I am not a big fan of the liberals and now that the election has started here in Canada I am going to weigh in as much as I can.
Why is it that Liberals are so in love with Jean Chretien. The guy may have been Prime Minister for almost 10 years but longevity does not neccesarily mean good results or a good reign. During Jean’s reign the country almost split up from both Quebec seperatists as well as western seperatists. During his power there was a better economy only by doing trade with the US and he was even able to piss off George Bush when he got elected south of the border. There is the liberal party siphoning money from government contracts and finally there is the mess that he has left the Liberals with now.
In the last election just because he had differences with Paul Martin, Jean Chretien would not campaign for his old party and said that his time was over. I have never heard of a former head of state turning his back on his party like this. Now with an election in it’s second day Jean Chretien again has decided to create press for himself by protesting Gomery and again reminding the Canadian people that the Liberals have a scandal not quite behind them.
The best thing that Paul Martin can do now is kick Jean Chretien’s ass out of the Liberal Party.
