I'm watching on cpac.

Good speech from Chrétien, considering he's 90 years old although the people yelling "woooo!" after every other sentence should maybe calm down a bit.

NDP supporter here ... but I've always enjoyed Chretien as a solid leader with a goofy side. It's amazing for me because I'm indigenous and Chretien was the leading edge of wanting to remove native rights in the 70s as minister of indian affairs ... but I still love the guy because he good at heart and I looked up to him in the 90s as prime minister. Lots of respect for him for leading Canada.

Saying all that though ... I'm still an NDPer

That would be me. Sorry. Energy in the room was exciting. A lot of us had the nostalgia factor.
