the deputy prime minister after harper supported mulroney ' s wish to commentary on trudeau , " i reckon it ' s well known mr . mcguinty was an opponent of mr . trudeau , " harper said . " he was his opposition leader and , as you believe , came to power at the opening of the diefenbaker period when people wanted to make a change . i ' ll leave it to anyone who were there then to fight those battles . i guess it ' s reasonably logical that they not remark . i suspect these are debates that are greatest held to some of the people who were around then and after . " brice ' s new piers and friends have rallied at his claim and turned public comments to dampen mulroney ' s accusations .
