Jean Charest looks set to run for leader of the federal Conservatives:
Former Quebec premier Jean Charest is keeping his powder dry but those who have spoken to him are under no illusions – he is in as a contender for the federal Conservative leadership, with his official announcement expected later this month.
Former political adversaries are already using their bully pulpits to take a pop at him. Former Parti Québécois cabinet minister Joseph Facal wrote a barbed attack Tuesday in Le Journal de Montréal that suggested Charest is addicted to the political jousting, the exercise of power, the limelight and the adrenaline but has little to offer beyond personal ambition.
The red Tories want the party back.
Tell them to get lost.
Charest, Ambrose, McKay, Bernier all has been’s.
Call a spade a spade, take no prisoners.
Fresh leadership, tip over the cart, rile up the base. Rile up the country, expose their lies, climate change, diversity, immigration, the UN Soros.
Send those incompetent puppets to permanent retirement.
300k to get into the game? Oh and you have 10 days to decide?
It looks like maybe the party brass has already picked who they favor.
No outsider has a chance.
