Harper broke his silence but what does it mean, how will it affect the race and how did this all come about?
Despite Harper saying that he offered up his endorsement because people were wondering, I don’t believe that. It’s pretty well known that Harper was quietly backing Poilievre and not just over his dislike of Jean Charest.
“He’s antsy about where the country is going under Trudeau,” said one confidant on why Harper spoke out. Poilievre has signed up more members than any other candidate past or present, many of them younger Canadians who wouldn’t really remember Harper’s time in office and many who were never interested in politics before Pierre came along. He speaks to these voters in ways and using channels that Harper never could.Article content
