Conservative Leadership Series: Jean Charest

Former PC Party of Canada leader and Quebec Liberal premier Jean Charest is pitching what he sees as his national electability as he seeks the Conservative Party of Canada's leadership. In this wide-ranging sit-down with True North's Andrew Lawton, Charest addresses whether electability means compromising conservative values, what he wants to do about equalization and western alienation, whether his views on the Freedom Convoy are compatible with the Conservative base, energy policy, and more.

Conservative Party of Canada members are set to elect their party's next leader in September. True North's Andrew Lawton is sitting down with all of the candidates to talk about their visions for the party and the country.

Barf. Triple barf and quadruple barf. He's a liberal.

[BobJones-kjpj]

Mr Charest misses the mark. Pierre has my vote without a doubt

[snowmexican]

If he cheats his way to leader I definitely won’t vote for that snake.

[CanadianJustFedUp]

It doesn’t matter how many time I hear this man speak positive of his ideas and do not trust Jean Charest!

[rgt]

Hearing Jean Charest’s policies makes me remember a great piece of advice my father gave me. “Never vote Liberal!”

PIERRE POILIEVRE FOR PRIME MINISTER AND NOBODY ELSE

[bradpederson]

If Charest, Brown or Aitchison win I am leaving this country.

Good interview Andrew, however, Pierre is clearly the only front runner and leader of the Conservative party for me.

[mr.c.]

I hope conservatives learned their lesson with O'Toole.

[Johnny-onwo]

This guy would lock you down and mandate us into oblivion. Its obvious.

[snotslop]

Its not Halloween who dug up Charest decomposed corpse hurry hurry bury it again

[amirtak]

His biggest mistake was calling the freedom convoy an illegal occupation

[Duncangonefishin]

Jean Charest is a Liberal, any Conservative MP foolish enough to endorse him has ended the political career.

[MrTwister]

Watched the entire interview. Nope....Pierre still gets my vote!

[glacialmobbs]

I can visualize this guy being appointed to the senate by Trudeau.

[martinnicholson]

he isn't for Canada, if he ever won he would probably hire trudy. Pierre is the only real Canadian for Canadians. My vote is for Pierre.

[todda]

No shot Sir. He's a liberal Lite as there is. He will fold Like a cheap suit. It's Pierre's time

[slgam]

Excellent, and illuminating interview. Thank you.

[gillesguimond]

Would love to see this interview with Charest hooked to a lie detector…. ;)

[butch]

He points out things he did in Quebec. Liberal!! Wasn't he listening when they said the convoy didn't interfere with trade??
