Great Line
There was a great 22 Minutes skit after the Airbus settlement. When asked to explain the 2 million dollars that were "wasted", the "mounties" answered "when I think about the look in the eyes of the average Canadian at the thought that maybe, just maybe, Brian Mulroney would be going to jail - well, you just can't put a price tag on that kind of happiness."
For all the talk of Bush and Clinton derangement syndromes south of the border, they're mostly outflows of partisan dislike. Mulroney was universally despised when he left power; single-digit approval ratings and the utter destruction of his party as a federal force as his legacy. I'm sure now that the Airbus scandal has resurfaced, a lot of Canadians are getting that old gleam back in their eyes again.
