East York Conservative Justin Van Dette has issued a release applauding the prospect however unconfirmed that former Quebec Premier Jean Charest, 61, might run for head of the CPC to replace Andrew Scheer. Charest has a long history of public acceptance and at an early age was the leader of the federal Progressive Conservative Party. “Like so many other Canadians across the country, I too was very encouraged to hear several media reports note that former Quebec Premier Jean Charest was seriously considering a run for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada.
“No Conservative Party in Quebec”
“To hear some Conservatives describe him as a Liberal is shocking considering that history notes that in the Province of Quebec there is no Conservative Party. For many decades, Quebecers chose between a federalist and a separatist,” said Mr. Van Dette. Montreal Gazette
