Why does Charest even get so much spotlight. He is only popular among liberals...

[cahg]

It wasn’t even close-Charest was shown for what he is-a washout.Pierre won this debate hands down.

[jerryf]

Don't like Chariest. We had in him Quebec leader and yes taxes did go up and horrible. i do not want this guy again

[jblackjack]

They must be scared of Pierre cause they got Charest out of retirement.
He will be retired as soon as he loses again.

[mmarz]

"Repeating buzzwords of trucker protest" Lol way to try and slander him right off the bat.

[stephuchiha]

Jean Charest is the worst premier Quebec ever had with Legault

[koldenfoster]

Charest "punches back" more like "lifted his arm"

[hughjass]

These are fun. I hope they have more of them. I want to see how long before Jean Cha-Rage has a complete meltdown.

[RC-hduq]

easy to see who's paid for. especially when Pierre points it out to you.

[johnr]

This seems less like honest reporting and more like a hit piece, to be honest.

[thinkfaster]

Why is Charest sooo angry? Acts like ALL Liberals..
Pierre WILL win this.

[peterchobausch]

and crooked. "how much?" never answered. that is telling. answer the question!!!!

[clayosiris]

This is just a hit piece on Pierre. They are scared of him lol!

[s.avelar.]

Don't worry about the u.s.a...its not our business. Blessings 🙏. 🇨🇦.

Pierre Poilievre is going to be the next PM of Canada !

[judahtyreman]

Hands down Pierre mangled Charest who refused to answer questions. It was like watching Trudeau speak. Pierre has our vote!

[barbaragrant]

Well, here's my take on the so called debate: Charest is a washed up 69 year turncoat liberal. The lady just does not have the experience or exposure to Canadian voters, the other two, never heard of them nor has Canadians, hard to vote for the three to run our National Conservative Party and win an election. The only person who is not only very experienced, he has served in federal cabinet posts, is a fantastic speaker with a volume of knowledge, is never rude, treats others with respect, always speaks the truth is " Pierre Pollieve".

[Rizu-kcze]

I'm from India and I think this Pierre guy makes much more sense than Trudeau.

[SK-hmdy]

Pierre and Lewis team would be exactly what Canada needs

[wheelzwheela]

Pierre needs to win this whole thing and take the Trudeau regime down.
