No one makes Pierre look better than Charest.

[joerobertson]

Charest’s policies are all liberal policies😂

[lousammar]

The 311000 members that joined Pierre poillievre had to pay at least $15 and also declare that they are Canadian citizens.

Charest is so slimy! He will never win. His constant attacks on Poilievre show clearly that he knows who will win.

[daddylucles]

Pierre will win this. He has the vote of me and my community

[MB-jtmo]

Pierre is doing something right. I've never had a membership of any party and never voted Con...now I bought one for PC and will vote Pierre.

Can't really understand why Charest gets any credibility at all he was a tax wheeling LIBERAL in Quebec, sounds like a whiner to me.

[Duncangonefishin]

Charest has an amazing history, he's proven he can't be trusted !
Trust no MP's that are endorsing him either. I signed up to vote for Poilievre.

I bought a membership to keep charest out

Charest accuses his political opponent of dishonesty. News channel decided to interview Charest instead of Pierre. Tells you all you need to know.

Pierre for PM.

[m.d.]

Pierre Polievre the only choice for Canadian to have Canada free and strong again! If Pierre will not become a leader I will never support conservative or any other party again! Pierre for PM !

This is the attitude we would get if he Jean won and why we will loose, he answers questions just like his buddy Trudeau.

This dinosaur Charest needs to be extinct like the rest of the dinosaurs. Why is this guy still around. Must be paid by Trudolf.

[charlesdarwin]

Pierre Poilievre wants the CPC to release the numbers.

[freeholdequine]

He knows that if PP did get members he is done

[oecypher]

*don't matter I AM VOTING FOR Poilievre.*

[alishahorwood]

Pierre visited my area twice this spring and no else even bothered. Actually I was hoping Pierre would run for leader back when Scheer was elected.

[ludmilamanweiler]

Pierre our new PM 💙 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[joelgardner]

His numbers may be correct . I got my membership and my mother who still lives in Ontario who always voted Liberal has gotten her Conservative membership.

He won by 68 percent.. I don’t think the numbers were inflated.
