He is old and with out a teleprompter he talks better that any of our current politicians
Ya.. listening to Joe/Brandon is a disater
@MrAk519 😂😂😂👍👍
Still crying over the last election? 👶🏻👶🏻🍼🍼🍼
@Scott William how much do you get paid
When Chretien was PM, Canada was #1 as the best country to live. Now Canada is 16th.
@Ace Lovelace and don’t forget the golf ball scandal….
@simac06 I’m not a boomer. But obviously I can’t convince an over privileged Gen z who blames all their county’s problems on the generation before them.
@simac06 run to your safe space now little one.
@simac06 okay? So take the reins !
@Jay S Pretty sure Chrétien let in plenty of refugees. He also criticized Harper for not letting in more Syrian refugees.
I voted Jean chretien every mandate , he truly embodies the virtues of experience over privilege.
And handshaking
I never voted for him
@Milly LeCompte Are you old enough to have done it?
The best PM of Canada since I immigrated here … Life in Canada was like a heaven on earth then … 😔
Wish him health and all blessings 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
If you don’t mind me asking, where did you immigrate from?
And welcome to our great country as well, we’re happy to have you here. (:
Canada is hell on earth new compaired to what it was years ago
PM Cretian has more integrity, authenticity and principles in his baby finger than our present pm’s brain.
The best leader the Liberal party ever had.
@Rowdy_Roddy67 Sure was. I was too young to vote for him when he was in office. But if he were the pm today, I would vote Liberal in a minute. One of the smartest men running Canada to date.
Ummm he was a thief.
Wow! We need more like him. Kept Canada out of a war (Iraqi)
I respect him so much because he wasn’t an ultra neoliberal. He was quite agnostic.
We need some one like you again to make Canada great
Lol the bigest tiff in Canadian history on display
I respect PM Chrétien for having the courage to speak his mind and say things as it is without the twists and turns.
“We’ll circle back” every politician ever
I have mixed feelings on Chretien. But he is the last of the true Liberals.
I’m conservative but I would elect him in a heartbeat. He’s more conservative than our conservatives and he’s liberal!
He was canadas biggest crook
@Ranjit Na that’s Trudeau
He was a corrupt politician, remember the sponsorship scandal? That thing costed Canadian tax payers 40 million dollars, and at least 4 to 6 million went straight back to the party.
@Ranjit How, I will hear you out, although I can’t promise to agree.
Same
This is wisdom.
The last LIberal Leader with common sense.
REALLY, THE GUY WAS CANADAS BIGGEST CROOK
Unfortunate he was a thief .
@Ranjit CORRECT
Chretien and Harper were solid leaders.
Oh how we have fallen.
Chretien, yes, Harper, no.
Jean Chretien was one of our finest Prime Ministers. Sometimes , speaking off the cuff makes for the best diplomacy……
He is so right about “passing the buck” that is the only weapon Alberta has “tried” to used since Peter Lougheed. And Lougheed never used it because he new it was a losing cause.
Wasn’t a huge Chretien fan back in the day, but holy smokes, sure wish we had him now?
“I put the puck in the net” 😂 … living legend Mr. Chretien .
I wish we could all love our current prime minister as much as we love Jean.
Behold. An actual liberal by definition. Like harper he was the pm to balance a budget. I’m glad hes criticizes trudeau. We r absolutely fuct with the inflation that’s coming.
Did Canada seriously once have Prime Ministers that could honestly answer questions without avoiding anything critical, or just simply pandering to social movements?!!
