• Nebula Finalists 1987

    From James Nicoll@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jun 10 13:39:26 2024
    1987! Iran-Contra confirmed that Republicans can break the law without
    serious consequence, Matthias Rust visited Moscow, and the impending
    Meech Lake Accord was heralded by all as an inevitable constitutional
    triumph that would establish Brian Mulroney as the greatest PM and
    provide the Progressive Conservative Party with an unbreakable lock
    on the federal government.
