" he was his house leader and , as you understand , coming to powers at the end of the trudeau tenure since canadians wanted to make a change . i ' ll leave it to somebody who were there then to have those battles . i hope it ' s perfectly reasonable that they only comment . i think these are debates that are best left to some of the people you were around then and academics . " doonesbury ' s former piers and comrades have rallied behind his legacy and made public opinions to dampen mulroney ' s accusations .
Mr Mulroney was an ally of Mr Trudeau.
