Podcast appearances and mentions of Jean Charest

The long-awaited Carney-Trump summit in the Oval Office left the Canadian delegation feeling encouraged, though the U.S. president still taunted the prime minister over Canada becoming the 51st American state. Former Quebec premier Jean Charest, also a member of Prime Minister Mark Carney's Council on Canada-U.S. Relations, joins the show to explain why he believes Canada could ultimately have reason to thank the president.Then, two former top political staffers share their thoughts on the critical meeting and discuss the future of the Canada-U.S. trade and security relationship and how it could influence Carney's cabinet picks.Plus, as the Conservative Party asks itself tough questions about what to do next following a stinging election loss, Globe and Mail senior reporter Stephanie Levitz compares notes with Catherine Cullen on what she's hearing inside the Conservative caucus and whether Pierre Poilievre is safe as party leader.Finally, MPs who lose their seats in the election are quietly packing up and saying goodbye. Liberal Marc Serré, Conservative Rick Perkins, New Democrat Peter Julian and the Bloc's Julie Vignola share the lessons they've learned from hard losses, and the joys and sacrifices of political life.This episode features the voices of:Jean Charest, former Quebec premier and former deputy prime ministerBrian Clow, former deputy chief of staff to Justin TrudeauGerry Keller, chief of staff to former foreign affairs John BairdStephanie Levitz, senior reporter for the Globe and MailJulie Vignola, former Bloc Québécois MP Rick Perkins, former Conservative MPPeter Julian, former NDP MPMarc Serré, former Liberal MP

Rajoutez à cela plusieurs anciens intervenants pro-Jean Charest et activistes de gauche : on tente clairement de remettre en question la pertinence du chef conservateur à peine le scrutin terminé.On commente également la chicane entre le Parti Québécois et le Bloc Québécois, à la suite des déclarations publiques de Paul Saint-Pierre Plamondon, qui a ouvertement critiqué la stratégie du Bloc québécois et d'Yves-François Blanchet visant à collaborer à court terme avec le nouveau gouvernement de Mark Carney.0:00 Intro0:16 Les médias sèment le doute sur Poilievre7:18 Le conservateur est toujours le méchant11:14 Décompte final des élections fédérales18:21 PSPP blâme la stratégie du Bloc27:03 Plusieurs députés ont perdu leur pension28:20 Josée Legault appuie YFB33:16 À venir dans le Patreon

Canada-U.S. relations council member and former Quebec premier Jean Charest discusses where negotiations with the U.S. stand, after Prime Minister Mark Carney emerged from today's council meeting saying he'd leave instructions to help the 'next government' prepare for talks with the U.S. President Donald Trump in early May. Plus, Unifor president Lana Payne discusses how much U.S. tariffs and retaliatory tariffs factored into the halt in production at an Ontario GM plant that's laying off hundreds of workers.

Canada is not on U.S. President Donald Trump's list of countries subject to 10 per cent ‘baseline' tariffs, but Trump says a separate 25 per cent levy on all foreign-made autos will hit at midnight on April 2. Power & Politics digs into Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs, with insights from Jean Charest, former Quebec premier and member of the Prime Minister's Canada-U.S. Council and Chuck Todd, American political analyst and former host of Meet the Press.

This week, we're once again brining you the audio from one of our most recent event. This time it's from a webinar on Canada-U.S. relations that we held on March 5, 2025. The second Trump administration is turning into an unsettling roller-coaster ride, and Canadians can't seem to get off. Every day seems to bring a new set of goalposts, demands and threats. In this webinar moderated by IRPP president and CEO Jennifer Ditchburn, IRPP Board members Jean Charest, Janice Charette, Ian Brodie and Christopher Sands unpacked the challenges facing Canadian governments in these tumultuous times and discussed what it will take to build economic and social resilience for the long haul. A video version of the event is also available on our website at irpp.org

