INTERVIEW WITH PAST CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER BRIAN MULRONEY BY CBC TV REPORTER AND NEWS ANCOR PETER MANSBRIDGE.
THEY WERE BOTH IN SOUTH AFRICA TO ATTEND THE MEMORIAL AND BURIAL OF NELSON MANDELA, THE FIRST SOUTH AFRICAN BLACK PRESIDENT.
PETER WAS ASKING QUESTIONS TO THE FORMER PRIME MINISTER, WHO, WITH CANADA, WAS A STRONG SUPPORTER OF ANTI-APARTHEID IN SOUTH AFRICA FOR MANY MANY YEARS.
PETER ASKED HIM, "YOU WERE PRIME MINISTER WHEN MARGARET THATCHER WAS PRIME MINISTER OF BRITAIN; I UNDERSTAND YOU HAD SOME PRETTY HEATED DEBATES WITH HER OVER NELSON MANDELA."
BRIAN MULRONEY SMILED AND SAID, "YES INDEED I DID."
PETER ASKED IF HE WOULD BE KIND ENOUGH TO SHARE SOME THINGS SAID BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM.
MULRONEY SAID, "WELL.....MARGARET WOULD GET QUITE UPSET ABOUT MANDELA, AND SAY HE WAS A COMMUNIST! I AS HEATEDLY REPLIED, 'HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT MARGARET? HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO MANDELA? HAS HE TOLD YOU HE IS A COMMUNIST? TELL ME HOW DO YOU KNOW? RECEIVING HELP, MONEY ETC. FROM COMMUNIST GROUPS, WHILE IN PRISON, FOR HIS CAUSE; I THINK I WOULD PROBABLY DO THE SAME.'"
BRIAN MULRONEY WENT ON TO SAY, "I WOULD LOOK AT MARGARET AND SAY, 'I WANT TO BE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY. I DO NOT THINK YOU ARE!'"
PETER ASKED IF MARGARET THATCHER EVER ADMITTED SHE WAS WRONG.
BRIAN SAID, "WELL NOT IN ANY SPECIFIC WORDS. BUT AS HISTORY SHOWED, SHE WAS INDEED VERY WRONG. I AND CANADA WERE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY."
AND THAT IS THE TRUE FACTS OF IT ALL. NELSON MANDELA WAS NOT ANY WHERE CLOSE TO BEING A COMMUNIST, AS HE PROVED WHEN HE AND HIS GOVERNMENT TOOK POWER IN THE FIRST "FREE VOTE FOR EVERYONE" ELECTION, THAT BROUGHT MANDELA TO BE THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT OF SOUTH AFRICA.
ANYONE WITH ANY OUNCE OF MENTAL SENSE KNOWS THE MAJORITY BLACK GOVERNMENT OF SOUTH AFRICA FROM NELSON MANDELA TO TODAY, IS AS FAR AWAY FROM BEING COMMUNIST AS IS BRITAIN, CANADA, AND THE USA.
