Shawinigan [Handshake] is the epithet given to a chokehold executed on [February 15], 1996 by Jean Chrétien, then Prime Minister of Canada, on anti-poverty protester Bill Clennett. The phrase comes from Chrétien's birthplace of Shawinigan, Quebec, as the former prime minister often styled himself the "[little guy] from Shawinigan".
