Malcolm S.: I don't know why people continue to disparage Ex-Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Personally, I think we should all applaud his willingness to take on odd jobs to earn some extra cash once out of public office. And apllaud his willingness to step out of convention and into the relatively little known market of "enveope unstuffing." Oh, it would have been safe and easy to go into envelope stuffing from home, but Brian took a flyer on this new opportunity practiced in bars and hotels and scored large. Must we Canadians always, always take pot shots at the risk takers/successful amoung us? I say kudos to Brain. To the rest of you I say, give the guy a break. (Or an envelope) May 25, 2008 17:28 EST
