MacDougall: Charest and company have five months to slow the Poilievre juggernaut. Good luck

In case you hadn’t noticed, Poilievre has been pulling enormous crowds as he tours the country in support of his bid. There were hundreds in Ottawa, the GTA and Winnipeg, more than 1,000 in Windsor, and the same again in Lindsay . On a Sunday. To a Conservative membership fed up with losing, Poilievre is something akin to a religion.

While Charest is a formidable politician, he needs to convince Conservatives he’s not yesterday’s man, campaigning with yesterday’s methods. Early indications are the country has moved on. To describe Charest’s launch video as low energy would be to gift Joe Biden the verve of a trapeze artist.

Indeed, the only place Charest currently outperforms Poilievre is with the Canadian general population, where he holds a six-point advantage over the former Harper cabinet minister. The problem for Charest is that, to get there, he first has to climb the mountain of the current Conservative membership. And here, the run of show gives Charest the tougher task to accomplish and in a shorter time frame.

Charest has been all over the political map and has no loyalty to any political party as evidenced by his political resume. I think Canadians have had enough of Trudeau who also has shown no loyalty towards Canadians as a whole. PierrePoilievreForPM
