"He failed to eliminate the GST. He almost lost Canada to the separatists. And many people feel he could have prevented the sponsorship scandal. But if confronted with these and other b3sfailings,b4s Jean Chrťien would reply: So what! The story of the feisty b3slittle guy from Shawiniganb4s is still one of triumph, hard work, and determination. Dyslexia affected his speech and a childhood illness paralyzed one side of his face. Being teased and laughed at eventually turned him into a schoolyard scrapper. Neither flashy nor smooth, Jean sure could sound funny at times. He still holds the dubious honour of being misunderstood in both of Canadab2ss official languages. But he had the smarts to get into power, stay in charge, and get a lot done. Not bad for a kid who was always in trouble at school, eh?"--Publisher's website (www.jackfruitpress.com)
