Ex-PM Jean Chretien's memoirs

[mattsnow81]

He kept us out of war, he was awesome. He actually had a spine.

[The67rockstar]

They would be easy to write. Monday . Screwed Canada. Teusday. Screwed Canada. Wednesday. Screwed Canada. Thursday . Screwed Canada, Friday , Screwed Canada, Saturday , Screwed Canada.......... Liberal crook. If there was any justice in Canada he would be rotting in jail

[jeepdogpet]

@The67rockstar Lol how did he srewed Canada? By balancing the budget? You need to give facts you can't just say he sucks.

[The67rockstar]

@jeepdogpet I guess you wern't around then. He robbed the federal employee pension funds. He took all the surplus money from the U.I. fund. He cut transfer payments to the provinces. He decimated the Canadian military. Cut healthcare by millions and thats not even metioning any of the scandals he was involve in. And by the way. This is Canada. I can say any goddammed thing I want. With or without facts so kiss off.

[allenco0000]

he should be leader of canada for all his life ,

[Apophis150]

Chretien was a thief who commited fraud against the Canadian government and stole out taxes for his personal wallet.

[laceup1967]

Not surprisingly, the negative media response comes from a Blatchford wannabe.

[Bojaxs]

Jean Chretien was the last true Canadian Prime Minister. The Liberal party hasn't been the same without him.

[PhilipJFry72]

@Bojaxs

No, they're still evil, incompetent, and petty. In that vein, they're following chretien's lead perfectly! Only ignorant fools think of chretien as anything other than a monster.

[FlapwingPublisher]

A great Prime Minister with an open heart for Canadians of every shade.

We miss him and feel sad seeing his deteriorating heath.

[PhilipJFry72]

@FlapwingPublisher

No "WE" won't. Canada won't - except the normal observed formalities, of course. chretien was an incompetent monster who's legacy of corruption has stained this country's very soul.

[Chachi1205]

I always stuck by you and believed in you....thank you for all your strenght and work!!! You are very much loved and admired by myself!!!

[CollateralSandwich]

Evan Solomon is a douche.

[h4444m]

No matter what anyone says, he is a true patriot. Who doesn't and hasn't make mistakes in their lives? The few mistakes he's made are trivial. He showed TRUE leadership and patriotism when it mattered!!! Canada needs more leaders and patriots in the country.

Chretien is the best Canada has seen in recent history

My own comment: If chretien is the best, imagine the rest...

[reptheother]

Under Jean Chretien Canada was the best place in the WORLD. I do not care about his personal failures or his relationship with the party. Jean Chretien will be seen as one of the most successful PMs in history, alongside Pearson and Trudeau.

[gopconservative78]

Canada is not a country, we can invade and wipe off the face the Earth...but we want the oil

[PhilipJFry72]

You sicken and DISGUST me.

Chretien will be seen as the MOST CORRUPT and INCOMPETENT PM, as EVIL personified.

[reptheother]

No one is making you watch videos about Chretien, if you feel disgusted go listen to a bland speech by Harper.

If you only like Harper and Mulroney no one is stopping you from watching videos about them.

Jean Chretien, like most people in Ottawa, was not free of corruption. He was hardly incompetent and definitely not evil.

I'm guessing from your comments you are an Alberta conservative that hates everything liberal in this country.

[PhilipJFry72]

NOT EVIL? How can you SAY that? He was - and still IS - the most evil force we've seen in this country, even more than Trudeau.

The list of his malevolence, incompetence, and corruption is exhausting and a matter of public record.

For you to try to deny it is, well, it's beyond belief; it defies rational thought.

[julienbencze]

Thanks to Chretien Canada became the best place to live in the world according to UN Human Development Index and a respected power in the world scene. Stop bad comments please!!

[PhilipJFry72]

WHAT?

WHAT?

No matter how many times I read your statement, the collossal ignorance of it stuns me...

During Chretien's reign, we ranked on the list of most corrupt countries...

That's right... Chretien's Canada was considered a Banana Republic!

We were NOT respected by anyone.

He was/is EVIL.

EH101, Tainted Blood, APEC, Shawinigate, Adscam, etc.

[PhilipJFry72]

What? Piss off. The Conservatives have inherited a fucking mess from the Liberals.

Do you KNOW how the Liberals managed Canada under Chretien? HE CUT FEDERAL TRANSFER PAYMENTS FOR HOSPITALS, ROADS, BRIDGES, SEWAGE, POWER GENERATION, ETC.

You really should do a little research before posting...

[PhilipJFry72]

"Goten" eh?

And once again, asshole, 1995 was at the BEGINNING of Chretien's Decade of Darkness!

Harper didn't take over until 2006, BITCH.

[insanedavis109]

i was aware of that i was saying when the conservatives took power i was assuming you would know that was in 2006. and yes we as a country became the best place to live in 95 according to the un decade of darkness my ass ya u wanna talk about darkness look at harper look how he literaly sucked bushes ass. now hes doing the same with obama hes just a kiss ass to the yankee doodles. chretien didnt kiss ass like harper does. amd he eliminated a huge defecit caused by mulroney (conservative).

[PhilipJFry72]

FUCK YOU. Were you a soldier during the Chretien years? NO? The SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Blah blah blah "Bush"

And NO, Chretien did NOT eliminate the deficit - all he did was shift the expenses on to the provinces and cities!

