Brian Mulroney: Business Lobby

S Market Dept: Instead, the U.S. got everything it wanted, while Canada and Mexico, which sought constraints on U.S. power as well as "secure access," got neither and twenty-three years ago, on Nov. 21, 1988, Brian Mulroney's Conservatives won their second majority government and signed the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement subsequently the North American Free Trade Agreement , although a clear majority of Canadians -- 52 per cent to 43 per cent -- voted for parties opposed to it. Neither Mulroney, nor his successors, nor the big business lobby that spent $5 million helping him "sell" free trade by branding its opponents "liars," have delivered on their promise to gain Canada "secure access" to the U.S. market.
