Chrétien Defends Canada’s Strength Through Kindness | Global News

Former PM Jean Chrétien delivered a powerful message at the 25th anniversary of 9/11 in Gander, reminding the U.S. that Canada’s generosity during the crisis was never weakness—but strength rooted in tolerance and resolve. As Gander sheltered nearly 6,600 stranded passengers when U.S. airspace shut down, Chrétien honored their selfless spirit and called for renewed mutual respect amid current trade tensions. With a standing ovation and a warm embrace from U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra, Chrétien underscored Canada’s enduring friendship, citing shared sacrifice in Afghanistan, and urged both nations to rebuild trust based on dignity and neighborly solidarity.
