Used Book in Good Condition
> the Ottawa Citizen most certainly covered the story
Not initially they didn't. And when they finally did ...
In 2002, [Ottawa Citizen] publisher Russell Mills was dismissed following the publication of a story critical of Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and an editorial calling for Chrétien's resignation. link
> Can your source the pages from her memoirs? See if it is as you say then she's admitting to a rather grotesque and possibly illegal if not unethical breach of ethics.
Read her book or Conrad Black's book or google because it was well publicized. Chretien went full guns on Conrad Black, including cancelling all federal government advertising in the National Post. And you can see, above, what he had happen at the Ottawa Citizen.
> As for Conrad Black, he got his lordship after renouncing his citizenship and I don't think Chreitien wrote those laws so I'm not sure if you actually know what you are talking about.
Conrad Black was prevented from receiving his Lordship by Jean Chretien because Jean pulled a long forgotten, seldom used little law out of the annals of legal history to ensure he couldn't get it as a Canadian citizen. In short, Chretien hated Black because of the stories Black published against him and this was his petty revenge. link
Sounds to me like you need to learn more about the Chretien years. Chretien made Richard Nixon look like a choir boy. Start here: Jean Chretien: A Legacy of Scandal
No, you don't have it at all.
I dislike Jean Chretien very much. He is the most corrupt politician and the biggest liar in the history of Canada. (See Paul Tuns "Jean Chretien: Legacy Of Scandals" for an eye-opening read.)
But he was an author of Charter Of Rights and his 2012 clarification of the purpose of the notwithstanding clause is clear and logical. That it ensures the people are supreme over appointed judges.
What's also clear is that Chretien is now taking a hypocritical stance in saying the Ford shouldn't be using the tool that the Charter equipped him with despite already telling us in 2012 that this is exactly what the notwithstanding clause was intended for.
Chretien is first and foremost a good Liberal solider and will always side with the Liberal Party, and against the conservative, on any cause regardless if it contradicts his long-held logical clarifications.
