Well that's interesting!
Macquarrie was the Progressive Conservative MP from Prince Edward Island from 1957 until his appointment to the Senate in 1979. While publicly loyal to Brian Mulroney, he privately disagreed with the government on several occasions, once saying during a caucus meeting, "You know, a lot of people think I have a prominent nose because of my enjoyment of a certain beverage. Well, that's all nonsense. I got it that way by having to hold it so often while voting for some of Mulroney's bills."
