00:00 Canada mourns the loss of its 18th Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, who passed away at the age
00:09 of 84.
00:10 Mulroney, remembered as one of Canada's most beloved leaders, first came into power in
00:15 landslide victory in 1984.
00:18 However, his tenure was marred by tragedy when Air India Flight 182, the Kanishka, was
00:24 bombed by Khalistani extremists in 1985, resulting in the loss of 329 lives.
00:31 Announcing his father's passing on social media, his daughter Caroline Mulroney, also
00:36 a provincial cabinet minister in Ontario, shared that he passed away peacefully surrounded
00:41 by his family.
00:43 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged Mulroney's significant contributions to the
00:48 country's progress, while Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilever expressed deep sadness
00:54 at the loss of a revered statesman.
00:57 Mulroney, a Conservative leader, led his party to a sweeping victory in the 1984 federal
01:03 elections, serving nearly nine years as Prime Minister before stepping down in 1993.
01:10 His legacy includes the crafting of the North America Free Trade Agreement, NAFTA, and his
01:16 early opposition to South Africa's apartheid regime, for which he received gratitude from
01:22 Nelson Mandela.
01:24 Despite his achievements, Mulroney's time in office was marked by challenges, notably
01:29 the Air India bombing tragedy.
01:31 He conveyed his sympathies and condolences to then Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
01:37 As Canada reflects on Mulroney's legacy, the nation remembers him as a leader who shaped
01:42 its modern identity and stood firm against injustice on the global stage.
