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
Didn’t the those taxes balance the budget ?
I also vaguely read something about Quebec and student protests and he used draconian measures.
@Sean Faherty how? Quebec is the most in debt.
These are fun. I hope they have more of them. I want to see how long before Jean Cha-Rage has a complete meltdown.
Charest got wrecked 😂🤣🦾 how much!? 🥳
He wrecked PP. Did you miss it?
What’s going to happen when Pierre will need to actually answer that question?
They must be scared of Pierre cause they got Charest out of retirement.
He will be retired as soon as he loses again.
@Shawn – Trudeau can be aggressive but Pierre cannot? Nice try spinless lefty.
@Shawn Of course he’s angry. Shouldn’t all Canadians be angry to some extent due to the fact that their rights and freedoms are being taken away. Think of all the things in the world that wouldn’t have changed had someone, or some group, not declared “we’ve had enough!”
@Shawn Liberals need to stop having opinions about Conservative politics.
@norm simpson Apperantly, you aren’t a Canadian.
@Defiance Yeah, we need to keep the conservative echo chamber air-tight. No room for logic or reason, only anger.
“Repeating buzzwords of trucker protest” Lol way to try and slander him right off the bat.
@millennial TANTRUM For another Trudeau term? No, all of them are about equal there.
Right?
How is that a slander?
The biggest takeaway is Charest was put in a body bag.
seriously, they all want to attack pierre cause hes their biggest threat
That’s called a debate.
Lol Poilievre can handle it. It’s no contest, Poilievre’s got this!
@Josh Dun yes, but i was just mentioning that most of these members sole focus was on discrediting pierre.
@Josh Dun Talking over someone is not debate.
Giving clear positions on issues would have been desirable to venting with personal attacks.
Pierre to Charest HOW MUCH an on going theme with Liberals HOW MUCH!.
And typical of a Liberal would not answer the question.Such a disrespect towards Canadian citizens who are concerned for Canada’s future and upcoming elections.
Why does Charest even get so much spotlight. He is only popular among liberals…
you just answered your own question.
LMAO @ Jean Charest. Ever get the feeling you’re at the wrong party? I bet he does.
😂
Unofficial? This debate was run far better than most
easy to see who’s paid for. especially when Pierre points it out to you.
Charest “punches back” more like “lifted his arm”
Charest got pounded harder than Reilly Reid
Guys like Jean Charest drive me crazy. He is so old school and out of touch. He has no chance of winning but these guys take every opportunity to get out in the public eye again.
It wasn’t even close-Charest was shown for what he is-a washout.Pierre won this debate hands down.
lol
Pollievre said he supports peoples right to choose their medical intervention so I’m assuming he must be pro choice, unless he’s a hypocrite.
Deflects and never answers questions. Yep, Charest is a liberal
This seems less like honest reporting and more like a hit piece, to be honest.
So the normal from them?
We can expect nothing less from them these days. They don’t want to upset the hand that feeds them. We all know Pierre is our next PM!
Hands down Pierre mangled Charest who refused to answer questions. It was like watching Trudeau speak. Pierre has our vote!
I don’t vote “one way” – for me I don’t care what party you run for, I care about your values. Last election I didn’t vote at all, why? Nobody was worth it. But if Pierre wins this and gets to run, I will 100% vote for him. Quite frankly I love a person who tells it like it is.
