Today wasn't just the birthday of our 1st Prime Minister. It was also the 91st birthday of our 20th, Jean Chretien.

Jean Chretien will be remembered as a foundational Prime Minister for Canada who oversaw some of the most significant social and economic progress in our countries history.

Many remember that he kept Canada out of the Iraq War, but he also won a historic 3 Majority elections in a row, the first Prime Minister in nesrly 100 years to do so.

Happy birthday, Prime Minister. Thank you for being the first politician to inculcate a lifelong passion for politics in me.
