Former Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney has died. He was 84.

“He died peacefully, surrounded by family,” his daughter and Ontario MPP Caroline said in a post to X on Thursday.

Mulroney, Canada’s 18th prime minister, led successive Progressive Conservative majority governments between 1984 and 1993.

Mulroney’s family said last summer he was improving daily after a heart procedure that followed treatment for prostate cancer in early 2023.

Mulroney, who headed the Progressive Conservative party, soared to the largest majority mandate in history when he was elected in 1984.
