“Former Quebec premier Jean Charest considering run for Conservative leadership”

 

This is encouraging. Very encouraging.

An active intelligence, a good personality, not at all identified as an ideologue, and some appeal in Quebec.

As well, he is a man who has demonstrated, at his own political risk, dedication to the idea of Canada.

Jean Charest has many appealing qualities and possess a storehouse of hard political experience.

He might well represent the best chance the Conservatives have for getting rid of Trudeau’s government, a government which for me, with its many failings and embarrassments – and I am not a Conservative – simply leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
