The Chrétien speech brought the tears; he embodies what being Canadian is about and makes me so proud of being a Canadian! I remember how much my parents both loved him as well.

He is an icon. So passionate about Canada, and sometimes hard to understand when he expressed it, 😀 but the Shawinigan handshake will remain in my memories forever.
I met him when he was the Minister of Finance under Pierre Trudeau. I shed a few tears listening to him speak this evening. We should all be so proud of the things our country has accomplished through the challenges history threw us.
His eloquence and wit put most other politicians to shame. Makes me even more frustrated when you hear Trump speak. Who could listen Trump and feel inspired in the same way?

My dad, a 'Joe Clark Conservative', loved Jean Chrétien.
Smart, witty, unapoligetically patriotic. Go Chretien!
I AM CANADIAN 🇨🇦💪
