Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1058 - The Life of Jean Chretien with Tom Axworthy

Brian interviews Tom Axworthy. Tom is the Chair for Public Policy at Massey College and former Chief of Staff to PM Trudeau. He talks about former Prime Minister Jean Chretien, who last week celebrated 30 years since he was in government, 60 years since he was first elected as an MP and 90 years of life. Here is a sample of his comments about Jean Chretien: "We should reflect on what made Jean Chretien such a successful and important leader. We can reel off the accomplishments: balancing the budget after decades of deficits, keeping Canada out of the Iraq war, and the Clarity Act to temper the enthusiasm of separatists for never ending referendums, all critical for his time but equally relevant for today. A remarkable life and a remarkable talent. We were lucky to have such a superior leader".
