Former Conservative PM Stephen Harper endorses Pierre Poilievre for party leader
Former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper has endorsed Pierre Poilievre to be the party’s next leader.
“In the past several years he’s been our party’s most vocal and effective critic of the Trudeau Liberals,” said Harper, who pointed to Poilievre’s championing of economic issues like inflation and debt.Harper’s endorsement comes with less than two months left in the race, and as party members are in the process of filling out their mail-in ballots.
Poilievre has been criticized by ex-Quebec premier Jean Charest, who is also a candidate in the leadership race, and others for having ideas and a tone that would make the Conservatives unable to win the next general election after three consecutive losses.The former prime minister says Poilievre not only has the strongest support within the party’s caucus of any candidate in the race, but is popular with existing members and is bringing in droves of new ones.
