Jagmeet Singh 领取养老金
在过去的五年里，特鲁多一直领导着一个少数派政府，这意味着他可能在 2019 年以来的任何时候被赶下台。但这从未发生过，这完全要归功于新民主党在议会投票中不断支持他。如果辛格解散特鲁多政府，他确实可能会失去养老金。
在接受一位长寿 YouTuber 采访时，91 岁的前总理让·克雷蒂安建议年轻人结婚、穿得更好、努力工作，不要试图成为“你不是的人”。
克雷蒂安在接受加拿大采访者威廉·罗西采访时表示，如果没有已故妻子艾琳 (Aline) 来缓和他的少年犯罪行为，他永远不会成为总理。
“我小时候是个坏孩子，总是兴奋不已。我妈妈常说，‘家里会有一只害群之马，让就是那只害群之马’，”克雷蒂安说。
艾琳是克雷蒂安的第一个女朋友，他将这段关系归功于他的母亲玛丽。
“我母亲意识到 (艾琳) 对我有镇静作用，所以她为我做了一切事情来认识她。她已经决定她就是我的女人，她是对的，”他说。
艾琳于 2020 年去世，享年 84 岁。

克雷蒂安还说要“注意你的着装方式”。
“直到今天，我从来没有不打领带就来办公室，”他说，然后指着罗西的运动鞋说，“当我在公共场合穿你这样的鞋子时，我不舒服。”
罗西是 Sprouht Media 的创始人，这是一家“自我提升”咨询公司，其 YouTube 频道经常发布老年人的生活建议。
在之前的视频中，罗西采访了 93 岁的亿万富翁开发商拉里·西尔弗斯坦和 103 岁的医生格拉迪斯·麦加里等人。
91 岁的克雷蒂安是现存最年长的加拿大前总理，目前在总寿命方面排名第五； Charles Tupper、Mackenzie Bowell、Louis St. Laurent 和 John Turner 去世时年龄都更大
克雷蒂安透露，他来自一个以长寿而闻名的家庭。八个兄弟姐妹在婴儿期幸存下来，他们都活到了 80 多岁或 90 多岁，一个姐姐活到了 100 岁。
这段视频发布时，另一位自由党总理贾斯汀·特鲁多正进入领导生涯的最后阶段。

Jagmeet Singh got his pension
For the last five years Trudeau has headed a minority government, meaning he could have been ousted from power at any point since 2019. But that never happened, thanks entirely to the NDP constantly backing him up in parliamentary votes. And Singh could indeed have lost his pension if he dissolved the Trudeau government.
Speaking to Canadian interviewer William Rossy, Chrétien said he never would have become prime minister without his late wife Aline to temper his juvenile delinquency.
“When I was a kid I was a terrible kid, always excited all the time. My mother used to say, ‘There will be a black sheep in the family and Jean will be the black sheep,’” said Chrétien.
Aline was Chrétien’s first girlfriend, and he credited his mother, Marie, with engineering the relationship.
“My mother realized that (Aline) had the calming influence on me, so she did everything for me to meet her. And she had decided that she was the woman for me, and she was right,” he said.
Aline died in 2020 at age 84.

Chrétien also said to “watch the way you dress.”
“Still to this day I never come to the office without a tie,” he said, before indicating Rossy’s sneakers and saying, “I’m not comfortable having shoes like you when I go in public.”
Rossy is the founder of Sprouht Media, a “self improvement” consultancy whose YouTube channel often features life advice from seniors.
In prior videos, Rossy has interviewed 93-year-old billionaire developer Larry Silverstein and 103-year-old physician Gladys McGarey, among others.
At 91, Chrétien ranks as the oldest living former Canadian prime minister, and is currently in fifth place for total longevity; Charles Tupper, Mackenzie Bowell, Louis St. Laurent and John Turner were all older at their death
Chrétien revealed that he comes from a family known for its longevity. Of eight siblings who survived infancy, all of them lived into their 80s or 90s, with one sister making it to 100.
The video drops just as another Liberal prime minister, Justin Trudeau, is entering the final throes of his leadership.
A 91 Year Old Prime Minister Shares His Best Life Lessons

