We’ve always known that. Jean Charest dreams of becoming Prime Minister of Canada. He missed his chance once, and now the dream seems within reach. Really ?
Mr. Charest forgets that this Conservative Party is a Reform Party 2.0 which no longer has anything to do with the defunct Progressive Conservative Party. The more time passes, the more this party resembles the Republican Party on the other side of the border. It is moving to the right of the right as we have seen with the support of certain conservatives for the Freedom Convoy. […]
Charest is not far enough to the right to lead this party. He is a Tory in the old Tory tradition, not a religious and reactionary extremist like the Western partisan base of the new Conservative Party…unless he decides to open the door to less control of the firearms, the restriction of the right to abortion or even the restoration of the death penalty in order to attract supporters.
Moreover, the last leader was rightly disavowed because he refocused the party too much. Wouldn’t a Charest chef come to the same thing? And shouldn’t his past as Premier of Quebec, with Quebec’s participation in the Carbon Exchange and his former Liberal label, also harm him in front of Albertans and the Conservative West? This whole story seems very improbable to me…
