Jean Charest said a majority of the nearly 670,000 members in the party have yet to send in their ballots, suggesting they are still making up their minds

Rural Ontario MP Scott Aitchison and Roman Baber, a former Ontario legislator whom Doug Ford booted from caucus over opposing COVID-19 lockdowns, also said that if the Conservatives hope to defeat the Liberals, every candidate in the race must commit to coming together after the new leader is picked Sept. 10.

Poilievre, the perceived front-runner in the race, along with Leslyn Lewis, a rookie MP who placed third in the party’s 2020 leadership race, both chose not to participate. At one point, he said to deal with climate change he would look to increase the amount of trees planted annually in the country.Aitchison, who throughout the race has struck an optimistic tone, said he believes Canada can keep its commitment to reach net-zero emissions while cancelling the national carbon price, which is a favourite rallying cry among party faithful.

“A slogan is not a climate plan,” said Charest, who was federal environment minister under Progressive Conservative prime minister Brian Mulroney. He later led that party.

Charest is a liberal Plant.

Yaaawwwwnn

PierrePoilievre and LeslynLewis were smart not to show up. Like GovRonDeSantis not taking the View's bait, they are not feeding legacy media the soundbites and images they can twist. Type Pierre Poilievre on Youtube. You can see where he stands and watch him humiliate the PM.

Loser's debate. The frontrunners took a pass because they know everyone has already voted... and not for them

BREAKING: Charest gets slaughtered in the English debate portion. Does great in the French portion aa the only one fluent.

Anyone but Charest.

It looks like a church basement.

What an incredible waste of time: ScottAAitchison and Roman_Baber don’t have a chance in Hell (and they know it) JeanCharest_ is a Liberal Party goon for hire who’s been bought and paid for LeslynLewis Should win, but won’t (sadly) PierrePoilievre has already won
