OTTAWA -- Former Liberal prime minister Jean Chretien says that Canada is "more united than ever," despite the divisions exposed amid the cross-Canada rail blockades in solidarity with some Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asked for patience when it comes to resolving the ongoing dispute over the development of the Coastal GasLink pipeline project in British Columbia. The former prime minister also weighed in on some of the pressure that Trudeau has faced amid these protests, saying that Trudeau "has absolutely no authority" to have the police intervene when there is a blockade.
I don’t think so
CTV seems surprised. Don't you live here too?
Ha what a crock
He is truly out of touch with reality if he believes what he is saying
Clearly showing signs of age related dementia. However chipper enough to be an ardent pro China lobbyist.
nope its not
True. I've never seen so many separatist parties unite.
Out of touch.
No no its not : it's more ready to separate then ever before
He needs to be quiet.
JeanChretien looks like he might have had a stroke or something He's not thinking straight
This man lives in a Liberal bubble
In case you guys haven’t seen this
That’s a lie
Hahahahahahaha more than ever my ass.
He’s obviously senile.
They may be united but not obvious under inexperienced Trudeau and his advisors are same.
Good to see Jean Chretien is more clueless than ever.
I love that guy.
Chretien is either willfully blind or senile. The is a resurgence of the bloc and western separation movement AND heighten tensions between indigenous and non indigenous. More liberal BS. TrudeauMustGo TrudeauUnfitForOffice
Sorry Chrétien go back to retirement. Canada is more broken than ever before and if Trudeau told you to say what you said then you just sold Canada out.
An old dog liberal out of touch with the people.
I think he had one toke to many before he made this statement!
The lying to Canadians (by anyone willing to do so, wink, wink), has become SO obvious, it’s PATHETIC! 🇨🇦 CanadaIsBroken TrudeauIsNotFitForOffice
Politicians are in the business of solving problems. I did it for 40 years and had alot of fun. We are stronger than we ever have been.
Delusion
Canada will be United when we get our socialist dictatorship government out of power.
Does this man have his hand up the back of Trudeau’s shirt?
Says the man behind the ShawiniganHandshake with protesters.. cdnpoli
God Bless.
In a way he’s right. More people are united in getting Trudeau the hell out before he completely ruins the country
old french liberal farts are as out of touch as ever
Chretien knows Canada and proved his mettle many time times in the past. He knows whereof he speaks.
Drunkard
LOL. Delusional.
“I will have my 20 dollars in one hand and my joint in the other.”
Go back to sleep Jean.
in his elite french rich snob cronyism world it likely is. corruption bands together like best friends in the LPC & has ignored the west for decades TrudeauNotFitForOffice
Dementia?
My sympathies to the Chrétien family. I had an uncle with dementia,it’s a terrible disease,and takes it’s toll on a family. Maybe what Jean meant to say was “my family is more united than ever” since my diagnosis with dementia
Ironic that Mr. Chretien is the voice of national unity, we almost lost the country while he was PM. If not for the passionate defense of Canada by Brian Tobin and Jean Charest, the separatists would have won the 1995 referendum.
Is he drunk
clueless. parts of Canada want to separate and can't trust the govt but yeah, we are so united....lol...
Delusional old man
Ask him about his brother Michel’s anti-viral stuff that might work on Coronavirus
A Liberal praising another Liberal.
Smart man❤️
His sick in head also. Go home old man and have cup tea
He right! Canada is United … to kick JT OUT!
Does he still like a little pepper on his steak? Has CTV forgotten how much he enjoyed seeing the anti-APEC protesters roughed up?
Love Chrétien! He was my childhood PM. When I started to realize politics he took the best decision I can remember- he said no to Bush and we didn’t go into the Iraq war. It might have ruffled feathers, but his 1 was Canadians and respect for international law cdnpoli
Uhh nope definitely not sir.
This party was voted out for stealing tax payer money. He is not news in my books.
Chretien is like the grandfather we all need right now.
Absolutely right. Families don’t always get along but they don’t break up over it. This hysteria has to stop. Canada is fine
United against the Liberals I hope
For a liberal i like this guy
Right on. A few entitled Albertans who thought the party could go on forever do not constitute a unity crisis
So many trolls in the comments. Its almost as if someone were paying people to spread dissent...😏
Lovely propaganda digging up a fossil to push your agenda.
