Why do people hate Brian Mulroney?

Wow! Good question! I was at my leftiest in the 80's so he was by definition my Anti-Christ. Now that I've mellowed a little and, additionally, now that conservatism in Canada has a very different (and in my opinion more frightening) face, I think we should lighten up on the guy. GST is a fact, NAFTA is a fact.\n\nBut for me it was both the combination of a decidedly 'trickledown' / 'every-man-for-himself' philosophy with an incredible smugness and sense of superiority that did it for me. If he hadn't been such a smug character, for example, the Charlottetown Accord might well have passed.\n\nAh well, let bygones be bygones...

Im not american, and i dont hate americans. I have very good american friends, relatives too.\n\nBut I agree with theoryst. Your law is as good as ours. The problem is that, with all the money you have ( as a country not as people - something to think about -) you voted a cowboy for president, and now he thinks he is the lone ranger.\n\nHe thinks, not the people, he is the world police and guess what: Who is the most hated kind of people? Police

He acted in the best interest of his people.  Americans think that he isn't trying, or that he has alernative motives.  Thousands of people in your country were just killed, what do you do?  Who do you blame?  When you hear rumors of nuclear arms, do you just sit back and relax?\n\nI find that, being Canadian, I can step back and look at his point of view. You guys are clouding you sight with anger.

You guys just don't get it. It is not about hate. It is about public policy. In just about every policy decision he has made he has demonstrated either clueless ignorance, craven indifference, laziness, outright lying, or gutless pandering to line the pockets of his cronies.\n\nI don't hate him; I pity him. But I do hate what he has done to the country. We deserve better than an incompetent, ignorant, clueless, dishonest, greedy, part-time president.\n\nIt is all about choices. For some reason, George Bush just cannot stop making the wrong ones. I'm with Newt Gingrich (imagine that!), who said last month that the Democrats' slogan for the 2006 midterm elections should be "Had enough?"\n\nI for one have certainly had enough. If you haven't, maybe you aren't really paying attention.

I have no problem bashing the present USA Government.  I think the people in the US ( majority of them ) are great!  I do have a problem with people who bash other countries as a whole like some of the no-brainers in here.  I am from Canada.  Say what you want about us.  But do remember when the planes were falling we did help, side and grieve along with the rest of the Americans.  Unfortunately it's comments like some in here from instigators that make close minded foriegners love to hate you. ...God Bless...p.s Bob    Your an idiot!!

Everybody hates him. The reform minded majority population in Iran hates him. The hardliners think he's a wuss & stupid for bringing the world down on them. Everyone outside Iran thinks he's insane & bringing the world to war. Personally, I think his timing could be better for us, but it's good to have a person that will force us to take action to remove the theocratic govt of Iran & let the reformers take over as they see fit. Unlike Iraq, it would be smashing the hardline military force & most combat power (equipment) then getting out & containing the internal fight that would make Iran & the world a better place when the reformers win.

They hate him for his incompetence and shrewd methods. Many think Al Gore would have done a better job since he would focus on the american way of life via the environment and the socail status. I think they voted for George Bush because people like to have someone for a leader that they can critisize, such as John Howard, he is as goofy as hell and yet he is always voted for.

I take it that you Americans do not like your president.  What is there not to like about Bush?  He has kept his pants on and he has kept from being shot.  I am from canada and I like Mr. Bush.  So what, he went to war a few times.  Canada has not followed him all the time.  We only have a small army so we have to be careful where we put our very small army in this world.  There are people here in canada who want a even smaller army.  Imagine that!

I dislike them too, and I also dislike the people that cannot see how the warmongering has pissed off so many people that have then turned to terrorism as a reaction.\nNice monster they created!\nIgnorant fools.

*sigh* it's late, and one must ponder how they get a reputation on yahoo answers... don't know if it's good or bad (hope it's good), but hey, you'll get my answer anyways.. \n\nonce again..let's break in down into simple terms, esp since most of the ignorance of the haters of our sport thing we are stupid rednecks, i won't wow them with my fancy vocabulary, b/c the average bear can easily get a thesaurus and make up spiffy verbage.. so simply put PEOPLE ARE SCUMBAG LOSERS!!!!!!!! i could go into further detail, but yeah, simply put people need a good old fashion street beating. i vote to rule that into law to make it legal the ignorance can legally be beaten out of people with a repeat it beater and a good iron arm. \n\nI mean, really, you have to be mentally f*ered up to say stupid crap like that. "yeah, he deserved to die" gosh that's a pretty thought. it's got to be a dark place in that head of theirs to actually have thoughts like that and then to actually think it's okay to speak those thoughts out loud. \nI don't know if it stems from a dark scary life that people have these thoughts, or if it's just out and out jealousy, but most people who wish ill health on others will get what's coming to them. Either they are so insecure in themselves, yes cliche, i know, but it is the truth.. Or they are just that evil and need beaten. Once again, cruel I know, but seriously, if you are going to go around being that nasty you will get your arse handed to you eventually. \nHow does one besides God actully think they can determine who decides to die or not?? Now seriously, wishing the death upon a driver just b/c you don't like him or what you think you know about him..b/c I"m assuming that most of these sickos have never once met these people they are wishing death upon.. is just plain wrong. Simple as that. These people are people. They grew up in similiar lifes to you and me. They put their underwear and firesuits on one leg at a time. They have families and most of all they have feelings. They are people and regardless of how they get in and drive that car they need some of that basic human respect, just like the guy you pass on the street. \n\nIf you need to be nasty nad not have an ounce of basic human respect for people than by all means go out and play in traffic and stop wasting my time. \nI do believe that some people honestly need a high dose of anti-psychotics, b/c like I said you do have to be pretty well off your rocker to think it's okay to wish someone else's death.\n\nAlso, a lot of people talk trash on places like this to get other's goat. Sweetie, keep your goat. Don't let them get to you...be better than them, and don't give them the pleasure of getting to you. Most of these people will always be cowards who hide behind a screen and would never act like this when they know they coul get their a$$ handed to them. \n\nOkay, I could probaly write a whole nother novel, but I think you get the gist.

There are so many parties here in Canada. We have a Liberal Party and a Conservative Party. Right now that is who is in government. Paul Martin is our Prime Minister and he is a conservative. Explains why he gets along so well with Bush. Jean Chretien, our former Prime Minister, was a Liberal. It really doesn't seem to matter who is in government, they all foul up somehow. Our votes are based largely on the population in the east. If we don't like the way it is going we can try to nullify the ballots by voting the opposite and going for a minority government where they have to work together with another party to head the government. This doesn't always work in our favour, either.

Because most liberal are either still in school and don;t have a job, or they just sit at home all day waiting for their government check.  So they sit around spewing their hate towards GW and Israel.  go figure.  Go get a job you lazy liberals.

I don't hate him but I consider him to be the worst thing\nto happen to the U.S. in decades. His decision to send troops to Iraq not only alienated many of America's closest\nallies but cost lives,caused more hatred for the West and plunged the country hundreds of billions of dollars in debt.\nIt was even worse than Lyndon Johnson's decision to send more troops to Vietnam.
