Liberal-NDP alliance could have a profound impact on Conservative leadership race

Opinion | BY MARK WEGIERSKI | May 19, 2022
Pierre Poilievre, Jean Charest, Patrick Brown, Leslyn Lewis, Scott Aitchison, and Roman Baber.

However, Charest’s supporters would argue that he would gain far more of centrist Liberal voters, than he would lose of hardcore conservatives. This would especially be the case in Ontario and Quebec, where Canadian elections are usually decided, writes Mark Wegierski. The Hill Times photographs by Andrew Meade
