Creeping out from under a rock this guy.
Thats softly put . But he should of stay there. Deep down in the darkness of that rock shadow and never come back .
He looks like a corpse that crawled out of a crypt.
You are a “hyphenated conservative”. That will NEVER change now! Don’t waste your money or anyones else’s!!
Hey Charest I’ve got an idea, since you keep flip flopping in political parties why don’t you join the NDP? They’ll be looking for a new leader soon enough!! Maybe, just maybe Bob Rae will join you??
The green’s need another clown as well.
Just what we need for prime minister a confirmed corrupt politician.
thats conservatives in a nutshell
@Gunk Wretch Spoken like a true easterner. What are the liberals, then? Oh yeah, the most corrupt party to ever dictate over Canada.
@Arthur Lealke You repeated what Gunk said. You get a smiley sticker for your big brain answer!
Kwebec = corrupt politician.
@Gunk Wretch Now JT has a strong moral compass! lol
Maybe Justin will resign and you could run for the liberals too. So disappointed that you would even concider running.
justin is a narcissist. he won’t quit sadly.
So trading a penny for a penny…
One of the most divisive PM in QC’s history as a solution to Canada’s division, MAKES SENSE….duhhuhuuhhhh
Finally someone who sees clear !
Liberal , turncoat, send him away having him as a leader will result in another liberal government.
No thanks – the last thing that the Conservatives need right now is an old, tired, recycled Liberal…
Last thing we need is a dumb conservative in
An old tired recycled liberal who switches parties when he feels it will further his career.
Right, so your last run in government was the liberal party of Quebec when you were premiere and now your a conservative? Sounds a little flippy floppy.
Quebec political parties are mostly conservative leaning. Charest was also in the conservative party prior to being PM of Quebec.
@EB A either way, he’s went conservative to liberal and now back. Can’t be a “conservative liberal” just because your in Quebec.
Charest would divide the party even more.
I don’t think anyone could prevent a divide in the party. because half the party wants a hard right wing leader (like PP or leslyn lewis) and the other half wants to actually win. The modern conservative party is a mutant monster held together by the fact that Harper could win. Once you remove the ability to win (because harper made the conservative brand completely toxic to most of the country), that mutant monster tears itself apart since much of the party doesn’t really agree on most things.
@That Guy Yeah, it really tells you about the madness of the CPC base that both Sheer and O’Toole could only win seats in the West, yet they are still looking forward to Poilievre who will do just that! I guess they really like the opposition benches.
Yeah lets vote in a liberal to lead the conservative party
I vote for this guy to float out to sea and not come back.
Messed up in quebec. One day he is liberal the next a conservative. He should maybe try for Singh job.
You don’t seem to understand Quebec politics…
@EB A ? Lol
He is running as a conservative so he can help his liberals out
But he could win. Your other extreme right conservatives will not, ever!
we know the kkkonservative just trump under a different flag
@Lincoln Lawyer extreme right, whatever kid.
there no extreme right conservatives running for PM
@Pierre Williston 🤦🏿♂️
@Pierre Williston 🤦🏿♂️
His career as Quebec Premier ended with one of the biggest crisis the province had seen in decades. He didn’t care about students and they voted him out. Canada need better than that, someone focus on fixing issues, not creating them.
I see his lips moving, but he’s not saying anything
claims he wants to adress issues. but then never actually addresses an issue. typical politician double speak. get rid of this type of garbage politics.
If only the rest of Canada knew what his failed political past is….. they would laugh all Day long… unite…. yeah thats what he did while being leader in Québec (not)
It’s scary to see a Jean Charest, completely disconnected from reality.
Just a Canadian version of Biden.Old and senile.
To me he as always been this way so its nothing new in my point of view
Hard Pass. It’s Pierre Poilievre or nothing.
I’m not a conservative but I’m running as a conservative said every conservative leader…prove me wrong.
Lol Pierre Poilievre
