For the past few weeks, I've been wondering who is the right person to meet and succeed in the three challenges facing Quebec: to lead the fight and stand up to Trump, to act as an experienced defender of Quebec on the national and international stage and, finally, to act as the person who can rebuild the QLP and put the party on the road to recovery and renaissance as an alternative that Quebecers can take seriously to defend their economic, cultural, linguistic and other interests?
After careful consideration, I have come to a conclusion: only Jean Charest can protect Quebec's interests in the face of the threat posed by Trump. What's more, Charest is also the only one who can defend and promote Quebec's interests as opposed to federal government intervention. Finally, only Charest can raise the QLP from the ashes and give hope of a possible return to government. No one other than Charest can turn the tide within the party and provide confidence to those who want Quebec to remain within the Canadian federation.
You're going to tell me that Charest's time is up, that he's a man of the past, but I'm telling you that Charest is also the person of the future who can lead Quebec towards prosperity and an economy that will be the envy of the other Canadian provinces. Charest has already done that. Can we really deny the fact that Quebec was the strongest and most economically stable province when Charest was at the head of our government?
Charest has now retired from political life, but that doesn't change the fact that no one else is in a position to tackle the three major challenges facing Quebec. There is only one person in Quebec who is in a position to overcome the winds and tides facing Quebec and his name is Charest. I can dream of his return. The question is whether Quebec society is also ready to return to a more prosperous and economically stronger Quebec than it is today. In my opinion, only Charest can accomplish that mission.
