TRADE INYOURTURNTABLE

For more than 100 years, photographers have pre-

served an extraordinary collection of 20th-century

news photography for The Globe and Mail. Each week,

The Globe features one of these images on a particular

theme. In honour of St. Patrick, the patron saint of

Ireland, we’re looking at Irish culture in Canada

throughout the month of March.

I

n 1985, two leaders of Irish ancestry joined to-

gether to singWhen Irish Eyes are Smiling,a

televised performance that would echo for dec-

ades. Recently elected Canadian prime minister

Brian Mulroney played host to U.S. president Ro-

nald Reagan in Quebec City in a “Shamrock Sum-

mit” on St. Patrick’s Day weekend in a calculated

display of political blarney that he hoped would

reset a strained bilateral relationship. The parallels

to today: a conservative U.S. president hostile to

climate action (acid rain topped the agenda then)

sought change on defence spending and trade

(culture and agriculture were sticking points then

and now). Critics accused Mulroney of “servility”

to Reagan, but the prime minister maintained that

the bond he forged with the Gipper led to future

diplomatic wins for Canada. In 2017, Mulroney

sang a solo encore ofIrish Eyesfor U.S. President

Donald Trump at a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago, jok-

ing: “Mr. President, I hope this doesn’t fracture

U.S.-Canada relations for decades.”
