Charest condemns leadership rival Poilievre’s convoy, crypto, climate policies
Doubling down on his condemnation of his Conservative leadership rival, Jean Charest says that Pierre Poilievre should be disqualified from becoming leader of the federal Conservative party over his support of the “Freedom Convoy.”
“Everyone knows that Pierre Poilievre supported the blockade,” Charest said in an interview on CTV’s Question Period. “If you say to Canadians: ‘I want to be the leader of the Conservative Party and I want to be the chief legislator of the country, but I don’t have to obey the laws,’ I’m sorry. That’s not just a failure in leadership. It disqualifies you, as far as I’m concerned, as being someone who thinks or aspires to be a leader of a party.”
