    1. WoW! Jim Campbell you are one tough nut. With emphasis on nut! You can really hit someone when they’re down. I can only presume no one will come to your funeral.

  1. I’m so sorry for your tremendous loss Prime Minister Chrétien. We all benefitted from your partnership with your gracious, intelligent, lovely Aline and we thank her for her many, many years of service.

  2. No matter what the conservatives say . You and with the help of your wife saved the country Mr. Chrétien. I send my condolences.

  3. It is always sad when we lose someone we love. My heartfelt condolences to Mr. Chretien and to the family during this difficult time.

  4. Aline was a classy lady however her husband was in the top three worst PM’S in Canadian history along with the Trudeau’s. Shawinigate and the Sponsorship Scandal along with choking of a protester. RIP Aline

  5. Such a sad day. My family sends our sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to the Chretien family. Very strong Lady.

  6. “ they were a team”, “ close confidant “… does that mean she was aware of his role in the sponsorship scandal?
