THE MIRAGE OF POLITICS - 2019
THE MIRAGE OF POLITICS - By Bernard Bujold - It was in the fall of 1984, 35 years ago. I remember a sunny October morning walk in front of the Canadian Parliament when I was part of Brian Mulroney's team, young and newly appointed following the September 4 election. I sat on a bench and for a while I thought our young and passionate team would change the world... It did not take me long to discover that political power is a mirage and that it does not really exist. If power is freedom of action, then the only power that really exists is economic power. www.lestudio1.com
