Former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien recently celebrated his 90th birthday.
Despite their political differences, another former Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, sent him a birthday greeting, suggesting that former opponents can bury the hatchet over time.
This display of camaraderie and respect between former leaders is a rarity in today's political climate.
In contrast, current political leaders, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, do not seem to have this same level of respect for one another.
In speaking with the media recently, Chrétien criticized Poilievre’s characterization of Canada as "broken”, arguing that attacking institutions undermines the unity of the country.
We discuss the state of the country with Dr. Lori Turnbull, Chair & Professor of Public & International Affairs at Dalhousie University in Episode 37 of The Bill Kelly Podcast.
