Once we had greats like Reagan and Thatcher, now we have babies like Cameroon and Obumma.

French and English are the two official languages of Canada. It is customary to use both in such circumstances. Most important Canadian politicians can and do.

What a shame Mulroney wasn't right and she didn't comeback after being reelected in 1992

The glory days when Mulroney, Reagan and Thatcher led the Free World.

[Random1208]

What was the occasion for her visit?

[bjr43]

Cool. How come he switches between French and English severa times during his opening speech?

[thatcheritescot]

@bjr43 must b to please the french canadians

[blastedwpg]

@thatcheritescot the official languages in Canada are english and french

[Cnd1867]

@bjr43 Canada has two official languages french and english and so it is normal for the Canadian Prime Minister to respect both and switch between them. Also, Prime Minister Mulroney is from Quebec, the province which is majority francophone and his native language is french.

[vancouverology]

@bjr43 Because French and English are both official languages in Canada. Even the Queen Elizabeth when visiting Canada switches between French and English. She speaks an excellent French by the way!

[324wilson]

@vancouverology True. The Queen's French is very, very remarkable.
