	IRON MAN - Lawrence Martin - Penguin Books
		Chrétien had watched a decade earlier as Pierre Trudeau, under the chandeliers of the Château Laurier hotel in Ottawa, delighted the Liberal flock with the election-night proclamation “Welcome to the 1980s.” Now a new decade, the nervous nineties, had begun, and it was Chrétien who had a message for the Liberals gathered in the capital.
		Chrétien’s house was near the bottom of the hill, and he liked to point out that it was the bosses who lived, to borrow a Mulroney phrase, right at the fucking top.
		Chrétien was the perceived front-runner and therefore the recipient of the enormous benefits that accrue to those with such status.

		e premier ministre Jean Chrétien a pris un manifestant à la gorge lorsqu'il a essayé de se frayer un chemin en quittant l'estrade hier au Parc Jacques-Cartier à Hull où il prononçait un discours à l'occasion du Jour du drapeau canadien.

		The new provincial government headed by Jean Lesage and operating under the slogans "Il faut que ça change!" and "Maître chez nous" ("It must change!", "Masters in our own house") secularised government institutions, nationalised electricity production and encouraged unionising.
		Chrétien, a Member of Parliament from his native Quebec, became the first Prime Minister to lead three consecutive majority governments since 1945, as the Liberals increased their majority in Parliament to 57% (172 of the 301 Parliamentary seats), with 40.9% of the popular vote.

		Speaker, after Jean Chrétien testified and showed his complete contempt at the Gomery inquiry, the Prime Minister met with his caucus, punched his fists wildly in the air and told them that Chrétien did, “a tremendous job for Canada and for the Liberal Party”.
		Violating Canada's environmental security by trans-boundary water pollution is not an example of what good neighbours do to each other.
		Given his ambition to head the Parti Québécois, will he demand an inquiry into the awarding of these sums as he did for the Liberals?

	JEAN CHAREST CALCULE TROP. ET MAL.
		Jean Charest a si peur de rendre service à Lucien Bouchard qu'il en oublie de se rendre service à lui-même. Au lieu de protester intelligemment contre l'agression menée contre le Québec par Jean Chrétien et Stéphane Dion, il préfère reprocher au Parti qu& une guérilla constitutionnelle dont l'initiative est pourtant, de façon notoire, d'origine fédérale.
		Jean Charest confirme ainsi ce qu'on pouvait redouter depuis la volte-face qui l'a conduit en politique québécoise : il est incapable de prendre du recul, de l'altitude, et il substitue le calcul à la réflexion.
		Jean Charest a peut-être rendez-vous avec telle victoire électorale; il vient de rater son rendez-vous avec l'histoire.
