Brian Mulroney, the former Canadian prime minister who struck a free trade deal with the U.S. but whose legacy was marred by revelations of improper business dealings with an arms dealer, has died.

His daughter Caroline Mulroney shared a message on the social media site X on Thursday, stating that her father passed away quietly in the company of family. In age, he was 84.

Mulroney had a heart procedure in August and was treated for prostate cancer earlier last year, she said in a social media post in late August 2023.

Mulroney, a former corporate lawyer turned businessman, guided the center-right Progressive Conservatives to a historic victory over Pierre Trudeau’s Liberals in 1984.
