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

The increased Liberal momentum has boosted the NDP's chance to win my riding substantially so I'm definitely grateful for that.

Carney seems like he's open to electoral reform so hopefully this is the last FPTP election.

Not Canadian, no dog in this race, but also in a FPTP government so yeah, fingers crossed you guys girls and everything around it get a proportional system.

Thank you! Any system is better than FPTP. I'm hoping we go MMP as we then get the best of both worlds.
