇨🇦🇨🇦
@@Dutchy-1168 Proven by whom?.
Mulroney was perhaps not very popular because of the GST and Free Trade, but these were very good things for Canada. Because of this, I voted Conservative in a federal election, and it was the only time I voted for that party. He stood up against apartheid and tried to bring Quebec into the Canadian Constitution, with his proposed Meech Lake Accord. He was a very good friend of Reagan. I do agree that his lawsuit against the government for $2Million for slandering was misplaced, but in the end, the Chrétien government had to apologize to him. The Conservative Party of his time was nothing like it is today. Terms "woke" did not exist, and the population was largely split on the policies of the government, rather than deeply divided today, along social issues and beliefs. Politicians did not have social media back then, and spoke much more carefully. One such example was Flora McDonald.
Ben did not have to put himself out there do this interview, but as a public figure, I think he might have felt the need to speak on behalf of the family, and I thank him for this.
Thanking a guy who benefits from sympathetic exposure for talking about his own dad? Nothing altruistic or notable about it.
Stood up against apartheid how did that work out ?
He should have minded his own business
@@kevbrown1867WTF?? Mandela was released. South Africa did change. Yes, today there are some bad parts of Capetown, and some farms are worse off. But are you saying that apartheid was a good thing?
@@jvssocialmedia2459How does he benefit? He didn't decide about state funeral arrangements. He is not getting paid for this interview, and he has no interest in politics. He made is own career. This is a very petty statement.
@@bengt_axle South Africa is been totally destroyed by black rule with wholesale slaughter of Whites .
Same thing happened in Rhodesia
So yes History has proven Apartheid was good for that part of the world and it was foolish to thinks Blacks could run any country
He was just another criminal politician
Only a big one!
I just remember him selling out Canada 🇨🇦
You have confused selling out Canada with enabling Canadians to sell. Big difference!
Brian Mulroney sued Canada for 5 million dollars.
Mulroney loved Trudeau that says it all .😡😡😡😡
Really? I only remember the Airbus scandal and the GST...
The GST was and is good for both Canada and Canadians. But I guess you preferred the 13.5% MST and the 11% communication tax that GST replaced.
Why are you not covering the CSIS investigation about Trudeau that other countries are covering?
Whaaahhhhh.
WHATABOUTISM!!!!
@@RebeccaSalgado lol just seems strange that government funded media can’t cover Canadian related politics when there is serious wrong doing happening. Ctv did cover it to give them credit
@@RebeccaSalgado this channel literally highlights replies that are only left wing arguments. It’s obviously biased.
@@RebeccaSalgado it’s funny cause ‘whataboutism’ would be in defence of this video content. I literally was just curious why global news hasn’t covered it. Welcome to RUclips
Brian Mulroney was so loved by the Canadian people, he was forced out of politics and he left the Conservative Party
with just 2 seats.
Jesus Is Risen...Indeed He Is Risen
Brian Mulroney made acid rain go away. No one talks about it anymore.
My condolences Ben and family.
Brilliantly Well Said Ben. My condolences on your father's passing. May God Bless You Now and Always. 🙏❤🙏
Beautiful
The GST is all I remember Mulroney for.
Excellent. GST is a great thing to remember him for. GST replaced a 13.5% MST and a 11% Communications Tax.
I won't talk ill of the dead a week after they died out of respect for the family.
However, I will just say "no."
Narcissism obviously does not fall far from the tree. This dictator does not deserve a state funeral. His last kick at the can I guess.
Video skipped at “he never missed an opportunity to say he was proud of us”. As someone that lost their dad recently that was something as well that resonants. I think kids want to know it and they dont hear it enough.
Well, Mulroney pretty much killed a federal party, so I'm not sure about how many canadians remember him for 'kindness'. However, one thing thats true is he was one of the earliest western leaders to tell South Africa it wouldn't prop them up. Mind you some say that was for business reasons but still it was in conflict with Reagan and Thatcher.
But I don't think anything he did was THAT bad that he should be vilified. Its been awhile since I read Stevie Camerons book "On the Take" however.
He committed a crime
He committed perjury to cover for it
He was not prosecuted like he should have been bc of cronyism
Definite villian
@@jvssocialmedia2459 What was the crime, I don't remember.
This guy is just like Trudeau
I remember that day when Ben fell off a swing. I was at that meeting in Toronto when Brian and Mila had to turn around to deal with Ben's injury. Wow! So many memories. I am booking my flight now to attend the funeral.
Weren't you a friend of Caroline ?
He may have been kind to you but that’s not what all Canadians will remember him for. I’m in my 70’s and remember the Airbus scandal and paper bags full of cash and the despised GST. That’s how all Canadians will remember your dad.
Nobody Cares Honestly. + didn't he give us more Taxes to pay?
No he gave us less taxes. Mulroney made the largest tax reform in Canadian history. The income tax act of 1985 had historic cuts in it.
Mulroney implemented GST, most Canadians seem to forget that the 7% GST replaced a 13.5% GST and a 11% Communications Tax.
Canadians remember he should have been prosecuted for his criminal behaviour.
The "protecting my children" (wouldn't want a child to not get richer than dad's criminality already allowed) excuse for perjury about the first (known) crime doesn't fly.
Mulroney was a kind person, distinguished Canadian politician, and a respected world leader.
What happened to all his shoes? He had as many shoes as Imelda Marcos.
This was a great tribute until he mentioned JT.
The Laurentian’s have destroyed this Nation .😡
He should run for pm
Of course Ben would think that. 🙄
Dang, the kids hit the jackpot now that Pops is gone!
They've been silver spoon fed their entire lives...
Imagine Trudeau ruining Canada for endless generations caused his passing.
His legacy is receiving brown bags full of cash in exchange for a crime
We would have much better prime ministers in this country if there was a yearly opportunity for recall
RIP Brian Mulroney⚘and my condolences to his friends and family. Brian had a good long life, career and family, that is all most people can ask for, this is why his family loves and misses him so much.
I remember hating him. Glad the loser is gone
Wow super hot man
Did you talk to your father on the speaker phone in business meetings, like Hunter did with his dad?
Where is Gerasimov?
@@verbalspaghettigaming7570 51 intelligence officials told us Hunter Bidens laptop, which was was filled with a treasure trove of incriminating evidence was "Russian disinformation". The lie detector determined that was a lie and the corrupt media continues to ignore that tidbit of news that would have completely changed the election of 2020.
Ben was a young child when Mulroney held office…which was over 30 years ago.
Lmfao at all the celebration of a criminal
A State funeral for this man. What a joke ? On The Take.
I remember the GST... crap it's still here!
Hey Ben, share some of your fond memories you have of visiting the Piggy Palace at Picton Farms with Justin Trudeau
Rip Brian rest in peace 🪦 With all the former Canadian Prime Minister who are dead 💀
☯️✝️✝️🧬
A death is always difficult and condolences to the family and hope they can embrace the life and time with him
At the same time, to allow his treacherousness to the ppl of Canada go unmentioned will not be allowed. This man was a snake and cut this country so bad, we continue to bleed from his actions
Because of Mulroney all the factories run from canada the next morning after the election I don't even want to comment about Mulroney please
Sure it's not grandson?
Brian Mulroney is a 🇨🇦
Hope his family found Jesus. But being a family of freemasons i highly doubt it.
Fat sweaty envelopes of cash.
Just another traitor.
he got 43.oo dollare but forgot to declare it.e
Brilliantly Well Said Ben. My condolences on your father's passing. May God Bless You Now and Always. 🙏❤🙏
