	Erick Stakelbeck on Canada & Jean Chretien & Terrorism on National Review Online
		Chretien's ignorance on matters relating to the security of not only Canadians, but also all North Americans, was mind-boggling for a head of state in the post-9/11 world.
		Chretien's insistence on differentiating between the "military" and "political" wings of the Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist groups was a particularly maddening staple of his tenure as prime minister.
		Chretien's replacement, former Finance Minister Paul Martin, has already ruled out establishing a joint immigration pact between the U.S. and Canada, saying, "Immigration...will remain fully within a Canadian decision-making capacity." And that, in essence, is the root of the problem.

	The Globe and Mail: Series
		Prime Minister Jean Chrétien has a reputation as a cautious politician, and so his decision to call an early election with all of these cards in his hand comes as small surprise - although some say he is taking a chance.
		“Jean Chrétien in youth is small, skinny, deaf in one ear, deformed at the mouth, slightly dyslexic, poor of pocket and intellectually unadorned,” wrote biographer Lawrence Martin in The Globe and Mail before the 1997 election.
		Chrétien, who studied law at Laval University, went on to become minister of national revenue under Lester Pearson, and under political mentor Pierre Trudeau, he served as minister of justice, finance, industry, trade and commerce, energy and mines, the Treasury Board and Indian affairs.

	In defence of Jean Chretien
		When the government gives rights to the lowest common denominator such as Canada’s first family of terrorism, the Khadrs, the next thing you know, former prime ministers think they should be entitled to their rights.
		Jean Chrétien was severely criticized for having his lawyers attempt to remove the Commissioner presiding over the Gomery inquiry.
		Chrétien’s argument was that there was a reasonable apprehension of bias on the part of Justice Gomery because he had remarked that Chrétien was "small town cheap" in ordering the production of golf balls with his name on them, using sponsorship funds that are the subject matter of the inquiry.

		Jean Chretien (though now wealthy) is an outsider, an arriviste, and a rags-to-riches political scrapper.
		Jean Chretien is, for them, an unpredictable nightmare; rough, crude, shrewd, and not willing to always use his power in accord with the wishes of the business lobby.
		Chretien honestly believes that in the medium and long term, Paul Martin Junior would be a disaster both for the Liberal party and for Canada.

		Now Canadians can understand why Prime Minister Jean Chretien seems to be in such a hurry to push through a law decriminalizing marijuana.
		Chretien, 69, said in an interview published on Friday that he might give pot a try once it is no longer a criminal offense — presumably after he retires in February.
		Some members of Chretien’s Liberal Party oppose the bill, however, and it is uncertain whether it will pass in time for his retirement — or after.

		Jean was honing his slickness skills when Slick Willie Clinton was a teeny bopper meeting John F. Kennedy at the White House.
		Intentionally or not, every move that Jean Chrétien has made has been in aid of entrenching the country as a Liberal-ruled one party state.
		But by looking bad, the PM was making it easier for PM to look good--not a terribly difficult task for the man whos epitaph is likely to be his most famous statement--"da proof is da proof and when you have da good proof, it’s proven".

		The Canadian Prime Minister, Jean Chretien, has warned the US and other wealthy nations against "humiliating" poorer countries and said perceived Western arrogance had played a part in the 11 September attacks.
		Mr Chretien said in a documentary filmed by Canadian broadcaster CBC that the West was "looked upon as being arrogant, self-satisfied and greedy and with no limits".
		Our correspondent says that as Mr Chretien is the longest serving leader in the G8 group of countries and due to retire in 2004, it could be that he is more ready to show his true colours.

	France II
		Canada’s Leftist Prime Minister Jean Chretien shares the culture, tongue, and anti-American political views of French President Jacques Chirac — both of whom, with typically French modesty, think it no accident that their initials J.C. are also those of Jesus Christ.
		Jean Chretien has followed an anti-American, pro-Saddam Hussein policy that may be bad for Canada, but his family stood to make many, many, many millions of dollars if Hussein could by hook or crook be kept in power.
		If Chretien seems greasy, it apparently is because his family fortune rises or falls by floating on the oil of Saddam’s Iraq and other undemocratic Middle Eastern nations.

		Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien is vacationing in the Dominican Republic this weekend, where he will tee off with former U.S. President Bill Clinton for the newly inaugurated Soft-on-Terror Masters Tournament.
		Chretien's government, naturally, is pleading for leniency in Omar Khadr's case.
		While Chretien golfs, counterterrorism officials estimate that al Qaeda has roughly 75 operatives still on the loose in Canada and that the country remains an operations base for at least 50 different international terrorist organizations -- many of whose members have gained Canadian citizenship thanks to Chretien's chronically lax refugee and asylum policies.
