As Canada approaches a crucial general election, the 91-year-old former Prime Minister Jean Chretien has been actively campaigning for the Liberal Party in an effort to secure support in over 30 electoral districts. His involvement comes as the party, led by Mark Carney, seeks to repeat or surpass Chretien's historic 1993 landslide victory. Chretien contrasts the presence of the unpopular US President Trump, whose threats against Canada have inadvertently united Canadians and provided a rallying point for the Liberals, positioning Trump as an unwitting asset in the campaign.
Trump has become a central message of Carney's electoral campaign, and the ploy appears to be working: the Liberals are ahead in key battlegrounds and nationally.
Chretien, who secured three consecutive majority governments between 1993 and 2003, has been drumming up support for the Liberal leader, Mark Carney, ahead of Monday's vote.
But they told me that in Canada, you can't give the Order of Canada to someone who has a criminal record.
Trump has helped us so much for Canadian unity that I will propose him for the Order of Canada, he said at a recent event in Quebec City.
