Chrétien being far and away the best pm in my lifetime is sad. At least he called Bush Jr a moron and his political scandals were low key and really really funny.

I loved learning about that time that some whacko was able to walk into the PM residence and surprised Mrs. Chrétien making tea in a night gown (my recollection of the specifics are fuzzy)

Kids these days don't know what a Shawinigan handshake is and that's sad 😞

Also remember the assassination attempt where someone broke in and threatened him with a plastic knife?

I forgot about that. And the classic "for me, pepper, I put it on my plate"

Funniest PM we'll ever have

We need to bring em back...

idk much about him, i will say supporting israel should be a bad public scandal tho lol. it's way too normalized everywhere.

He had silly little real estate schemes and he talked funny. He also kinda had an odd fact but I guess that was from paralysis or something but it was the 90s and we were out here being incredibly ableist
