TIL that Jean Chrétien was a badass



one of my favourite pieces of Canadiana is the "Shawinigan Handshake, which is featured in the above video.

the best part is Jean Chrétien's commentary after the fact.

it's one of my favourite JC moments, right behind when someone tried to break into The Two-Four and he fended off an assignation attempt until the RCMP got there.

Canadian PMs used to be so cool.

now we have Harper. wtf happened.