问
I asked 91 year old Prime Minister of Canada Jean Chrétien, who is one of Canada's most influential leaders to date. Prime Minister Chrétien's advice and wisdom is so profound - his life experiences have so many different tones, which are worth listening to over & over again. Please enjoy!
you're almost 91 what is the truth about
life that you wish more people
understood
Jean Chretien
I show more than one million
hands in my life sometimes you make
mistakes but experience tell you to be
guarded against that type of people
don't try to be somebody you're not
问
what did you do differently that led you to become the Prime
Minister
问者自述
a few weeks ago I had the honor
of interviewing the former prime
minister of Canada 90-year-old Jean CR
he never lost an election and was famous
for standing up to his allies making his
own big decisions and being liked by
everyone there is no mistaking that Mr
cran story is one of perseverance and
the lessons he shares with us today will
100% make you a better person so without
further Ado let's get into it
问
how old are you
Jean Chretien
I am 90 years old and in a month I will be 91
问
what does it feel like to be 90 years old and almost 91
Jean Chretien
you know you have to take one day at a time I
feel normal I get up in the morning come
to work and enjoy life and uh I don't
think about my age I just mentioned that
when I was to impress people they are a
bit surprised that I still come to earn
my living at my age
问
if you're looking back on life what are things You' have
done to get to this point and feel the
way you feel
Jean Chretien
in my family we tend to get quite whole uh my dad would died was
almost 993 and I have a sister went to
100 a brother 99 another brother 95 so
you know it's uh normal in my family to
be that age we were nine living kids and
the one who died the youngest he was 81
问
you're born in 1934 right um a lot of people know you
as the Prime Minister former prime
minister of Canada but what do we need
to know about how you grew up in order
to understand the person that you are
today
Jean Chretien
my father was a blue collar in a
paper mills and he was a machinist
coming from the Royal part of Quebec uh
became a lawyer and I was elected to
Parliament at 29 and I could not speak
real English when I arrive on the hill
took my job seriously I was lucky and I
was lucky when the Luck came I was on
the hill more than 40 years I was in a
cabinet for 30 years of which 10 as
prime minister and I was on top of it
the leader of the opposition was
问
it always a dream of yours when you were
younger to be the prime minister or did
that come eventually
Jean Chretien
no I you know I became interested in politics because of
my dad and he dreamed to have one of his
kid to be an a politician and as I was
an hyperactive kid in realized he
thought I had the energy needed to do
that so he started to train me very
young like you train your son to be oy
player you go to the oy ring at 5:00 at
the morning and I wanted to become an
architect and dad said you will never
get elected as an architect you go to
the law school and in those days his dad
said something we listen so I became a
lawyer at his request and a politician
as it was his desire a lot of people go
through the stages you went through uh
you know from being in the cabinet and
being Minister but they never become
Prime Minister let's talk about like
reaching the peak of a goal what did you
do differently than everyone else that
LED you to be worthy and become the
Prime Minister I don't know I did you
know you have to work working in our
family it's a pleasure and success is a
goal it's what happened to me and
happened to my brothers most of they all
done quite well do you think most people
do the opposite people get it the wrong
way for a lot of people working is a
burden for me I never had a problem to
get up to go to work I always found the
inter and what I was doing but I was
lucky I always had interesting jobs
apparently I was the longer serving
minister in Canada in fact I never lost
an election and three majority
government it was not achieved very
often in fact I'm the only one who
managed to have three majority
government and never Lo lost and I had
promised my wife to quit before I was 70
years old and I quit I was 69 11 months
in one day you kept your word yes of
course you you said working is a
pleasure for you and you said a lot of
people treat work as a burden why does
that tend to happen why do most people
treat work like a burden but probably a
lot of people don't have jobs that they
love you know for me it was exciting it
was always new always new challenge and
when you're in politics you have to
perform and if you don't perform they
talk about it in the newspaper on TV and
so on so it's very challenging a lot of
people go to their work at 9:00 and come
back home at 5:00 and there was nothing
very exciting happening so they are
happy to leave at 5:00 or 4:30 to be
home where they have fun with sports and
family and so on one of the difficulties
is uh family life and public life but I
had married my girlfriend the first
girlfriend I had and she was my
girlfriend 5 years before I married her
and I was only 23 when I married her she
was 21 and she died after six 53 years
of marriage and 68 years of relation she
was a great lady very well alike in
Canada very respected she spoke four
languages she had a great political
judgment very quiet telling me the truth
in a very nice way and uh you know and I
would not have become Prime Minister
without her a lot of people have a hard
time finding love or or being with the
right person what was it about your your
wife that you you knew she was the right
person when I was a kid I was a terrible
kid over excited all the time and my
mother used to say there would be a
black sheep in the family and Johan will
be the black sheep until I met this
girls were next door girl somewhere and
my wife my mother realized that she had
the calming inference on me so she did
everything you know for me to meet her
and she had decided that I was that she
was a woman for me and she was right so
we grew up together basically and she
was very patient you know
everybody would say that we were making
a very good couple and was a exceptional
lady and when she passed away it was a
big national news in Canada because she
was respected by everybody you were
together for longer but married for 63
years can you define the word love for
me respect you know you have to respect
each other you have to
define the role of everybody she was the
bus at home so if she wanted to have a
color in the wall that I didn't like I
would shut up and uh there's no way to
do that she was in charge of the house
and if the kids were not happy I was
always on her side as a matter of policy
mom was always right she had to raise
the kids virtually alone you know I was
always on the road so she was extremely
good on that if she had problem with the
kids she would not even talk to me about
about it to not disturb me 1993 is when
you become the Prime Minister and that's
30 years ago when you win you become the
person responsible for managing 30
million plus people at that time in the
country that's a lot of pressure and I
know a lot of people go through
pressures in life in different stages
maybe your family your career your
friends whatever how did you manage
pressure for me a problem is a problem
and when you have a problem you have to
find a solution and in life you have to
make hopefully always the right decision
so I was calm apparently when there was
a crisis I will never get excited on the
contrary I will become calm knowing I
had to face a challenge and I
was very decisive that was one quality
that people mention of me I could make
up my mind for me I've been involved all
my life with decision to be made every
day you know most the Prime Minister I
hate question period I love it for me to
go to question period I love it it was a
challenge you know I used to make the
joke you never know if you've done well
most of people turn to their staff to
say was it a right I didn't have to do
that you know what I would do when I
would get up I would just do that if it
was dry I had done well and if it was
wet it's because I had problems so if
I'm faced with a big decision in life um
whether that's my job my career care my
my family what would be your advice for
me to be able to handle that
appropriately stay calm stay calm don't
make a move on the spur of the moment
for me I never make decision in front of
a meeting of people cuz if you have 10
guys around the table some are very
eloquent that doesn't mean that they are
right so put distance between the
decision and the discussion to have an
hour or two of reflection to forget
about the presentation some are very
good at presenting things some are shy
not very articulate and they might be
the one who are right I was known not to
make a decision after a discussion if
you were someone in a situation like
this and you want to be able to do
things like this this and this I highly

