Being someone who carries no social Conservative baggage, has a climate change record and delivered effective deficit reduction in Quebec, Charest is the candidate Liberals desperately hope will lose.
And unless there’s a kinder, gentler version of Pierre Poilievre than the one I’ve observed for eight years, the Liberals are salivating for him to win.
As one insider told me, Poilievre as Conservative leader would be an arrogant and mean version of Jason Kenney, minus a government.
So with Charest’s entry in two days, the stakes are becoming extremely high for the government-in-waiting party. Deep divides are being drawn between yesterday’s moderate man and an untested MP’s hard-right Tory turn.
With the leadership vote still six months away, it sets up the risk of a lose-lose Conservative scenario – and another Liberal win.
