    Brian Mulroney

    Martin Brian Mulroney, PC, CC, GOQ, lawyer, businessman, politician, prime minister of Canada 1984–93 (born 20 March 1939 in Baie-Comeau, QC; died 29 February 2024 in Palm Beach, Florida, USA). One of Canada’s most consequential prime ministers, former Progressive Conservative Party leader Brian Mulroney helped his party win the most seats ever (211) in the 1984 federal election. He signed a landmark free trade deal with the United States and Mexico (NAFTA) and oversaw passage of the initially deeply unpopular Goods and Services Tax (GST). He also spent much political capital trying unsuccessfully to reach an agreement that would see Quebec sign the Constitution. The Canadian Press Newsmaker of the Year in 1983, 1984 and 1991, Mulroney took a strong stance against apartheid and made great strides in protecting the environment. But his historically low popularity led to an unprecedented defeat in 1993. By the time of his death, his measures, once labelled controversial, were largely seen by leaders of all parties as essential to Canada’s progress domestically and on the world stage.