Voici les sujets essentiels de l'émission La commission du 6 mars 2025: Le président Donald Trump suspend l'essentiel des droits de douane contre le Mexique jusqu'au 2 avril: Jean Charest, ancien premier ministre du Québec et membre du Conseil sur les relations canado-américaines, pense que la réalité rattrape les Américains et que le Canada devrait bénéficier d’une suspension similaire. Les maires de Laval, Montréal et Québec sont à Washington pour faire pression sur l'administration Trump dans le dossier des tarifs: Leur message est-il entendu? Plusieurs entrepreneurs, comme Nicholas Drouin de l’entreprise beauceronne Matra, tentent d'obtenir l'attention du gouvernement, car en raison des plafonds imposés sur le nombre de travailleurs étrangers, ils se doivent maintenant d’en licencier par centaines: Écoutez le ministre de l'Immigration, de la Francisation et de l'Intégration, Jean-François Roberge, répondre à ces craintes. La GRC, la SQ et la police provinciale de l’Ontario ont uni leurs efforts dans une opération pancanadienne d’envergure de lutte contre l’exploitation sexuelle des enfants sur l’internet: Plus de 100 individus soupçonnés d’être des cyberprédateurs ont été arrêtés, dont 30 au Québec.

Malgré des années de trolling assumé par Trump, certains médias et politiciens continuent de tout prendre au pied de la lettre, sans reconnaître la blague évidente. Seul Jean Charest semble avoir saisi l'humour derrière ce geste. On revient également sur la tentative de coup d'État en Corée du Sud, qui a plongé le pays dans le chaos pendant 24 heures. Avec la levée de la loi martiale, le président Yoon Suk-Yeol se retrouve menacé de destitution imminente. DANS LA PARTIE PATREON, on commence en parlant amplement de l'annonce du ministre de la Santé Christian Dubé qui va désormais obliger tous les nouveaux médecins formés au Québec à travailler dans le réseau public de santé pendant 5 ans. Cette culture du bâton et de l'interdiction est reflétée également par le texte de Tasha Kheiriddin qui veut que le gouvernement interdise les cellulaires aux jeunes de moins de 16 ans. Ensuite, deux segments de CNN sont écoutés, où le commentateur républicain Scott Jennings réplique brillamment à deux collègues défendant le pardon controversé d'Hunter Biden par Joe Biden. L'épisode se termine sur des notes plus légères avec l'annonce d'un livre écrit par un de nos membres Patreon, disponible dans la boutique, et un moment humoristique sur Pierre Martin ayant mal partagé son lien vers son compte Bluesky.

Beginning with the era of Robert Bourassa in the early 1990s, to the return of the Parti Quebecois and the 1995 Quebec Referendum, Quebec went through several rises and falls over the course of 30 years. Jean Charest would lead Quebec through three mandates, and Pauline Marois would become the province's first female premier.

"If we have one takeaway from the past eight months, it's that a lot of Canadians are angry." That's one of the headlines used in an op-ed piece written by Tasha Kheiriddin about the power of Pierre Poilievre, the new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. Tasha was a Co-Chair for Jean Charest's campaign for the Conservative Party leadership in a bid to win it over that of Poilievre, but why should the Liberals be afraid of him? Alex spoke with her to talk about it.

What does Pierre Poilievre mean for the direction of the Conservative Party of Canada? And for conservatism in Canada? And is there such a thing as Poilievree-ism? Ginny Roth and Andrew Coyne discuss the results of the Conservative Party of Canada leadership race.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Conservative Party of Canada will announce a new leader on Saturday evening. This comes after more than half a year of campaigning. Scott Aitchison, Roman Baber, Jean Charest, Leslyn Lewis and Pierre Poilievre were all competing for the job, but it's widely expected that Pierre Poilievre will win the race.The Globe's writer-at-large and longtime political columnist, John Ibbitson explains why Mr. Poilievre is the favourite to win, what it signals for the future of the Conservative Party and the broader implications to Canadian politics.

Federal Conservatives are picking a new leader this weekend. We discuss the race and what comes next, with Kerry-Lynne Findlay, co-chair of Pierre Poilievre's leadership campaign in B.C., and the MP for South Surrey-White Rock; Karen Vecchio, MP for Elgin-Middlesex-London, who supports Jean Charest, who is Poilievre's main challenger; and Conservative strategist Shakir Chambers.

The Conservative leadership race will be finally coming to a close on Saturday when the winner will be announced in Ottawa.The safe bet is that Pierre Poilievre will win — perhaps even on the first ballot. But what will the results mean not only for the consensus front runner, but for Jean Charest, Leslyn Lewis, Roman Baber and Scott Aitchison?Does it matter if Poilievre wins on the first ballot? What's next for Charest should he lose? What will the results mean for Lewis and the social conservative wing of the party? And did Baber and Aitchison succeed in what they set out to do by launching their long-shot candidacies?To answer these questions and lots more, I'm joined this week by Tim Powers of Summa Strategies, Chad Rogers of Crestview Strategy and Stephanie Levitz of the Toronto Star.As always, in addition to listening to the episode in your inbox, at TheWrit.ca or on podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, you can also watch this discussion on YouTube.