Myopic, tone deaf and completely out of touch
the old bird is senile
Typical Liberal 'head in the sand' comment.
For decades the corrupt Liberal parasites have been in the pocket of China and greying their own palms to the detriment of Cananda. Libranos cndpoli
He's out of touch, yes, but he still has more gravitas at 86 then JT will ever have.
Old fool!! Some things never change!!
Jean Chretien told reporters the country is 'more united than ever.' ... I think Jean Chretien may be showing signs of dementia.
Old and senile
Damn, I miss this guy!
Oh really ? That’s funny. Liberals
Danskine1 He’s a bigger liar than Trudeau.
Still oblivious.
that reporter was mad disrespectful
Wow remember this is the “ the truth is the truth when you have the truth it’s the truth” guy
Will someone please shut that side of his face that opens as a mouth !!
LOL The country just about divided with the Quebec Referendum during his term as PM (almost as close as Brexit)! And it's closer to dividing now (Alberta, BC, etc) than anytime since that referendum! But he got his signed golf balls (and golf course).🤣
I agree, United in their dislike of Trudeau's continued antics.
Jaime_Bassa vea como se comporta un líder de verdad. Ex PM de Canada Jean Chrétien.
He has always looked like he just suffered a stroke, now he sounds like it too.
😂😂😂😂😂
DELUSIONAL,QUIT DRINKING THE MAPLE SYRUP...
Now I really love Chretien but this is the biggest crock of bull
The majority of Canadians disagree.
He hasn't even started his job yet and he's already wrong. Canada is more divided than ever. Unless they don't consider west of Ontario Canada anymore. Are we going back to Upper Canada and Lower Canada days?
This man is a Canadian Legend and Proud to have voted for him
I think your wrong! You liberals all stick together don’t you!
Nice to see he is still clueless.
A true Quebecer... keep the money coming from the West...
RubyMcrae Why are people in AB so angry ... Kenney is not saving them ... Trudeau is doing a great job ... look at the shit show in the USA
The hillbillies are gonna disagree with the educated people on this one!
The only bonds between Canadians are economic in nature. That's what people are waking up to - how desolate and fragile this f'n place is.
Time to sit down and say nothing Jean. What a disgrace . I see CBC and CTV are bringing in all the support they can muster for Trudeau.
He’s smoking the same pot as Trudeau!
'More united than ever'
Against the current federal government, we are more united than ever, 😂😂
Yes, a large majority of us are united ... United in getting JustinTrudeau removed from office. TrudeauMustGo PlaidArmy
All his smoking CO has caused too much brain damage. But he is another blind Quebecer!
I will never forget he ran his campaign saying he’s going to scrap the hst. Then he said no I did not say that. Then it ended with the sponsor ship scandal
Great ask another left wing nut job
The Frenchie is gettin' on in age. Illusions and fantasy are quite normal. Poor guy - early onset something?
He’s right. We are not perfect but we are heading in the right direction. Except Kenny. He’d rather give $100,000,000 to gas and oil to close wells. Paying them to clean up their own mess. Created 500 temp jobs. Could have retrained a lot more than 500 ppl.
How much was he paid to say that.
He works for Chinese companies.
😂😂 really?!
...and thereby discrediting anything he may have said previously.
Ah! A frenchman telling Canada it is OK, yup!
This guy is fuking insane!!! Just like his nephew Trudeau!!
When an old libtard is asked to comment on a new libtard. sidetalkerChretien & twofaceTrudeau
I doubt that look carefully conservatives wants to separate and topple the liberal government I don’t call that united at all
Remember when he slapped around that one reporter, or that fancy golf course in his riding ?
He’s just plain wrong on this one.
CTV why dont you ask conservative leadership why so much hate? If regular folk out here can do better researching than you, maybe you should review their jobs. Makes me question weather your helping make a division?
Lol no it's not
Fucking Idiot!!
rachaiello I'm not sure actively trying to kill the economy of regions that didn't vote Liberal is uniting Canada.
It’s so easy for the elite to sit in their fancy home, collect their big pensions and decide from on top of their hill how well the peasants below are doing.
I think he needs a mental health checkup. Delusions appear to be setting in.
More united than ever - priceless....then Jean, how do you explain the rise of separatism in QC and AB since that POS Skippy got in?
😂😂😂 yeah and Trump is the reason the birth of boys is declining in Ontario. 👌
Not so sure about that
