As an eligible, and as but undecided, voter for the Conservative management, I learn with curiosity Jean Charest’s “Open letter to my fellow Conservative Get together of Canada members” (Aug. 22). Charest typically talks about “our Conservative motion,” however I haven’t heard him state whether or not he’ll run for an MP’s seat ought to he lose the management. I believe that he’ll, as soon as once more, disappear in that case. He states that Poilievre has “tapped into the ache factors of non-voters and given them a platform.” Properly, isn’t that precisely what politicians needs to be aiming to do, particularly when solely 30% or 40% of voters present up on the polls? He goes on to state that he “is not going to dismiss them,” nevertheless it certainly reads as if he’ll do precisely that. Personally, I believe Charest can beat Trudeau, however ponder whether we might find yourself with the identical outdated, usual Liberal propaganda/viewpoints. So, Jean, are you going to run for a seat or not, win or lose the management? Sure or no? Nonetheless undecided.

COST OF AN OPINION
With respect to the total web page by Jean Charest on Aug. 22, I’ve been attempting to find out who made cash on it. Did the Toronto Solar pay for him to place on this business — or did he pay the Toronto Solar to run it? He makes some nice factors — for him — however nowhere in your traditional info put on the finish of this “piece” to advise the readers of the author’s historical past do I see any point out of the truth that the one political management position Charest really received by votes of the folks was when, as a Liberal Get together member, he was elected Liberal premier of Quebec. For a brand new voter in politics, they won’t know of this. The Solar acknowledged within the Aug. 20 Letters to the Editor that Warren Kinsella “is an unabashed Liberal, he doesn’t disguise that. However he’s additionally been one of many harshest critics of the present Trudeau Liberal authorities.” On studying Charest’s column, he, too, could be seen as a harsh critic of the present Trudeau Liberal authorities, however do we wish simply one other Liberal devotee as a Conservative Get together chief?

CHAREST IS A LIBERAL
The open letter from Charest, irrespective of the way you spin it, it doesn’t matter what nonsense you spout about Pierre Poilievre shaking fingers, the underside line is we are not looking for one other Liberal from Quebec as a PM and that, sir, is what you might be.

NAME CALLING
Re the entrance web page of the Aug. 23 Toronto Solar about Laith Marouf and his remark referring to “Jewish White Supremacists” as being “baggage of human feces.” Appears to me that will be an ideal instance of ‘pot/kettle/black’?
