CBC is conducting a “vendetta”: Former PM Mulroney
Journalists at the CBC and other media outlets are conducting a “vendetta” against former prime minister Brian Mulroney, said Mulroney Monday.
“Twelve years [after initial allegations regarding the Airbus controversy first appeared], the same people at the CBC and certain other people in the media who were at the origin of the 1995 accusations, are still conducting their vendetta.”
Mulroney wants the federal government to drop the independent review of allegations he faces and proceed immediately to a full-blown public inquiry into the matter.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced Friday that he would appoint an independent adviser to review allegations in an affidavit by German-Canadian businessman Karlheinz Schreiber that include a claim that while Mulroney was still in office, the two struck a deal for the former prime minister to be paid $300,000 after he left public life.