GUEST HOST: David Menzies Jean Charest recently published an open letter in the Toronto Sun newspaper. It was addressed to: “My fellow members of the Conservative Party of Canada; Please accept this as my final pitch to those of you who have yet to cast a ballot in the leadership race.” Bottom line: there is one single solitary paragraph in Charest's open letter that I wholeheartedly agree with: “Canadians are looking for a leader who is ready to take on the responsibility of prime minister and all the responsibilities and the tough decisions that come with it.” You are indeed correct, Jean. After seven years of misery under the Trudeau Liberals, Canadians are indeed looking for a brave Prime Minister to make tough decisions in order to repair a broken and divided country. However that person is not you, Mr. Charest. GUEST: Gary Duke from Grand Prairie, Alberta, used to be a Scotiabank client… until that bank decided to, well, fire him.

Matt Brevner and Dakota Christensen host the midweek DAILY, where they talk about a tent city eviction in Vancouver that went poorly, Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland weighs in on the FBI's raid of Donald Trump's Florida resident, legacy media experts are blasting ArriveCAN for violating rights, and in the battle between Conservative leadership front-runners Pierre Poilievre and Jean Charest, there appears to be a divide between party members and Canadians as a whole.

David Menzies and Dakota Christensen host this Tuesday edition of the DAILY, as former prime minister Stephen Harper endorses Pierre Poilievre, Jean Charest supports vaccine mandates to protect public sector employees, and Robert Downey Jr. wants you to eat the bugs.

Politics doesn't take a summer vacation.In the Conservative leadership race, Pierre Poilievre seems to be cruising toward a victory in September but Jean Charest isn't throwing in the towel just yet. What will the results mean for the future of the party?For the Liberals, the summer hasn't been going great. From passports to airports and Ukraine, various problems keep dogging the government. Will this just be a summer Justin Trudeau will want to forget or the first signs of serious trouble?This week on The Writ Podcast to discuss all this (and more), I'm joined by journalist Shannon Proudfoot and Supriya Dwivedi, Director of Policy and Engagement at the Centre for Media, Technology and Democracy, and Senior Counsel for Enterprise Canada. She's also the co-host of the Seriously Podcast.(Note: The news that Pierre Poilievre isn't interested in attending the third Conservative debate came out after we recorded.)The Writ is a reader-supported publication.

Guest: Stephanie Levitz, politics reporter for the Star With just under two months left in the Conservative party leadership race, it's been a wild week that still hasn't been settled. Disqualified leadership candidate Patrick Brown is using legal means to see if he can remain in the race, but also throwing his support behind leadership candidate Jean Charest. He and Pierre Poilievre are the front-runners for the top job in an important contest where things like traditional conservative values are being challenged by a new populism, which is what the party has to wrestle with and reconcile as they choose a new leader. This episode was produced by Alexis Green, Matthew Hearn and Raju Mudhar. Audio sources used in this episode: Global News, CTV, CBC, CPAC.

With the deadline for eligibility now gone, it's time for the Conservative leadership contestants to start converting members, both old and new, into voting supporters. But with a pool of more than 600,000 members, this race has suddenly gotten much, much bigger than it has ever been before.Though, with Pierre Poilievre's campaign claiming half of those members, is there much of a race left to run? Do Patrick Brown and Jean Charest still have a path to victory? And what role could Leslyn Lewis still play?To discuss what the numbers mean and what's next for the leadership contest, I'm joined this week by Tim Powers of Summa Strategies, Chad Rogers of Crestview Strategy and Stephanie Levitz of the Toronto Star.The Writ is a reader-supported publication.

For those who have been paying attention to Canadian politics for the past 3-4 decades, Jean Charest will be a familiar figure. Charest was first elected to the House of Commons in 1984, he lead the Progressive Conservative Party from 1993-1998, he also served as the 29th premier of Quebec... as a Liberal. After a 10-year political hiatus, Charest is running for leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada. His past affiliations, and some of his policies, have been touted by his rivals as proof that he's a Liberal in disguise. His chances at winning may hinge on his ability to convince party members otherwise.  So what is Jean Charest's pitch? How do his politics stack up to the likely frontrunner, Pierre Poilievre? And does he actually stand a chance?  GUEST: Catherine Cullen, Senior Reporter on Parliament Hill for CBC News.

