Fishy, I think they're afraid of Polievre!

[skdouglas]

WHAT? Nobody in Quebec will vote for him, or the west.

[jowserbh]

Im from Quebec and i would love to see Mr Poilievre become our next PM

[reijotyk]

No no no no no no no, this will ruin the chance the conservatives have to actually capitalize on Trudeaus incompetence

[petewerner]

If he is under investigation, , , , we sure as hell don't want him as the leader of the Conservatives.

[MultiChaga]

Charest is a big help for Trudeau to remain in power for anothe four years.

[flerryannabarca]

Pierre Poilievre is the Future. He is Strong and intelligent the opposite of Trudeau

[gerardvinet]

I'm from Quebec, I personally think, we need to give Quebec a break, and vote for a P.M., from another province !!!!

Save your money JC, theres no way Pierre doesnt get elected leader. he wants it an everyone is excited hes finally willing to go for it.

[Saskidan]

No way in hell. Pierre is the only rational choice.

[tiffaniterris]

This would be bad for the conservatives. There are a couple of great options, he isn’t one of them.

[teresagee]

Too old school and too much baggage we need someone like Pierre pollivevre going forward

[mathieukaulu]

Canadians be very careful with this Crazy moves. We need Pierre P.

[stevemarshall]

I'm from Ontario and I'll vote Pollievre .

[oldsingingstudentdougbillf]

If Charest wins that leadership here is one vote lost! They already picked a wrong leader in O’Toole when there is better choices available.

[DriQ-qotp]

I planned to vote for any-one-but-Trudeau but I have changed my mind now:

[Truth_Seeker_]

It's Pierre Polievre who has my vote. 🇨🇦👍 From Montreal

[needknow]

Personally I believe Pierre Pollivier would be an ideal Prime Minister.
Canada needs to believe WE have someone watching our backs NOT stabbing it like we currently do.

[BillyBobby]

Wow! Is JC still kicking? Anyhow, he's the last thing the Conservatives need. They're already feeble enough.

[Cosmofree]

The only way out of this mess is Mr Poilievre, smart and answers questions given to him without skirting around or walking out.