your life this year what is one thing
that when you were younger you put a lot
of importance on and as you got older
you realized wasn't actually that
important oh spend a lot of time on
Sports for example sometime I tended to
do a little bit to much and that not not
on studying type of thing but it is life
you have your own personality you can be
natural be yourself all the time don't
try to be somebody you're not do you did
you ever put importance on what other
people thought of you might not oh I had
I had some people who didn't like me for
sure you have to be comfortable with
your this
yeah you know the people don't like you
there's nothing you can do they don't
like you but I was not provocative too
much I was doing public life like
playing hockey if I'm on the eyes don't
go in the corner you head down you go to
the board but after the game was over I
could have a beer with the PO opponent
guys and in fact in politics the
opposition the other side are your
adversary your enemies are the guys
behind you who want to replace you you
have to live with both so you tend to be
more comfortable sometimes with the
people across the aisle that are just
part of the game you know and they were
opposed to you they were not voting for
you that was a their job in their life
but they were nice guy anyway you've
come across so many different people
people who want something from you and
they might be authentic they might be
bsing you how do you judge whether
somebody is worth giving your time and
energy to what makes a good person in
that regard when you've been in public
life like me I sh more than one million
hands in my life if somebody is Ling you
you realize those who are authentic you
realize too and it is observing people
of all sort of personalities that you
navigate and sometimes you make mistakes
but experience tell you to be guarded
against that type or the other type of
people so people who are very flattering
usually just not too much you know come
on I know no don't don't insist it you
know yeah you know you know when it's
flattery and you know it's Pleasant once
in a while but not all the time so you
were known to make the queen laugh a lot
uh and the queen liked you a lot you've
been very good at getting people to like
you and I'm sure genuinely of course
what would be your secrets or advice for
someone who to present themselves in
society and be accepted don't try to be
somebody else try to be yourself
be natural you know you have to have
good manners you know watch the way
you're dress too I still to the day I
never come to the office without a tie
you know I'm not comfortable loving
shoes like you when I go in public and
uh you know and you know but but but no
I don't say you're wrong I say I'm
comfortable with that and I try don't
try to transform myself to be like the
gang and you think most people so tend
to take me as I am yeah you like it fine
if you don't like it there's nothing I
can do about it what's your thought
process to make a decision or not be
afraid of what others think when you're
comfortable with a decision you make it
when I became prime minister you know we
were in a real fiscal mess you know the
big financial newspaper one had written
that Canada was a candidate for the
third world status the World Bank was
looking at us to intervene and I said to
the cabinet I might be prime minister
only for one term but I will fix the
finance of the nation and I did but I
knew that I could fail and I might have
been a prime minister for one term but I
had already been in public life for 30
years so my ambition was to do the right
thing in your opinion what makes a great
leader what are the qualities that
someone has to be honest to be frank to
be knowledgeable to be artworking and to
do your best you know that
I did my best at the end of the day I
would come home I would say to myself
yeah I've done my best for you you're
almost 91 what is the truth about life
that you wish more people understood
your life is decided by life so you have
the destiny and your the assemble of
your qualities will determine or your
defect what kind of life you have so you
do your best all the time you have
something to do you try to do it if you
do something try to do it well have
pride and the quality of your work
sometimes you might not succeed sometime
it's terribly unfair I've seen guys who
have should have had a much better life
than they had they were unlucky and it's
sad but on the other hand you have to be
there when the luck passed don't be in
the bar you know when the blck pass be
on the job and you will have a chance to
do well if you could go back in time to
your 25-year-old self knowing everything
you know today day about life and you
could give him one piece of advice what
would you say to him work you know
nothing is completely easy and if you
have something in mind try it but don't
go and spend the rest of your life I
should have tried it but it's easy for me I was elected 12 times MP and never lost an election I went through majority government was 30 years in the cabinet three years the leader of the opposition so so I have a pretty good CV so I cannot complain thank you so much thank you appreciate it
