Mr. Chretien no longer leads the Liberal Party of Canada anymore.
The Prime Minister is supposed to be the person who leads the majority party in the Parliament. That person is now Paul Martin. But Chretien refuses to resign as Prime Minister, and is being all coy about, only giving vague clues that he will formally step down sometime “soon.” That could be anytime from tomorrow to February.
Are you familiar with the gold watch tradition? When a politician retires they are customarily given a gold pocket watch as a parting gift.. It might be a Canadian thing, I’m not sure.
