Chretien and Martin



This cartoon describes the Chretien V.S. Martin situation pretty well. When Chretien fired his finance minister Paul Martin, it wasn't too bright of him. Martin ran for leader of liberal party and quickly shot ahead of Chretien in the public's opinion.

The cartoon interested me because it gets the message across without any words, and I like cartoons that can do that well. Also, I always thought there was more competion in American politics, so it interests me when I see it in Canadian politics.

This cartoon impacts me because, well, could you imagine what would have happened if Chretien had remained as Prime Minister? I'm sure Canada would be much different than it is today.
