started under chretien continued through mulroney(Crow, Thiessen). mulroney ended up on barrick's board. considering gold mining was a key factor in establishing the nation's economic history, it is an outrage that the country has no reserves and the head of our central bank is a keynesian clown and our mint has accounting problems.
I think you meant to say Trudeau, instead of Chretien there. It definitely looks like it was started with Trudeau/Turner (Bouey), and that it mostly done by the end of the criminal Mulroney's (Crow) reign. I mistakenly blamed Dodge.
