Former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien delivered a powerful message during the 25th anniversary commemoration of the September 11 attacks, emphasizing the strength behind Canada's generosity. Speaking in a town that served as a refuge for stranded Americans following the tragic day, Chretien reminded his audience of the resilience and pride of Canadians.
At 92 years old, Chretien, who led Canada during the 2001 attacks, addressed a crowd that included US Ambassador to Canada, Pete Mulroney. He expressed gratitude for the shared history and friendship between the two nations while cautioning against any misinterpretation of Canada's kindness.
“We bow to no one,” Chretien declared, earning a standing ovation from the audience. His remarks served as a reminder of Canada's steadfastness and the importance of recognizing strength in unity and compassion.
