In the 2021 election, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberals won 15 of the 18 ridings with 20 per cent or more Chinese-Canadians.

Opinion | BY NELSON WISEMAN | April 7, 2022
Pierre Poilievre and Jean Charest are the top-tier aspirants. Second-tier candidates include Leslyn Lewis and Patrick Brown. The others, if they can raise the money to stay in the race, will probably be also-rans; their public profile is low, too low to gather the momentum and sign up the new party members necessary to win, writes Nelson Wiseman.

Former Quebec premier Jean Charest and Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown have reportedly formed a pact in the federal leadership race, according to The Toronto Star, that could make one of them the next leader of the Conservative party. On the surface, it makes little sense why a former short-time Ontario provincial leader and now Brampton mayor, known for running the show there, is coming forward to throw his hat into the race. But Brown has politics in his blood and greater ambitions, writes Ken Rubin.
