For all those who knew and worked with Brian Mulroney, it was "Brian and Mila". An inseparable team that complemented each other perfectly. Without Mila, Brian would never have become Prime Minister of Canada.
Mila was the René Angélil of the couple and Brian the Céline Dion...
I was on the 1984 team when the Conservative Party won the federal election by a count of 211 seats out of 282. It was too many, because there were too many MPs who all wanted to be a minister, but the hardest part was rallying all those MPs from all over Canada who considered their respective provinces to be the most important...
The 1984 team considered themselves Super Bowl champions. The problem was that those who had won the election, salesmen at heart (like me) and marketing geniuses, were not government managers. Brian quickly understood the situation and surrounded himself with top government officials to surround his salesmen...
"Brian and Mila" were the two stars of the 1984 government.
For me, Brian's death is the death of an important player in a chapter of my life story. It's as if a part of me died with Brian!
But as my namesake Bernard Arnault once said: "You have to live with the living and let the dead live with the dead.
Bon voyage dear Brian Mulroney!
