I am Québécois. Don't ever let Jean ( John James ) Charest get his corrupt, thievy hands anywhere near political office again.

Court-packing is a Liberal tradition on both sides of the border and in Québec too.

Judges nominations under Charest's government were vetted for their Liberal Party loyalty. He personally told the Minister of Justice who to nominate, which led to Marc Bellemare leaving the Liberals.

When Franco Fava, Liberal mafia organizer, told Bellemarre who to nominate for judge next, Bellemarre asked Jean Charest WTF was happening. Jean Charest told Bellemare to do as Fava told him to.

Public contracts for infrastructure in Québec used to cost 30% more than elsewhere for no reason other than corruption. Mafia-owned companies would collude between themselves and the !iberals to apply for public contracts at higher submissions, and gave a cut back to the Liberal party.

The liberals would add obscure, nonsensical requirements to contracts to pretend they just had to take their buddies for the job, because they knew how to fit the nonsensical criteria. And if non-colluding companies managed to qualify anyway, the mafia would intimidate and run out them of town.

Liberals would then add extremely costy "extras" to the public contracts while their buddies were on the job.

When journalists found out by checking public contract records, Liberals lied and said they stopped doing that. In fact, they simply made sure the record of the "extras" would not be filed with the rest of the contract so trying to make the connection for the truckloads of "extras" filed independently would be near-impossible.

Charest spent the last decade+ building his web of influence and his buddies are salivating at cashing-in their relationship with the guy. Which he will oblige, with taxpayer's money, as he did when ruling Québec.

He's not a Conservative. He's not a Liberal ( as in, political philosophy ) he's a Crook. Nepotism to trade favors is all he does.
