the former radical Prime Minister Stephen Harper Has endorsed Pierre Poiliver as the next leader of the party.
In a rare public return to party politics, Harper released a short video on Twitter discussing her support.
Harper says the competition to lead the party is full of candidates, but one stands out.
The former prime minister says Poilievre served as a strong minister under him when the Conservatives were in power, before being defeated by Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2015.
Harper says that Poliver spent the last few years in opposition to the government being the party’s “most vocal and effective critic”.
He says Poilivre talks of pressing economic issues such as debt and inflation, and offers solutions that are “rooted in sound conservative views.”
