Hi Graystone,
Here I must heartily disagree: I think Mr. Chretien has always tried to achieve a Canada that most Canadians would want, In a country where a majority doesn't necessarily mean anywhere near a popular majority that simply cannot be divined from electoral results. Maybe from tea leaves or better yet a couple of Molsons :o)

I daresay it is highly unlikely that Mr Chrétien ever spoke for the majority of Canadians. 40.8% voted Liberal in 2000.

And what was that the Québec separatists were told ? ...50% + 1 is not enough LOL......
not that I disagree with that but in this context isn't it a bit comical ... Maybe the Albertans will be told they need 80%.. + 1 ;o) for it to be enough if it ever comes to that.... He was probably more popular when he defeated the PC's after his GST and Free Trade promises but let's allow the the old fart some dignity and not go there....

The Liberals are masters @ playing with swing vote or better reversing course once elected. I come from a long line of Liberal supporters (not me) and the thought there unfortunately is my party right or wrong regardless... ....sigh...

regards
Kastel
a cute and cuddly Canadian
