Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan remarks he feels at home as he mounts his horse for a parade before attending an old-time rodeo and country barbecue. Reagan drew cheers as he told the rodeo crowd "It's kind of hard to find time to get back into clothes like these and back onto a horse." Image provided by Getty Images Photo Credit: Otto Bettmann

Former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney eulogizes Ronald Reagan.

Fun fact: NATO members agreed to a guideline of spending at least 2% of their GDP on defence in 2006. The last time Canada spent 2% of GDP on defence was when Brian Mulroney was Prime Minister (1984 - 1993).

Relevance: Canada’s refusal to keep its spending commitment to NATO is one of many annoyances for the current, and previous U.S. Administrations. Canada is being held to a standard it professes, but does not practice.