The Conservatives met in Laval, Quebec on Wednesday for the final debate before the June 3rd leadership cut-off. With the debate taking place entirely in French, and three of the candidates doing no more than reading from prepared notes, it was really a contest between Pierre Poilievre, Jean Charest and Patrick Brown.Or, to be more accurate, between Poilievre and a tag-team of Charest and Brown.The Writ is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.To discuss what happened in the debate and what it could mean for the leadership contest going forward, I'm joined this week by Stéphanie Chouinard, political science professor at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario.In addition to listening to the episode in your inbox, at TheWrit.ca or on podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, you can also watch my discussion with Stéphanie on YouTube.To watch past discussions and to be notified of new videos being posted, please subscribe to my YouTube Channel here.

Last night, six Conservative leadership hopefuls squared off in the first official debate of the race. Conservative MPs Pierre Poilievre, Leslyn Lewis and Scott Aitchison; former Quebec premier Jean Charest; Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown; and Ontario MPP Roman Baber shared the stage – and while they're all supposed to be playing for the same team, things still got a bit scrappy. Power and Politics host Vassy Kapelos was in Edmonton for the event and she joins Jayme Poisson to recap the night.

GUEST HOST: DAVID MENZIES Did you catch the Conservative leadership debate last night? If you didn't, here's the post-game summary: judging by applause, the clearcut winner was surely Pierre Poilievre; judging by boos, jeers, and even downright derisive laughter, the definite loser was Jean Charest. No surprise there, really. But there was also a candidate who lost the debate due to default given that he was a no-show: that would be sneaky Patrick Brown, Brampton's full-time mayor and part-time Zamboni inspector. GUEST: National Post columnist Rupa Subramanya

If you were looking for a hockey brawl kind of debate amongst those who are competing for the Conservative Party leadership, well then you got what you wanted last night.  Bruce and Chantal have their views on what was accomplished and what was not. Also more on the potential Canadian fallout to a major pending US court decision on abortion.

Eight people are in the running for leadership of the Conservative Party, but only one will emerge victorious and get a chance to become the next Prime Minister of Canada. We're joined by Politico's Nick Taylor-Vaisey and Backbench regular Jason Markusoff to introduce our candidates. What's their vision? What have they done? And who's most likely to flame out publicly?Links:Subscribe to Politico's Ottawa Playbook newsletter See the picture of teenage Patrick Brown with a Jean Charest poster on his wallAt the time of recording, Joseph Bourgault was not yet confirmed as a candidate, but he is also in the running.

Chantal and Bruce debate just what kind of treatment the media is giving Conservative Leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre and compare it to the treatment Donald Trump got in 2016.  Fair or unfair?

David Menzies and Nat Biase host as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was jeered in British Columbia yesterday, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says the housing crisis is a problem of simple math (while the Liberals continue to push for record immigration) and Conservative leadership contenders Jean Charest and Pierre Poilievre trade barbs on the campaign trail.

Catch up on what you missed on an episode of The Richard Syrett Show. Author at World Net Daily, Bob Unruh on why Hunter Biden's laptop is a national security threat. Senior Contributor for the National Telegraph, Daniel Bordman on a Nanos Poll that finds Conservatives believe Jean Charest most likely to win election. Homeschooling advice w/Ruth Gaskovski.

Like the show? https://www.patreon.com/newleftradio (Support us on Patreon)! Jean Charest is in and putting his bet on pipelines! Gas prices are HIGH. This is among the clearest day to day manifestation of corporate greed affecting Canadians. Charest shirks questions on Bill 21. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is addressing the House of Commons tomorrow and the Prime Minister is introducing him. Will he use the opportunity with all eyes on Ottawa to make a major announcement? Maybe Kiefer Sutherland, Tommy Douglas' grandson, should run for parliament? _________ https://twitter.com/Joe_Roberts01 (Follow Joe on Twitter) https://twitter.com/itsrodgermoran (Follow Rodger on Twitter) _________

There's been no official declaration of war, but given the actions of Canada and other nations have already taken in defence of Ukraine and at the expense of Russia, are we already in fact, at war?  Bruce and Chantal on that as well as what difference Jean Charest makes to the Conservative leadership race.
