My Stories, My Times, Volume 2

More about the book

Following on the heels of his bestselling collection of political reminiscences, former Canadian prime minister Jean Chr�tien still has a few more stories to tell. With anecdotes and reflections both serious and light-hearted, My Stories, My Times, Volume 2 is a unique window on our country from one of its greatest statesmen and patriots.With a career that spanned decades and an active retirement after that, it should come as no surprise that Jean Chr�tien's illuminating, perceptive and often humorous stories could not be contained in just one book.This collection of essays features his trademark candour and ever-sharp political acumen, with plenty of wit to accompany the wisdom. With a delightful randomness, he remembers events and personalities that shaped our nation in a multitude of ways, and offers his views on international current events, including Canada-China relations, Brexit, and interprovincial dealings. Jean Chr�tien's stories serve to remind us that there is more to unite than divide us as a country, and that we have institutions we can take enormous pride in and values we must strive to maintain and keep building upon. Above all, these stories illustrate Jean Chr�tien's firm belief that we must never cease searching for common ground despite our differences.
