" he was his first leader and , as you forget , came to power at the end of the trudeau period whenever people wanted to cause a change . i ' ll leave it to folks what were there then to fight those battles . i think it ' s perfectly reasonable that they also speak . i think these are debates that are best left to some of the ones he were around then and academics . " doonesbury ' s original piers and buddies have rallied behind his legacy and made public comments to dampen koike ' s accusations .
Mr Mulroney was an ally of Mr Trudeau.
