  CNN.com - Canadian prime minister says he will not seek 4th term - August 21, 2002
Chretien, 68, was sworn in as prime minister on November 4, 1993, and maintained the seat in the next two victories for the Liberal Party under Canada's parliamentary system of government.
Chretien said he had reached his decision not to seek a fourth term two years ago, when he and his wife of 45 years, Aline, bought an apartment in Ottawa.
Chretien was first elected to the House of Commons in 1963 and quickly worked his way through the ranks of the government, becoming the nation's minister of finance in 1977 and justice minister and attorney general in 1980.

 CNN.com - Canada's Chretien took power through grit - November 26, 2000
But Chretien gradually began to be seen by many as aloof and arrogant, one who delighted in the perks of the job, dished out patronage and ruled his Liberal caucus with an iron fist.
Chretien is an unashamed apologist for activist government and delighted in budget surpluses in the past few years that let him trumpet government programs after self-imposed budget cuts.
Chretien said during the campaign he would consider stepping down after two or three years, and Martin's camp is sure to try to hold him to that.

Even the most infamous attack ad in Canadian history was beginning to sway voters to the Progressive Conservatives when then leader Kim Campbell abruptly pulled it from the airwaves during the 1993 campaign, says one of the men responsible for it.
He cites the "border ad" run by the John Turner Liberals in the 1988 general election campaign, which was focused on then PM Brian Mulroney's quest for a free-trade agreement with the United States.
So they launched ads warning that Canadians wouldn't recognize their country when Harper was done with it, saying he would have drawn Canada into the war in Iraq, opposed abortion rights, would weaken health care and gun laws, and would pull Canada out of Kyoto.

 Worldandnation: Chretien stepping down in '04
With rival Paul Martin openly challenging his leadership of the Liberal Party, Chretien's popularity dipped as many in and outside his party complained he was clinging to power for too long.
The timing was intended to end the rift between supporters of Chretien and Martin, his longtime finance minister who left the Cabinet in June after Chretien indicated he wanted to serve his full five-year term that ends in 2005 and might seek a fourth term.
Chretien's departure was unlikely to bring widespread change to the Liberals, with Martin the main contender to succeed him and Deputy Prime Minister John Manley considered another potential candidate.

OTTAWA -- Jean Chretien, the prime minister of Canada, may have seen his Liberal Party win a second term in office, but he now heads a government with a wafer-thin majority in a Parliament fractured more than ever along regional lines.
Chretien called the election to cash in on his success in cutting the budget deficit, but a host of grievances, from high unemployment to worries about social programs, tripped up his plans.

Mr Chretien, elected in 1993 in a landslide after campaigning to mop up corruption, is facing a flood of allegations about kickbacks and impropriety in doling out contracts to Liberal supporters over the past several years.
Mr Chretien also demoted his minister of public works, Don Boudria, after reports arose that the minister stayed at a posh resort owned by the head of an advertising agency that won contracts from his department.

Chretien has kept a low profile, limiting his explanation to an appearance before the Gomery inquiry during which he defended the sponsorship program as a necessary element of his government's efforts to fight separatism in his home province.
So it is with the reptilian Jean Chretien, who on April 29 made his first public statement on the Adscam furore since he testified at the Gomery commission in February.
Chretien has stated that the sponsorship program was of the utmost importance, as it was conceived in order to “save the country”.

Campbell was not directly responsible for the ad, but ordered it off the air over her staff's objections.

In February, Canada’s auditor-general delivered a scathing report, charging that there was improper documentation of how $100 million in government contracts had been spent and that ad agencies, in at least a half dozen cases, had received large sums for little or no work.
If the opposition charges of Liberal mismanagement and corruption stuck, it was in large part because Martin chose to embrace and amplify them, so as to distance his government from Chrétien’s.
Thus in 1993, the Liberals won the election by promising to make jobs their first priority, attacking the Tories’ “fixation on the deficit,” and promising to scrap the newly-introduced Good and Services Tax (GST) and withdraw from NAFTA unless it was substantially renegotiated.

The usually popular Chretien, the longest serving leader of a leading industrialized nation, is taking a lot of heat both back home in Canada and abroad for what is perceived to be a soft line on terrorism.
In recent years, Canada has been among the most active participants in NATO's peacekeeping efforts in Bosnia, Kosovo and Macedonia, despite the relatively small size of its military.
Nevertheless, Chretien knows that Canada's and his future is dependent on the health of the U.S., and it is likely that he will honor his promise to President Bush to back the war on terrorism "every step of the way."
