Prime Minister Stephen Harper: Brian Mulroney

Canadian Establishment Dept: Derek Burney is a former senior corporate chief executive, former ambassador to the U.S., one-time chief of staff to Brian Mulroney, and served as the head of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's transition team after the Conservatives won the 2006 election, according to Vancouver Sun. So he's joined the advisory board of an organization being launched Tuesday on Parliament Hill in Ottawa and a pillar of the Canadian establishment, brushing aside the risk he could become embroiled in one of the country's most sensitive political issues, is endorsing a new organization challenging Canadian immigration policy. Canadian society, he said, needs to stop treating immigration as an untouchable "third rail" that can't be debated without prompting allegations of bigotry. As reported in the news.
