Former Quebec premier Jean Charest is reportedly considering a leadership run for the Conservative party. If Charest is serious about putting his name forward, conservatives should welcome the idea. First, Charest has been a major Canadian politician for decades, with significant Parliamentary experience, whom the party would not have to introduce to voters. These are, I think, some compelling reasons Charest should enter the race and attract attention from conservatives. Even if Charest didn’t win the leadership, his participation in the process would be valuable and far from his distraction.
