Last I heard "Lollipop" was leading within the party, and yep, Trudeau must be loving that and won't need to direct movers to the official residence anytime soon.

the 'pinnacle of ConMedia' says both Charest and MacKay... are in!

Former Quebec premier Jean Charest to run for the Conservative leadership

Peter MacKay '100 per cent in' for the Conservative leadership race, friends say

well, of course, Peter MacKay! What else would account for his being interviewed about the Ukraine plane purportedly shot down in Iran... where, somehow, MacKay managed to criticize the lack of forceful Canadian government action... without acknowledging the HarperCon role in severing diplomatic ties with Iran. Wait, what? You say MacKay's wife is Iranian-Canadian... well, there you go - no wonder he was interviewed!  ;D

Stephen Harper resigns from the Conservative Fund board to block Jean Charest


Quote
Former prime minister Stephen Harper has suddenly resigned from the board of the Conservative Party of Canada’s fundraising arm, as the party descends into organizational chaos and bitter recrimination in the first week of its leadership campaign.

And since the first version of this article was posted, two top Conservative sources have told Maclean’s that Harper’s main goal in resigning is to free himself up to block Jean Charest’s campaign for the party leadership.

Charest, the former Quebec premier who was Progressive Conservative party leader from 1993 to 1998, called Harper before Christmas to seek his blessing for a run, a source with knowledge of the situation said. Harper refused to give it, saying the party is no longer the party Charest led. As it becomes increasingly clear that Charest is serious about a run, Harper has decided to become directly involved in the campaign, sources said.

Harper’s departure from the Fund will not mark the end of his close involvement with the party. Another source close to Harper said Fund members are required to stay neutral during leadership campaigns and that Harper wants more “latitude” than that rule permits.

On a personal level maybe but he will need to convince people his party has become more middle of the road socially. That will mean overcoming Liberal and NDP efforts to paint it as a bunch of right wing religious fanatics.

Stephen Harper resigned from the CPC funding board today so he can battle Jean Charest.  I guess Harper thinks Charest is not the right kind of Conservative. 

Quote
Maclean's magazine columnist Paul Wells reported Wednesday that Harper stepped back from an official party role so he could be more actively involved in the upcoming leadership race.

The magazine, citing an unnamed source, said prospective leadership candidate Jean Charest sought Harper's endorsement in a December phone call but the former prime minister refused to give it.

Harper told Charest, a former leader of the now-defunct Progressive Conservative Party of Canada, that "the party is no longer the party [you] led," the magazine reported. The more moderate PC Party merged with the conservative Canadian Alliance in 2003.

Speaking to CBC's Power & Politics today, Wells said Harper's decision to leave the board was "accelerated" as it became increasingly clear Charest is readying a run for the leadership.

"It's pretty clear that Stephen Harper does not want Jean Charest to be the leader. As a long-time senior Conservative said to me, 'Harper is quitting the fund board so he can block Charest.' That wasn't my language, that was volunteered to me by one of my sources," Wells said.

Is Jean Charest popular in Quebec?  If so, that could be huge for the CPC.

Rona Ambrose is too smart to run for PM.  Who needs that drama in your life.

Jean Charest is currently on Huawei's payroll.   After the McCallum thing, the Meng Wanzhou dustup, and the ongoing detention of Canadians in China as retaliation, maybe we don't need more Huawei-connected people in our government.  We could do with less Chinese influence, rather than more.
