LETTER: Charest the best choice to lead Liberal Party

Jean Charest would be able to lead the majority of Canadians who are not particularly enthused about Pierre Poilievre

Who would replace Justin Trudeau? Jean Charest has the credentials to lead the Liberal Party, with a lean towards more fiscal responsibility. He is fluent in both official languages and carried the left-centre of Conservative populism in that leadership contest. I supported his bid during his campaign, which offered the direction I would like to see our country follow.

Jean Charest would be able to lead the majority of Canadians who are not particularly enthused about Pierre Poilievre with his far-right inclinations.
