| ARTICLES RELATED TO Chuck Guité | | | |  Chuck Guité: Encyclopedia II - John Manley politician - Cabinet CareerWhen the Liberals came to power under Jean Chrétien following the 1993 election he became Minister of Industry. During his time in Industry, Manley was a staunch supporter of Canada-based research and development, and also of increased technology use in public schools. In particular, he felt that the so-called "wired classroom" would help to equalize the gap between urban and smaller, rural schools.

| | | | Chuck Guité: Encyclopedia II - Jean Chrétien - Prime minister In the October 1993 election, Jean Chrétien became Prime Minister of Canada by leading his party to a majority victory, ousting Prime Minister Kim Campbell and the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada.

During Chrétien's term as prime minister, no party emerged as a viable challenger to the supremacy of his Liberal party, in part due to vote-splitting between the Prog ...

| | | | Chuck Guité: Encyclopedia II - Sponsorship scandal - Political consequences The Liberal Party of Canada, for the most part, has weathered the damage from the scandal by pointing out the conclusions of reports of the Auditor General and the Gomery Commission: misdeeds were committed by a small, isolated, and corrupt subculture within the previous Liberal government and in particular the PMO of former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien. Similarly, supporters of Prime Minister Paul Martin have argued that the "culture of corruption" was a byproduct of Chrétien's leadership and that any malicious elements have been purged, both from the ...

| | | | Chuck Guité: Encyclopedia II - John Manley politician - Post-political career Martin decided to offer Manley a role as Ambassador to the United States, a prestigious posting Manley said he would seriously consider. Several days after Prime Minister Martin was sworn in, Manley declined the ambassadorial appointment, mostly because it would take him out of the country and "out of the loop" for fundraising and other political activities with a long-term view towards his own eventual bid for the Liberal leadership someday. Shortly thereafter, Dalton McGuinty, Premier of Ontario and close friend of Manley, appointed him to chair a royal commission on the energy system of Ont ...

| | | | Chuck Guité: Encyclopedia II - John Manley politician - Political ideology Manley is regarded by some as being from the centre-right of the Liberal party, favouring fiscal conservatism, although his budget included substantial spending.
Manley seems committed to many of the policies implemented under Chrétien, particularly to expanding foreign aid and improving Canada's "knowledge economy".
Manley is known as a republican and an advocate of the abolition of the Canadian monarchy. This point of view created quite a controversy when, in response to a reporter's question, he publicly stated that the mon ...

| | | | Chuck Guité: Encyclopedia II - John Manley politician - 2003 Liberal Leadership Race When Jean Chrétien announced his decision to retire (largely as a result of attempts to oust him by former finance minister Paul Martin), Manley announced his intention to run for the Liberal leadership. His primary competition was Martin, although heritage minister Sheila Copps also ran, and Brian Tobin and Allan Rock briefly contemplated running. From the beginning, it was apparent that Martin had a significant head start on his rivals (he had been the heir apparent since his failed 1990 leadership bid, and Martin's record as Minister of ...

| | | | Chuck Guité: Encyclopedia II - Jean Chrétien - The Early Stages of His Life Born in Shawinigan, Quebec as the 18th of 19 children, Jean Chrétien (pronounced [ʒɑ̃ kɾeˈtsjɛ̃]) studied law at Université Laval. Chrétien would later make light of his humble origins, calling himself the "little guy from Shawinigan". In his youth, he suffered an attack of Bell's palsy, leaving the left side of his face permanently paralyzed. Political opponents, like former Prime Minister Kim Campbell, used this affliction as a basis for political attacks, accusing Chrétien o ...

| | | | Chuck Guité: Encyclopedia II - Jean Chrétien - Retirement In August 2002, on the verge of being ousted as party leader by the supporters of ex-Finance Minister Paul Martin, Chrétien announced that he would not run for an additional term and would resign in February 2004.

He made an emotional farewell to the party on November 13 at the Liberal Convention. The following day his rival Martin was elected ...

| | | | Chuck Guité: Encyclopedia II - Jean Chrétien - Legacy In general, Chrétien supported Pierre Trudeau's ideals of official bilingualism and multiculturalism, but his government oversaw the erosion of the welfare state established and built under William Lyon Mackenzie King, Louis St. Laurent, Lester Pearson and Trudeau. His government advocated neo-liberal (or right of centre) polices on a number of economic fronts, cutting transfer payments to the provinces and social programs, supporting globalization and free trade and implementing large personal and corporate tax cuts. In the late 1990s, he and then-Finance Minister Paul Martin balanced the Canad ...
