TORONTO – He left active politics almost a decade ago, but in the coming weeks he could become the most credible alternative to Pierre Poilievre. The name of Jean Charest cyclically returns to be brought up every time the Canadian right has to give itself a guide. It had already happened in 2017, after the step back of Stephen Harper and the investiture of the former president of the House of Commons Andrew Scheer, it was repeated in 2020 in that leadership that ended with the victory of Erin O’Toole. History is bound to repeat itself even now, after the Conservative Party’s parliamentary group gave O’Toole the green light by laying the groundwork for the new right-wing leadership race.
Canadian National Multilingual Newsgroup
Welcome to the Canadian National Multilingual News Group (CNMNG). This is a project made possible through funding by Canadian Heritage. CNMNG aims to gather news researched and written by a corps of Canadian-based journalists/writers from the country’s multilingual community groups. The overall goal is to inform, analyze and critique the issues of the day in a professional manner and to provide that to publishers and editors active in the ethnocultural-multilingual press and media whose experience provides them with a perspective that is sensitive to news relevant to their own language group.
