Two Harper-era cabinet ministers find it puzzling he did not ‘address Pierre’s batty – in some cases irresponsible – proposals to address today’s economic challenges’
Two Stephen Harper-era cabinet ministers say his endorsement of Pierre Poilievre for the leadership of the Conservative party failed to address the candidate’s “batty” economic policies.
But they said “the most puzzling piece” of Mr. Harper’s endorsement was that he “did not address Pierre’s batty – in some cases irresponsible – proposals to address today’s economic challenges.” There are five candidates in the race, which ends with the announcement of a winner on Sept. 10. In addition to Mr. Charest and Mr. Poilievre, they are Ontario MPs Scott Aitchison and Leslyn Lewis as well as Roman Baber, a former Progressive Conservative member of the Ontario legislature.
She said Conservative party members want answers to six questions on topics including abortion; an inquiry into the pandemic response; severe adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccines; and the World Economic Forum “and their plans for programs that encroach on the privacy of Canadians.” “I cannot in good conscience fritter away an opportunity to meet thousands of Canadians who are desperate for answers so that I could attend an impromptu meeting with leadership candidates to discuss questions to which the answers have already been memorialized in previous debate videos that exist online,” Ms. Lewis writes in her letter.
