Jean Chretien on his challenges as Prime Minister

[ammarios]

I am a STAUNCH and hardcore left-wing NDP-er, but if Chretien ran again, I would ABSOLUTELY vote for him, whether he runs under the Liberal banner or heck, even as a Tory (lol I laugh 'coz I know that would never happen..thankfully...it just wouldn't make sense... he's no heartless right-wing Reformacon). My heroes: Pierre Trudeau, Jean Chretien, Tommy Douglas and now, Jack Layton...

[Mack7395]

Jean Chrétien was a great prime minister. He made our budgets he gave us rights. And he respected everyone, Steven Harper never does, he is the Canadian version of George W Bush!

[kentj21]

I was to young to understand politics when Chretien was in office. Now I see what the "Harper Government"C is doing and Im actually scared the direction he is taking my country in. Canada needs another Liberal leader like Mr. Chretien

The Sponsorship Scandal was a sham perpetuated by the Cons and NDP to simply oust the Liberal Party that they knew they would never defeat because they were an impeccable party. The Scandal was a scandal to the people of Canada and a complete sham.

@metyzermanfan19 Impeccable?

Hahahahahahaha.

[metyzermanfan19]

@Boomachucka Perhaps I was overzealous in my statement but that government did more for this country in the 90's and early 2000's than the Trudeau and Mackenzie governments did, COMBINED. They are honestly a marvel to Canadian history. They did everything a PC government promised to do and couldn't (balanced and grossly in debt budget) and united Canada during one of its darkest periods (referendum). The sponsorship scandal is meaningless and involved a insignificant amount of people who had

[metyzermanfan19]

@Boomachucka nothing to do with the PCO or PMO. Not one MP or Cabinet minister or member of the government was charged with any wrongdoing whatsoever. The sponsorship scandal is a blip that was made into a blotch by the Reformers. Even PC'ers who wont vote for the Reform cons who are in power know that. You'll be hard pressed to find an EDUCATED PC'er who votes reform (or modern conservative) as they share almost no common ground. This is barely controversial or arguable.

[Freethinker12341]

best prime minister we ever had

[MaaB102]

@Freethinker12341 It was THE LAST REAL prime minister we had too.

[Freethinker12341]

@MaaB102 yea i know, its a disaster now. Everything Harper is doing to the country. It's an absolute mess.

[WinkyMaeve]

@Freethinker12341 yeah, he was awesome, to say the least.

[TooLateProductions]
