For some reason they call him "Chr?tien" in this article. Not a typing error I don't think because his name is there several times like that. Maybe you could do that once by accident but not that many times.

Quote:

In the Christmas interview, Chr?tien, who turns 69 today, went out of his way to say that he has never tried marijuana and that he does not even know what it smells like.

Can you believe that? Is that why they spell his name with a question mark?

Yeah maybe that's what it is. Usually when I see his name written, it's without special characters but still that's dumb that they didn't proof read it and see that.

He doesn't know what it smells like? That's pretty rare I think, even though he's 69. It's kind of like Clinton's thing about smoking and not inhaling I think :kam:
