The most common sense I have heard in a long time. He is a clear, rational and knowledgable. A very capable analyst of politics. Far better than anyone since his time.
I will always remember that. Likely he came this decision because he is a Francophone. Another French speaking leader at that time, Jacques Chirac of France, also refused to go to war against Iraq. Chretien would have not listened to the Americans to arrest the daughter of the owner of Huawei either.

@@RyanBrown-w4n If you listen to Chretien closely, he's basically saying that as challenging as things are, the challenges are not as new as we think. Back in 2003, we thought that Canada would face big economic problems for opposing the Iraq War, but it turned out Canada did just fine after Chretien said that Canada would have no part in the Iraq War and the result was that Canadians did not have to serve in Iraq. So the common sense is that, in the midst of all this theatre, we are going to be ok.
Never forget that he helped enable our rubber noodle "Charter of Rights and Freedoms" with Pierre Trudeau ,which was sufficiently vague to allow Supreme Court justices to twist it however they wanted to make laws for the entire country and even reason why certain provisions of the Charter no longer matter. Hero? History will say No!
the part where he said that we can survive a trade war with the USA suggests senility and/or stupidity, but he's a cool dude nonetheless. chretien inherited a free trade deal that america basically stuck to during his years, so he's out of his element here

You can thank President Trump for ousting Trudeau. Since you were heading in the same direction as the UK with Trudeau, maybe you should show some appreciation for Trump saving you from that! He's not a bully, he's saving your ash from being taken over!
Chrétien's point that the news gives Trump "a lot of space" is accurate, and depressing. I'm so tired of seeing Donald Trump's devious face... In contrast, it is so nice to hear M Chrétien!! 😊

Wow, do I ever miss Chretien. No spinning, no blank stares, no "show". Just dignified straight talk in simple terms that comes from a place of wisdom, expertise, and strength. One of my fave highlights of him as PM is from back in the 90s when he declined attending the funeral of some foreign ruler. Amidst great international controversy over his decision, Chretien stood by his decision to take some well-deserved time off as planned so he could be with his family.
My fondest memory of Mr Chrétien is the time a heckler pushed through his security detail and the PM grabbed the guy by the throat (and never had his terminator dark glasses move).
Probably 10 years ago, I was walking to work in Vancouver on a quiet street and I passed him just walking down the sidewalk talking with one other guy and no security. I guess PMs are not required to have security for life and he wouldn’t need it. I had to do a double take it was such a strange thing to see. Can you imagine George Bush just going for a walk in your city?

Another TDS victim! How sad!
As I said to many I know and many that know me. One of our Best P talking in behalf of all Canadians. And as you see. He is in his 90 and has his wits. Happy Birthday P and happy is. What Canada is and will always be.
Prime Minister Chretien is very correct! Thank you PM Chretien. ❤❤❤
I love the right honourable Chretien❤ I'm an American born and raised. I love the style I love his fearless Outlook for the great country of Canada. Bravo sir ❤️☘️🤟
Chretiien is clearly a wise person.
He makes much more sense as a retired prime minister than the soon coming President
Now, that is how you lead. With respect and sense. What a breath of fresh air.
Trudeau essentially said the same thing, lol
Happy Birthday Mr Chrétien, thank you for your your service to Canada🎉
A proud Canadian and a true patriot.
At 91, you look fantastic. I was privileged to vote for you back in the days. Happy birthday 🎂
I immigrated to Canada when Chretien was still Prime Minister. Time flies
Old is gold.
It’s nice to hear the lucid words of Mr. Chrétien. At 91 he is well above Trump in intellect and leadership skills.
When Chretien was in office, he fixed he budget deficit but subsequent governments wreck it all. On that score alone we own gratitude to him.
Freeland should have had a tighter hand on our purse,letting Trudeau or whoever propose these dumb ideas and fund them should have been slapped.
Great to see Mr Chretien, we wish you happy birthday sir ❤
Here is a 91 year old politician who is so much more rational and intelligent than our current batch of Canadian leaders.
We can only hope they ask for guidance once in awhile.
Nobody’s perfect,any help should be appreciated.
Chretien can still deliver a Shawinigan handshake.
❤❤❤
if you believe this you're definitely an ndp/lib voter 😭
@@spiderjerusalem6887can we just not do this. We’re not American and don’t need this mindless nonsense
He should give one of those handshakes to Trump and hold in!
On Trump hopefully
Best Politician Canada ever had ..
