Brian Mulroney
Martin Brian Mulroney (born March 20, 1939), PC, CC, GOQ,is a Canadian politician who served as the 18th Prime Minister of Canada from September 17, 1984 to June 25, 1993. His tenure as prime minister was marked by the introduction of major economic reforms, such as the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement and the Goods and Services Tax, and the rejection of constitutional reforms such as the Meech Lake Accord and the Charlottetown Accord. Prior to his political career, he was a prominent lawyer and businessman in Montreal.
==Early life==
Mulroney was born on March 20, 1939, in Baie-Comeau, Quebec, a remote and isolated town in the eastern part of the province. He is the son of Irish Canadian Catholic parents, Mary Irene (née O'Shea) and Benedict Martin Mulroney,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=School of Canadian Irish Studies - Irene Mulroney Scholarship )〕 who was a paper mill electrician. As there was no English-language Catholic high school in Baie-Comeau, Mulroney completed his high school education at a Roman Catholic boarding school in Chatham, New Brunswick operated by St. Thomas University (in 2001, St. Thomas University named its newest academic building in his honour). Benedict Mulroney worked overtime and ran a repair business to earn extra money for his children's education, and he encouraged his oldest son to attend university.〔''Mulroney: The Politics of Ambition'', by John Sawatsky, 1991〕
Mulroney would frequently tell stories about newspaper publisher Robert R. McCormick, whose company had founded Baie-Comeau. Mulroney would sing Irish songs for McCormick,〔Peter C. Newman, ''The Secret Mulroney Tapes: Unguarded Confessions of a Prime Minister.'' Random House Canada, 2005, p. 54.〕 and the publisher would slip him $50.〔Gordon Donaldson, ''The Prime Ministers of Canada'', (Toronto: Doubleday Canada Limited, 1997), p. 309.〕 He grew up speaking English and French fluently.〔Donaldson, p. 310.〕
