As a prime minister, Jean Chretien possessed superior political instincts, which helped him stay a member of parliament for forty years. Chretien also often appeared at Liberal fundraising events. He showed outrageous political experiences in terms of pursuing popular policies for the public, and running campaigns. One of his constants was his ability to speak to the public, sometimes blending English and French to connect with his audience. Although Chretien failed in his first bid for the leadership of the liberal party against John Turner in 1984, this did not cause him to give up. Chretien ran for leadership once again in 1990, and this time he won. Chretien was able to resolve issues quickly. In 1999, one of the most important achievements

The years following the Second World War were bleak in regards to Canada's future as a country, with the public and politicians alike set against each other, but soon a Québec man by the name of René Lévesque entered journalism, and then politics, voicing his views for all to hear, with great success and vigour. Though obstacles presented themselves often in his life, he changed the views of Québec, Canada and the world as a whole. René Lévesque was a passionate and charismatic politician who greatly contributed to post-war Québec and even today through his beliefs in separatism, founding the Parti Québecois and passing Bill 101.

Ronald Reagan is known as the "Great Communicator" by many. In 1992, as he delivered a speech at the Republican Convention, one would not doubt his excellence in public speaking. He demonstrated superiority of speech and was easy to critique because of the situation, the content of his speech, his credibility, and his delivery.
Joseph Jacques Jean Chretien is the 20th Prime Minister of Canada. He served in a position as a Prime Minister from 1993 to 2003.

Paul Martin was extraordinary with the spending of Canadian dollars. 1998 was the year he finally erased the $42 billion deficit created by Prime minister Jean Chretien. Martin was very familiar with spending and not spending in order to help Canadians as he had been Finance Minister for 10 years under Mr. Chretien.

Henry David Thoreau was born David Henry Thoreau on July 12, 1817, Concord, Massachusetts. He had three siblings, John, Helen, and a younger sister, Sophia. His mother, Cynthia Dunbar, rented parts of their home, and his father, John, operated a local pencil factory. As a very smart and promising student, he went to Harvard College (Bio).

His brother John died from tetanus while they were running a grammar school in Concord, the Concord Academy (Life and Legacy). Louisa May Alcott was one of their students (Schmoop).
Sir George-Etienne Cartier is born on September 6, 1814, and is a horrendous father of confederation. In George’s speech, he is trying to introduce a new way of living for us, Canadians, that is a disgraceful way to survive. I honestly don’t like that idea because the way that we live currently is an impeccable way of living. I am not falling for Cartier’s deception to make us all vote for him as he is only going to completely change our lives.
