| | The Globe and Mail: Series |
| | Prime Minister Jean Chrétien has a reputation as a cautious politician, and so his decision to call an early election with all of these cards in his hand comes as small surprise - although some say he is taking a chance. | | | Chrétien, who studied law at Laval University, went on to become minister of national revenue under Lester Pearson, and under political mentor Pierre Trudeau, he served as minister of justice, finance, industry, trade and commerce, energy and mines, the Treasury Board and Indian affairs. | | | Chrétien's careful, pragmatic approach at the top of the slippery pole isn't surprising - his journey to the Prime Minister's Office has been a long, hard and unlikely fight. |
