JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: A PROMISING DEVELOPMENT IN CANADA'S POLITICS - THE TALENTED AND EXPERIENCED JEAN CHAREST MAY JOIN THE RACE FOR A NEW CONSERVATIVE PARTY LEADER

John Chuckman


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN CBC NEWS


“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.
