I consider myself a right-winger, but still have respect for Cretien. I rather like his approach to politics, which is to treat the other side as a respected opponent, rather than some kind of evil strawman. And yes, he made the right call to stay out of Iraq.

He is 91 and better spoken than many 40 somethings I know. Bravo, Chrétien!

[westbccoast]

Chrétien looks awesome, looks healthy and happier, inspiring at his age. Still on his game at his age, amazing. Love this guy, so pro Canadian, he rocks.

What a contrast to many politicians of today. I miss this straight, direct talk approach. There's something positive to be said for civility.

It’s so great to hear Cretien take on things. I find him reassuring. ❤❤
His approach is best. Stay calm and know this too will pass.
We should never cave to a bully.
❤🇨🇦💪👏👏👏👏

Watching this interview, I felt like I was listening to an elder in the tribe...maybe a great uncle. A great statesman for sure.

Excellent interview. Great to hear from a smart and rational former top politician with a solid memory of the past, like Mr.Chrètien.

He’s the only guy who’s easier to understand at 91 than he was at 51.

[chachaman]

Chretien is a soothing politician. I think it’s because of his integrity and character.

[jayneelinor]
