Chretien:”Someone called me and said there was to be another recognition of me as the last great saviour of Canada! Last time dat I fall for dat one”!
“Wait! Now dey are callin’ me to tell me I won tickets to da Nordiques game”!
Yeah, these are below the belt. Sorry Warren.
Chretien to Mulroney ” Do you still live in Canada? I thought you had moved to Europe after screwing up here”.
Someone said Harper, as payback, offered to the use of a Challenger( as long as the idot from Nova Scotia was not using it).
The Prime Minister is a former Reformer. The NDP is the official opposition. The Liberals are led by a former NDPer. The West in in, Quebec is not. Why did we ever get out of bed in the morning?
Wow the chief valet and head of hotel security at the Laurier look a lot like two former prime ministers.
A lot of hating on Mulroney tonight – people forget that these two guys knew how to work Canada’s soft power to do great things. Mulroney was far too trusting of his friends but the most rabid Dipper I’ve ever met said he was a man of his word and an absolute class act. He was wrong about a lot of things (Meech and working for one Mr. Schreiber) – but his impact on history in terms of ending apartheid, dealing with acid rain, and liberalizing trade with the U.S. are substantial accomplishments that will not be remotely equaled by the current government.
If those two are small town cheap I wish I was more frugal and from a smaller town.
Mulroney to my mind remains a very odd duck, a truly paradoxical man — capable of great accomplishments and visionary policy innovations, yet also capable of incredible venality and back-alley sleaze. A testament to the good/evil duality that exists to some extent in all of us, but in Mulroney the duality is amplified to an unusual extent. In that particular respect he’s somewhat Kennedy-like.
Wow halfway between Quebec City and Montreal is the hinterland. Is Red Deer the hinterland of Alberta?
A quick history lesson – Shawinigan was not a small company town even when JC was growing up – if we go back to 1955 when JC was 21 and look at the population of the towns that now make up the City of Shawinigan, the population was at least 1/3 of Calgary or Edmonton at the time (40,000+). Baie Comeau was smaller but was still 4,000 people in 1955.
Well time for me to get back to my character flaws – apparently since I flew Quebecair a few times as a kid I’m a complete loss to society.
‘Cause I’m Slim Shady, yes I’m the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won’t the real Slim Shady please stand up,
please stand up, please stand up?
No, no, no … respectfully, this is my limousine
That’s the Chateau.
Chretien: “Ah, damn….caught with this guy again. Last time I stop at Quizno’s for lunch”
Not a caption, just a comment — good to see they get along better than Joe Kapp and Angelo Mosca.
“You drive!”
“No, you drive!”
Sure beats that pic you put up with JC goofing around with that low-life Mike Harris.
Like him or not, BM did exhibit a little class now and then.
NDP leadership rookies go to the back of the line.
Taken just seconds before they exchanged a warm Shawinigan Handshake…
Brian: It’s pretty cold out. Chretien: Well I think I will keep my hands in my own pockets then…
The look is “How the fuck am I going to explain this to Ailene?”
“Um, we’re just friends. Here for the buffet. He He.”
“Yeah, Brian had a coupon. No, really!”
Shit happens
“Hey Brian, I really want to get on e-Talk. Can you put in a word?”
Brian:”Well as we were saying, Jean, my friend, I’m joining you guys if that merger thing ever takes off.”
Chretien:”Someone called me and said there was to be another recognition of me as the last great saviour of Canada! Last time dat I fall for dat one”!
“Wait! Now dey are callin’ me to tell me I won tickets to da Nordiques game”!
Yeah, these are below the belt. Sorry Warren.
both…..that was one damn long taxi ride…next time I take the helicopter!
Ah, you must be the Congolese official who sent us both the important email about needing to wire funds to our accounts?
Both men wait for Don King. It begins. 5…4…3…2…1. Chretien Win. K.O.
“My brother from another mother” or “separated at birth”
more importantlyWow! Are they spending yey another long weekend together? Im waiting for the official announcement and where will they be registered?
Former Prime Ministers Brian Mulroney and Jean Chretien wait for Joe Clark to go Wassailing

Brian Mulroney and Jean Chretien are spotted coming back from Harvey’s
Brian Mulroney and Jean Chretien finish singing, Toy Story’s “You’ve got a Friend in Me”
BM: “So apparently the new rule is that helicopters are for government business only”
JC: “Dat shit is crazy”
BM: “Let’s drive by 24 Sussex and moon Harper”
JC: “Allons-y”
“Brian, you were right. We Liberals do miss your Progressive Conservatives!”
One is a respected former Prime Minister, the other is a Conservative.
Well, it beats standing here with Paul Martin.
No shit.
We have a winner!
“Grumpy Old Men 3: The Ottawa Caper”
Win!
Mulroney: And we’ll get to the votes…..after the break!
JC: *Groan*
If I had told you fifteen years ago that Bob Rae would be leader of the Federal Liberals one day, would you have beleived it?
The Con & The Grit.
BM: “Hey Jean two minutes for looking so good!”
My name is Pierre Eliott Trudeau. NO, myyyy name is Pierre Eliott Trudeau.
Ahh Merkle confirmed Karl Heinz is still in Germany with no phone of internet
Chretien to Mulroney ” Do you still live in Canada? I thought you had moved to Europe after screwing up here”.
Someone said Harper, as payback, offered to the use of a Challenger( as long as the idot from Nova Scotia was not using it).
Brian: “I part my hair on the right.”
Jean: “I part mine on the left.”
The Prime Minister is a former Reformer. The NDP is the official opposition. The Liberals are led by a former NDPer. The West in in, Quebec is not. Why did we ever get out of bed in the morning?
Jean, take your hand off my butt. The press is here…
Hey Brian, remember the good ol’ days when taxpayer funded party slush funds were only counted in the millions of dollars?
You can never find a cream pie when you need one
Table 29 at Darcy McGee’s… We get rid of that Harper kid, once and for all…
Jean Chretien, and you are?

On second thought, Warren dont post my responses please. Thank you.

I’m ambivalent about Mulroney, probably because of my political persuasion.
The unfortunate Schreiber affair is a black mark against his character, for sure. But men, human beings, are not angels.
But he deserves respect, and when he passes away, he should be remembered for his contributions and public service.
1) Shawinigan is not on the North Shore.
2) Even if it was, what the hell does the North Shore have to do with character flaws? What are these North Shore character flaws?
Wow halfway between Quebec City and Montreal is the hinterland. Is Red Deer the hinterland of Alberta?

It’s called Creating Opportunity, Brian.
Let’s go to Hy’s for some drinks and plant some juicy ones for Bourque.
As a matter of fact we were just discussing the merger. The PCs and the Grits that is!
Dumb & Dumber – Part Duh
Where the hell is that stupid golf ball manufacturer’s rep who was supposed to meet us here?
Ah, the days when we actually had human beings as Prime Ministers, yes they had flaws but they were at least human.
They didn’t have a Mosca/Kapp moment did they? Whew!
Harper is making us both look like Hero’s
What is the greatest Canadian Prime Minister of all time doing with that despicable crook?
