Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other Canadian politicians shared condolences and memories of former prime minister Brian Mulroney on Thursday evening, hours after hearing of his death.

“He was committed to this country, loved it with all his heart and served it for many, many years in many different ways,” Trudeau told reporters. “He shaped our past, but he shapes our present and he will impact our future as well,” he added.

“I know all Canadians join with me in saying that we will miss that deep, beautiful, rich voice and that big, friendly, Irish smile,” Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre said.

Former prime minister Jean Chretien, who served as opposition leader in the final years of Mulroney’s second government, said while they were opponents in politics they “had a lot of things in common.”

Mulroney, Canada’s 18th prime minister, died peacefully, surrounded by his family. He was 84.
