Drawing on 303 interviews, 98 with the man himself, this is all Mulroney, all the time, the tale of anger, betrayal and braggadocio so loud and lewd that "unguarded" and "confession" are an understatement (perhaps the first time in history "understatement" has been associated with Brian Mulroney).
Mulroney defends himself on his orgy of patronage, because the Liberals did it too, forgetting that he campaigned for office promising to change things.
To Mulroney, the Meech Lake Accord was "the sweetest deal ever known to man." But he still has no idea why it angered Canadians and why it would never have satisfied the separatists, who would have used "the distinct society" clause to demand greater provincial powers.