That explains, you fucking idiot, why so many hospitals closed, so many bridges are falling apart, sewage treatment and water systems are collapsing.

ALL BECAUSE OF CHRETIEN.

You suck at this. Come back when you can actually post something worth reading.

[belovedmakesmusic]

That's not true. Sewage Treatement is provincial responsibility. Bridges fall down all the time. What do you think that songs about. Hospitals haven;t been closing since the mulroney years; also canada doesnt have babies so there is no point in keeping pediatric wards open. its geriatric for the boomers dummy.

[PhilipJFry72]

OH BRAVVVVVVVVVVOOOOOOOO...

Yes, BUT you big fucking dummy, they are supported by FEDERAL TRANSFER PAYMENTS... Payments Chretien CUT.

Canada's quality of life is declining because of chretien's cuts.

No matter how you want to slice it, both you and he are wrong, wrong, WRONG.

[NamelessInCanada]

He was alright if you like a mafia style party and government. It's all in 'da-family' you know. ;)

[MeritisDE]

Bring back Chretien!

He was a great PM!

He also kept Canada out of that disaster in Iraq!!!

[PhilipJFry72]

No, actually, here's the thing about the Iraq involvement - and if you're too stupid or ignorant to care about Chretien's crimes then that speaks to YOUR lack of integrity - Chretien couldn't commit troops to Iraq because we didn't have any to spare, although in truth, the Americans offered us the option to up our contribution in Afghanistan to make it easier on us.

Our navy actually performed operations that supported the initial invasion.

SO, in most ways, we helped the US invade Iraq...

[goldenchocolate]

not 100% true...we still could have actually helped directly the invasion of Iraq, but Chretien said no, and the little fuck nugget (who does nothing other than lie and copy bush) Stephen Harper said he was ashamed to be canadian, RIGHT THERE IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS! Seriously, Chretien wasn't perfect, but he's the one who put Canada on the world potium

[PhilipJFry72]

What do you mean he put Canada on the world podium?

Where were we before?

You're giving Chretien WAY too much credit. About the only thing he did was put Canada on the UN Most Corrupt Country list...

And as for your other comment... blah blah blah "Bush" blah blah blah "Neo Con"... Can't you lefties come up with something ORIGINAL?

[insanedavis109]

we may have helped the us invade iraq atleast we didnt go into full combat missions in iraq like harper would have made us done. the only thing i supported about iraq was taking out hussien but they could have focused there attention on afghanistan but no bush has it in for iraq and what ever the yankees do we have to do and chretien said no more and im so sorry tony blair let bush talk him into the invasion and if we went into iraq i guarentee you the defecit harper is maken would be bigger.

[PhilipJFry72]

What? Listen dummy, all Harper said we should do was contribute. He didn't say ANYTHING about "full combat operations" - everyone knows we can't sustain two combat theatres in our present condition!

ESPECIALLY Chretien, who GUTTED our military to the point where it couldn't function.

Chretien didn't say no to Iraq because of principle, he did it because he knew we couldn't sustain it.

[ludvikaus]

He was a terrible PM. Quebec nearly separated, the gun registry was a complete waste of money, relations with the USA were abysmal, millions of dollars went missing in the sponsorship scandal and called 3 elections in 9 years. He was a power-hungry and stubborn leader.

[insanedavis109]

correction he kept quebec from seperating and i wouldnt praticularly mind if quebec seperated frenchies mooching of our tax payer money they got 5 dollar an hour child care we pay for the subsidies. i agree with you on the gun registry because most criminals get there guns illegaly. the usa canada relationships only went sour when he said no to iraq wich was the best move of his career. and he wasnt soley responisble for the sponsership scandal he was stubbron leader wich is good unlike u no who

[PhilipJFry72]

NO, he - and the Liberals - almost got Quebec TO SEPARATE.

He was ultimately solely responsible for the Sponsorship scandal and he lied on the stand - the Liberals protected Chretien by ensuring the Inquiry had a limited scope.

He was and still is evil, and you haven't provided anything positive about him.

[insanedavis109]

uum what the fuck did u want him to do man mulroney leaves the fucking country in a state of shambles then a liberal comes in and u right wingers try to fucking blame it on him its pretty sad i bet your won of harpers cronies who made dion look like a peice of shit and i wouldnt wanted to be a soldier under harper if harper was pm back then he would of had me fucking killed in iraq by now well show me how the conservatives are helping with the hospitals hell there lettin them be privatized.

[PhilipJFry72]

NO, Mulroney tried to clean up TRUDEAU's messes.

The Liberal Party created Quebec nationalism in the 20th Century in order to guarantee they'd get majority gvts.

Look at how many English Liberal leaders were PM... The LIBERALS raped Canada.

You don't know a goddamned thing about Canada or Chretien or Harper, and honestly, as a soldier, I wouldn't serve with you - you're just too fucking stupid.

[devonrose742]

you can't hate chretien too much, after all, a proof is a proof when you have a proof!

[supablackman]

One of the greatest prime ministers in Canadian history. I think history will do him well.

[PhilipJFry72]

@supablackman

Bullshit! 

[anthonyusaajr]

Chretien was the man!!

[xkavehx]

Chretien is the best Canada has seen in recent history

[gundamWWW]

He had weak opposition after the Referndum and it was clear sailing from there. He's a good guy.

[PhilipJFry72]

@xkavehx

Bullshit.

[btester1]

Bilderberg Paul Martin, SPP what a nice mess you gave us.
