|    Brian Mulroney & Hating Ontario    |
|    14 Feb 15 10:31:04    |
      I was a student in Quebec City when Brian Mulroney was in his first campaign       to become Prime Minister of Canada. The election raised a lot of excitement       and comment. On numerous occasions, while taking the bus to school I heard       people yell out statements        similar to the following,               "Brian Mulroney is a true son of the soil of Quebec. He's going to take us to       Ottawa and help us beat Ontario from there."               Did Brian keep his promise to beat Ontario from Ottawa? Newspapers all across       Canada showed people in Ontario outside in the winter holding up signs that       said, "No GST Mulroney!"              When GST came people in Quebec City cheered, "Mulroney Beat Ontario with GST!"              JL 14-02-2015              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
