He did not keep us out of war
Jean Chrétien, that is. Russia and France did. A letter in the Ottawa Citizen (links added):
Decision by default

Re: Liberal ad links Harper, Bush, Oct. 6.
The Liberal ad says: "Remember how proud you felt when the Liberals told Bush 'no way' on Iraq." That was not what happened at all.
Prime Minister Jean Chrétien made no independent decision not to take part in the Iraq war. He simply said Canada would go along with whatever the UN Security Council authorized. The council did not authorize an attack and no vote was even held because of certain French and Russian vetoes. The Canadian government then said "no" definitively because there was no UN resolution -- the decision was made by default.
In other words, a vital decision of Canadian foreign policy was put into the hands of France and Russia. Some brave, independent, policy. Yet somehow the myth has taken hold that Mr. Chrétien courageously stood up to George W. Bush and on his own kept us out of war. A myth the Liberals are now relying on to help save their election campaign.

One of the Big Lies the Liberals are using, with substantial assistance from the lickspittle MSM, their Ministry of Propaganda.
Parallel election BS down here in The Great Satan. My estimation of most of the North American MSM has gone from disdain, to contempt, to loathing. Between the outright liars, the lazy and the incompetent, there isn't much left worthy of any respect.
