With former prime minister Jean Chretien now firmly attached to the walls of Parliament (again), its time to remember the last prime minister to hang. And no, Kim Campbell doesn't count.

In 2002, Brian Mulroney's portrait was added to the majestic halls of Parliament Hill's Centre Block outside of the House of Commons. As usual, there was an anti-Mulroney protester intent on making an arse of himself. As usual, Brian Mulroney soothed things over with his deep baritone voice by making light of things. And as usual, then-prime minister Jean Chretien tried to strangle the protester (I exaggerate only slightly). Fortunately for him, security protected him from the feisty Shawinigator before his hands could be firmly grasped around his neck.

The hanging of Brian Mulroney, and the endless and no-longer humorous puns about executing prime ministers: A part of our heritage.
