“…. the totally unacceptable insults and the unprecedented threats to our very sovereignty from US President, Donald Trump.” —Jean Chretien, former Prime Minister of Canada

Jean Chretienis a great Canadian. He stood up to US President George W. Bush’s war machine in 2003. Now he is standing up in 2025 to the bullying of USPresident Donald Trumpon another vital issue, one where the stakes are much larger than most people realize.

In 2003 Jean Chretien wrote one of the best chapters in Canadian history when he refused to authorize the Canadian Armed Forces to join George Bush’s Coalition of the Willing in the disastrous invasion of Iraq.

Jean Chretien stood up to the squadrons of hysterical war-mongers, including the Canadian Parliament’s Opposition Leader, Stephen Harper. Chretien said NO to a classic US psyop based on a very BIG LIE. I saw Chretien’s stance at the time as the crowning culmination and justification for his many years of public service in the Canadian government.

Chretien refused to go along with the concocted narrative that the government ofSaddam Husseinwas on the verge of getting weapons of mass destruction. Beneath that surface lie was the even bigger foundational lie characterizing the 9/11 attacks as the work ofOsama bin Ladenand al-Qaeda.

The CIA-cultivated mercenaries of Al-Qaeda are in the news again. This time around the supposed culprits of 9/11 have been cast in the role of prominent actors in the US-Israeli-backed proxy forces providing a veil of deception to hide what is really going on in the remaking of Syria. The US and Israeli governments are leading the way in yet another shit show rivalling NATO’s war of mass destruction in Libya. The Global War on Terror is an ongoing scam designed to poison minds against manufactured “Islamic terrorists” in order to enable the continuation of US wars for Israel.

Now Jean Chretien has intervened to call out the verbal excesses of Donald Trump as he wanders deeper and deeper into a rhetorical swamp of his own creation. Says Chretien,

As one old guy to another…. give your head a shake.. What could make you think that Canadians would ever give up the best country in the world…. to join the United States?

The poorly schooled Donald Trump probably sees Canada as just a pale version of the United States. In making that assumption, he is far from alone. Many Canadians probably think the same thing. Now after the massive institutional destruction done by the COVID debacle, Canadians cannot blithely refer to “free health care” as the all-purpose justification for Canada’s existence.
